Typical Greater Boston range for this kind of work, from regional averages — not a quote from Sousa Roofing & Construction. Use it to sanity-check bids, then get the real number in writing.
A square is 100 sq ft of roof surface — bigger than the floor plan because of pitch and overhangs.
Estimated range
$9,000 – $18,600
Typical roofing project around $13,800
Four roofers, five quotes, one bid so low it went straight in the trash. The people who hired Sousa Roofing mostly describe the same thing: how they chose. A June 2026 customer narrowed a field of four down to two finalists and went with Sousa. Another, writing that same week, had gathered five quotes from Bridgewater-area companies after a hard winter finished off a roof that was already failing. A third put it flatly — not the cheapest roofer, but the most professional they had encountered, with no pressure to sign. Sousa Roofing & Construction runs out of Lakeville and is family-run: Jaime DeSousa owns it, his son Jadin is field operations manager, and the site claims 30 years of experience with hands-on construction work going back to 1995. Roofing is the centre of it; the site also lists siding, windows and gutters, with coverage from Cape Cod and the South Coast up through Metro Boston and into Rhode Island. What customers describe of the work itself is specific. A December 2021 reviewer got the best quote of the companies contacted that were rated 4.5 stars and up, Owens Corning shingles, and the color asked for. In February 2022, a homeowner whose 140-year-old house took the October 26, 2021 nor'easter said Jamie answered every question and made recommendations where they were needed. An August 2024 review, written months after the March job it describes, called the price good and the quality high. A June 2024 customer got an estimate and had the project underway right away. Two things to have in hand before calling. Price is one: a June 2026 customer said plainly they are not the cheapest, so a homeowner shopping on number alone should expect to see lower bids. The other is paperwork — the company's site lists a Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration, #219820, and a construction supervisor licence, CS-093469, so ask to see both, plus the certificate of insurance, when the quote arrives. If you want a roofer who will sit down and walk the quote through line by line, and you would rather pay for that than chase the lowest number, this is that kind of shop. Estimates are free; get the shingle line, the warranty terms and the start date written into the contract.
Highly recommended. In a world of shady contractors especially in roofing, Sousa Roofing is a breath of fresh air and did exactly what they said they would. Very detailed quote, no surprises and the owner is very patient and spends time explaining everything. Roof was installed in one long day and everything was left clean.
Out of four roofers, I settled on Sousa and another well known company as the finalists. One guy gave me a price that was ridiculously low. That was a red flag so I threw his quote in the trash. The third was comparable in price with Sousa and the other, but the sales guy was not so friendly. Like I owed him for his time. Maybe because he saw me as an elder so he felt he could try to take advantage of me, not sure. First off Sousa wasn’t the cheapest and frankly about $800 more than the other roofing contractor. The reason I chose Sousa was because they gave me their cost up front, with a very detailed proposal listing everything even with costs up front in case I need to replace plywood etc., and didn’t try to haggle me with extras. I did ask if they could take some money off, and they agreed to discount 300 bucks. Still a few hundred more than the other roofer but my gut was telling me lean towards Sousa. There was no start high, then sell me this and that, we have the Cadillac version, we have this version. Just give me a damn quote that tells me what I get and how much. So something didn’t sit right with me, so I went with Sousa. Gave them my word over the phone. The next day I met with the owner and we signed the contract and scheduled my roof install. Within six days I had materials delivered, crew showed up at 7am and a new roof installed by 5pm and everything cleaned up. The owner set his guys up in the morning, then popped by again a few hours later and we chatted for a good hour about everything but the roof. What a fine young man he is. Very down to earth and good person. I’m happy with my roof. We have had a lot rain since and no issues so far. My son who lives in Plainville also needs a new roof and has already signed up Sousa to do the work at the end of June. I highly recommend Sousa Roofing and would use them again and recommend them to anyone looking for a roofer. God Bless.
My husband and I couldn’t be more satisfied with Sousa Roofing. This past winter did a number on our roof that already had to be replaced. So we ventured off and received five quotes from what we feel are reputable roofing companies in the Bridgewater area. Sousa was the third highest. But my husband and I were impressed with the detailed proposal and the no games sales pitch like we received from other roofers. There was no you get this for this much, and if you get that it’s this much. Sousa’s proposal broke everything down with one total cost. You knew exactly what you were getting and for how much. The experience from the initial contact, to pricing to the actual work was a pleasure. Jamie and his crew were professional and respectful every step of the way. I highly recommend them.
Friendly, informative, and did exactly what they said they would do. The owner, Jamie, and his son, Jaden, are genuine people. I can see where his son gets his mannerisms from. Not the cheapest roofer, but definitely the most professional I encountered. No pressure to sign on the spot. My roof was 28 squares--a big boy. It was installed in April of this year, and so far, no issues, even with the heavy downpours we have had. I highly recommend Sousa. You essentially get what you pay for.
This review is well overdue as the work was done at the end of March. I'm very satisfied with the roof Sousa installed on our house—great price, excellent quality, and very professional. At least, that's what my husband said to write! So I trust his opinion. Overall, 10 out of 10!
