Stanley Roofing Co Inc

Stanley Roofing Company works out of 42 Mitchell Road in Ipswich and is hired for commercial and industrial roofs rather than houses: membrane, built-up, slate and copper systems, with its own sheet metal shop forming flashing and copper work in-house. The company says it was founded by owner and president Paul R. Stanley, is still run by the original owners with a second generation of Stanleys involved, and has been at it for more than fifty years. Its Massachusetts home improvement registration, number 123089, is verified as active on the state registry in the company's own name. The company separately states a sheet metal licence number of 546, which is its own claim rather than something confirmed against a registry. The work that is easiest to check is institutional. Building permits record a strip-and-re-roof of Waltham City Hall in 2023, an $872,400 roof replacement in Malden in 2024, a $532,000 emergency partial roof replacement at Blake Middle School in Medfield in 2022, a $319,815 roof at the Gallo Ice Arena in Buzzards Bay in 2021, and an 82,000 square foot PVC re-roof in Westford. In 2019 the National Roofing Contractors Association gave the company an award for constructing the roof at the Coolidge Corner School in Brookline, a project where it is also named as the roofing contractor in the North American Copper in Architecture awards for the building's wall cladding. Direct homeowner feedback is thin. Google shows 4.3 stars from six ratings, and only two carry any text. The fuller of the two, from May 2026, describes a crew that was on time and knowledgeable, explained the roofing process clearly, finished ahead of schedule without cutting corners and left the property clean. The thing to raise is safety. Federal Department of Labor enforcement records describe an OSHA inspection of the company at Gloucester High School that produced four citations and $11,520 in proposed penalties, with the case opened in August 2005, and OSHA holds a further inspection record for the company tied to a Hyannis job site with a related safety complaint. Ask who runs site safety now and how crews are supervised on steep and high work. For a school district, municipality or building owner replacing a large or historic roof, this is a firm with a long documented record of exactly that work. Someone wanting a small residential repair is not the customer it describes itself as serving.
