Typical Greater Boston range for this kind of work, from regional averages — not a quote from Stealth 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
Rob Leal's crew has been gutting Somerville and Medford houses since 2001, and the accounts that stick are the ones where the house fought back. In a December 2018 review, a Davis Square couple described a six-month gut renovation that turned up floor joists needing replacement throughout and fire damage hidden in the roof — and still finished, they wrote, in six months to the day. On the first walk-through Rob had found a new spot for the staircase that let a full bath fit in the attic without an expensive dormer. Its Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration, number 154038, is active, and the company has been BBB Accredited with an A+ grade since 2006. BuildZoom counts 56 permitted projects. The recent work still reads well. In June 2025 a Google reviewer described Rob, Kyle and Jeff installing a beam to open a kitchen into the dining room in six hours; another that month praised a new porch; a May 2026 Thumbtack client credited Robert with the tile, paint and fixture choices on a bathroom and the rebuilt front stairs. The exception is worth reading closely. In October 2023 a Houzz reviewer gave one star and described a rushed project with no project manager assigned, a meeting scheduled months ahead that was no-showed, contract schedule steps skipped without approval, and no communication with the engineer, calling the result overpriced and partly poorly done. That is one voice against eleven — but it is specific, and it is about process rather than taste. So: a small outfit, five employees by the BBB's count, that homeowners keep hiring for whole-house work and for the beam-and-staircase problems other builders shy from. Before signing, get your project manager named in writing, put the schedule and change-approval steps in the contract, and settle who talks to your engineer.
“I've also heard good things about Stealth Construction.”
“We have known Robert Leal, and his stellar team at Stealth, since 2006. Stealth has done many projects for us over the years both big and small.”
Stealth Construction did a phenomenal job with my bathroom renovation and also redid the stairs to my front door. Robert is professional, extremely communicative, and employs a terrific team. The quality of work was outstanding on both projects — you can tell they take real pride in what they do. Robert is also fantastic with design; he helped me make tile, paint, and fixture choices that I'm really happy with. I'd highly recommend Stealth Construction to anyone looking for a reliable contractor who delivers excellent results.
A huge thank you to Rob, Kyle, and Jeff for the incredible work they did installing a beam to open up our kitchen to the dining room. From start to finish, they were kind, thoughtful, and so professional. They finished everything in just 6 hours and the transformation is absolutely beautiful — it took our breath away! We’re so grateful for their hard work and can’t wait to have them back for future projects. Truly a dream team!
Great contractors. Really helpful in figuring out what I wanted. Easy to work with. Did great work. I love the new porch they built for me.
We used Stealth Construction to completely redo our front stairway and deck area. Debby was incredibly communicative, and the team finished the job on budget in just one day. I have never had a construction project go this well -- it was completely stress free. Thank you so much, Stealth Team!
Rushed through project; poor communication; attitude from secretary but could not speak with anyone else and no project manager assigned; no showed meeting scheduled months in advance; skipped steps and did not follow schedule agreements in contract or obtain approvals to change these prior to changing; did not include or communicate with engineer. Overpriced, poor value for work required and partially/poorly done. Perfect for consumers that don't know what they are doing or what is required of a project and just want cheap aesthetics.
