Stride Services is Andy Doulis's Wakefield outfit, and the fastest way to understand what people hire them for is winter: after ice storms, reviewers describe calling in the morning and having a crew clearing snow and ice dams off the roof that same day, sometimes on a Sunday. Andy holds an active Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration, and the company's BBB profile is an A+ accredited business listing decks, masonry, roofing and siding as its services. The roofing and storm-response side of the business is the deepest vein in the record — full roof replacements, ice-dam removal, gutter work, skylight leaks fixed — and reviewers consistently point to the same things: Andy calls back fast, a crew is often on site within hours or the next morning, and the price comes in fair or under the original estimate. One customer, a self-described 40-year construction veteran, singled out the crew's safety gear and pace on a barn roof job as sharper than what he'd seen from most contractors in the trade. Beyond roofing, Stride's reviews describe a broader run of exterior and structural work — deck and patio builds, a two-story deck with a full staircase, siding replacements including a full aluminum-to-vinyl swap, porch and balcony rebuilds after rot, and a garage residing job that required structural door framing. Reviewers who've used them more than once, including a property-development company reporting dozens of jobs over several years, describe the same pattern each time: a fast, fair quote, steady communication through the project, and a site left clean, sometimes cleaner than when the crew arrived. There's nothing negative to flag in the record — every quoted review is five stars, and the last six months alone brought 10 more with no complaints. For a roof emergency, ice dams, or a bigger exterior project like a deck or siding job, the pattern holds across years and dozens of reviewers: fast response, steady updates, and a clean finish.
I've been referring Andy and his team to our real estate clients for at least 10 years now! And finally needed to use them on my own home... Our chimney was experiencing a small leak during rain in the attic space. So as I've often recommended others to do, It was finally my turn too "just call Andy" 😊 Andy came out quickly and assessed the situation for me. Turned out to not be a big problem just some deferred chimney mortaring maintenance needed. Andy quickly dispatched one of his crew to come by and do the work. Angel was great and got the job done cleanly and quickly, because it was going to rain later that day!! Thanks to Andy and his crew, no more leak! Thank to Andy!
Andy and his team did a fantastic job building our deck & patio. Great communication, professional, and helpful! Perfect job! Thank you!
I’ve worked with Stride since they started. Over the years they have consistently met or exceeded expectations. Stride solves problems instead of causing them. I highly recommend them.
We had a great experience working with Andy, he was quick to respond to our questions and his team was kind and efficient. We did both our roof and our siding, he recommended James Hardie material and we are so happy we went with it!
Andy and his team took care of a few various house projects for us and all came out above our expectations. Andy was very quick to respond initially and came out to do an assessment and provide a quote. Once hired, his men were on time and thorough. They demoed our previous porch and pergola and rebuilt both pieces, repaired the foundation around our floating living room, ripped out and reframed an exterior door to our garage, and insulated a room in our basement. All projects were done quickly and efficiently and Andy was a pleasure to work with. I've already recommended him to a friend who's buying a house down the street from us and I'd absolutely use him for future house projects again!
