- History inconsistent — website gives conflicting years-in-business claims
- Limited track record — only a handful of reviews across few sites
Tempco Roofing Co works out of South Boston, the kind of outfit people call when a roof starts leaking and they need someone there fast. Its own site says it has covered the neighborhood and surrounding communities for decades, though the number changes depending on which page you read — anywhere from roughly six years to over forty — so treat any claim about how long it has been around with some skepticism. What holds up across independent write-ups — a roofing directory, a neighbor-recommendation site, and a handful of Google ratings averaging 4.2 out of five — is a consistent shape to the story: someone calls about a leak, Tempco responds quickly, quotes a price, and does the work at that price. Multiple sources single out the responsiveness and the fact that the quoted number held. None of this runs deep — it is a handful of reviews spread across a handful of sites rather than a long, dense history — so the pattern reads as encouraging but lightly tested. One thing worth sorting out before booking: the company's own site names Shayne Ferrara as the person to contact, while an older business-directory listing names John Tempesta as owner — the same first name a reviewer used for whoever actually did their roof work. Worth asking who is running the crew today. For a South Boston homeowner with a leak or an aging roof, Tempco is a reasonable name to get a quote from — just confirm current ownership and get the scope and price in writing before work starts.

Called Tempco during a Nor'easter and got a very quick response. They helped me identify a source of a leak on my property in South Boston and provided both an immediate fix and long term solution. Very professional and helpful. Would recommend to others.
