The Dirty Roofer

The Dirty Roofer is a small Boston outfit whose reviews keep naming the same two guys, Brendan and Eamon, doing hands-on roofing and copper work themselves rather than sending out a rotating crew. The work described spans real range: an ice dam repair that held up through a recent cold snap, a rubber roof and porch shingling job from years back that a customer says is still leak-free, and a full roof repair this spring where the crew flagged deteriorating chimney masonry on their own and added chimney caps to the job rather than leaving it for the homeowner to notice later. A repeat customer who has used them several times over the years singles out their copper work as consistently well done. One thing worth asking about directly: the state registry shows the company's Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration has lapsed. That doesn't erase the work described above, but it's worth confirming current licensing status before signing a contract. For roofing work that might also touch copper flashing or chimney details, this reads as a small, hands-on operation with a track record customers keep coming back to — just get the licensing question settled first.
