John Cartisser's crew does roofs and siding out of Wellesley, and what customers write about is not the shingles — it is how much they hear from him. After a complete siding replacement, a May 2026 homeowner described daily updates on what had been accomplished and a preview of what to expect the next day. A May 2025 customer said he communicates every day; several others say he was on site every day the crew was working. Most of the 26 Google reviews name John himself, and they run from 2021 to 2026, with a five-star average across 46 ratings. Roofs are the job that comes up most often: a new roof with three skylights in August 2021, old rotten skylights replaced that November on a neighbour's recommendation, a roof plus gutters and downspouts on a Cape-style house in April 2022. Siding has carried through 2025 and into 2026 — full replacements described in August and September 2025 and again in May 2026 — and one October 2021 customer had Trident paint the entire inside of the house. The work is not all house-sized. In a July 2023 review, the owner of a property management firm wrote that Trident had recently completed a roof replacement project on fifty buildings. Small jobs seem to get answered too: an April 2025 customer with a minor siding project said the first three companies they called never called back, and John reached out after they posted a question online. An October 2021 homeowner said he took their call on a Friday evening. Cleanup comes up repeatedly in the older reviews — no trash left behind in December 2021, an immaculate cleanup in November 2021, and in April 2022 a crew that protected the lawn and flowers while installing shingles and then spent a long time afterwards clearing up. On pricing, an October 2021 customer said the price was fair and a January 2026 customer praised what they were charged. In a May 2024 Reddit thread, a commenter wrote that "Trident Home Solutions is a great company." Its Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration, #199266, is active on the state register; the company's own site lists a Master Shingle Applicator certification and says John brings over 15 years of contracting experience. For a full roof or a whole run of siding around Boston's western suburbs, this is a shop where the owner runs the job himself — ask how your job is scheduled against the others in progress, and get the scope, the materials and the cleanup terms written down before the trucks arrive.
“Trident is a great company”
Trident did a phenomenal job doing a complete replacement of our siding. John was delightful to work with from start to finish. Communication was clear and frequent, with daily updates on what had been accomplished and previews of what we could expect the next day. John was actively on site throughout the three-week job, and his team of installers worked incredibly hard to keep things moving quickly. He truly went above and beyond at every turn, from collaborating with other contractors planning accompanying jobs at our house to problem-solving when our newly installed doorbell wasn't working. His pricing was fair and reasonable and the finished product looks fantastic! We couldn't be happier with our Trident experience.
John and his company are A+ in every way! John is incredibly responsive, understanding, ethical, and caring. He always goes “the extra mile” as a professional and as a human being. We couldn’t ask for anything more!!!
Prompt response and attentive service to get the job done! John at Trident Home Solutions is fantastic. Absolutely give them a call!!
John and his crew were incredible. Communicative, responsive and honestly the most reasonably priced shop in all of Massachusetts. They completely transformed our house. We couldn’t be happier.
We hired John and his crew from Trident Home Solutions to help with our siding project. We can't speak highly enough about the communication, professionalism and vision that John and his crew brought to help with our project. John went above and beyond making sure we understood every step of the project. He met with us several times at our house before the project started and during the project he would meet daily with us to give us updates. The 4-5 man crew were easy to work with and always attentive to our questions and comments. This company puts customer satisfaction as a priority!!!! It's been several weeks and neighbors are still complimenting us on the work done. We had an idea of what we wanted ....but what we ended up with surpassed our expectation. Without hesitation we would recommend John and Trident Home Solutions.
