Universal J & S Construction, Inc.

Universal J & S Construction is a Quincy contractor whose reviews cluster around two jobs: deck and porch work, and asphalt-shingle roof repairs. On the roofing side, a 2020 customer whose roof had a leak said the crew was responsive with no surprises, and a different December 2020 review called the finished roof and chimney work clean and well done. A 2020 Google review described a full roof replacement after a home purchase, with options laid out up front and updates through the job. On the carpentry side, a 2025 review said the company had built four decks for the same customer with no complaints, and a 2021 review credited it with fixing deck steps at a lower price than two other estimates. Not every account is glowing. A January 2021 review, from a customer who dealt with a salesperson, a contractor and an owner, called the company a scam over how a subcontracted worker was handled; an October 2020 review said a deposit was collected and two promised start dates came and went before the job got done. Both are older accounts, not recent ones, but worth asking about directly. One more thing to confirm before booking: the company's Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration, held under its own name, currently shows expired on the state registry. For a deck build or a roof repair around Quincy, the written record runs 2020 to 2025 and is mostly positive — get the license question answered up front before handing over a deposit.
