Viola Roofing & Contracting is a Norwell business run by owner Mike Viola, in business 22 years according to BBB, and a James Hardie product partner for siding work. Reviewers keep coming back — for storm repairs, gutter work, and second roofs on other properties — years after their first job. One homeowner's previous contractor vanished mid-job, leaving unfinished siding and gutters; Viola stepped in and finished it. Another recalls Mike tracking down a supplier with extra stock of a shingle style that had gone out of production during a COVID-era shortage. A third accidentally overpaid the company by several thousand dollars and got a prompt refund. On Reddit, one homeowner described paying Viola about $18,000 for a full Mansard-style roof replacement and $2,200 for a small subroof between 2022 and 2023, calling the crew super responsive with great communication by email, text, and phone. The jobs described range from full roof replacements and storm-damage repairs to gutter work and siding — often coordinated by foreman Moses or estimator Brian alongside Mike. Several reviewers mention the crew leaving a property spotless, down to counting stray nails, and one long-time customer, whose original siding wasn't even installed by Viola, says Mike still responds to their repair calls after every Nor'easter. Its Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration is verified active against the state registry. BBB confirms the business address and 22 years in operation but hasn't rated it. For roofing, siding, or gutter work on the South Shore or nearby, the reviews describe a shop that shows up on time, keeps the price close to the estimate, and sticks around for the repairs that come after the original job.
“I've used Viola roofing for exactly this, it was couple of years ago. a piece of siding blew off and they came out and replaced it within a few days. very reasonable price.”
“I used Viola Roofing in 2022-2023 to fully replace a Mansard style roof ($18k) and then a tiny subroof on one side of the house ($2.2k). Super responsive and professional, great communication through email, text, and phone calls, and the roof looks great.”
“Viola roofing, they have very good reviews, excellent work, attention to detail. From Hingham.”

Just a small job, but went really well. Excellent communication from estimate to the day they were onsite. Crew was friendly, professional and quick. There was an electrical issue uncovered while removing the roof, they were able to complete all the work around it, I got an electrician onsite same day to make safe, and since they prepped everything neatly, Viola was able to fit me back into the schedule the following day and finish the job.
I called 4 companies to get quotes on replacing my roof. My neighbor used Viola roofing. They replaced his roof, siding and all the windows in the house. So I asked my neighbor would he recommend viola. He said absolutely !! He Said did everything with no surprises. I have used other contractors before and I hate that unexpected charge when they are done. I Had other good references so I used Viola. One word Fantastic !! Best price excellent service and job well done
They were great! Had roof damage from a storm and contacted them. We quickly had a quote in hand and he was over to fix it the next work day. Repair is not even noticable on the roof, looks like it never got damaged. Handled eveything on line and email. Great service and easy to work with. Would highly recommend!
We had an excellent experience with Mike. He replaced the roof on our home and also handled roofing work on our commercial property, and both jobs were done flawlessly. Mike is professional, reliable, and extremely knowledgeable. He communicated clearly throughout the process, stayed on schedule, and the quality of his work is outstanding. We couldn’t be happier with the results and would highly recommend him for both residential and commercial roofing projects.
The crew was great and very professional working through cold weather and short daylight hours! We have an old Cape-style house with lots of tricky roofing. We highly recommend this company and their employees for a job well done at a reasonable price.
