Weathertite Roofing and Remodeling

Nearly every homeowner who writes about Weathertite writes about one person: James. His name runs through the Google reviews the way a foreman's does on a small job site — he came out, he looked, he explained it, he did the work. The company says it was established in 1984 by James Wareham and has served Massachusetts since, starting as a small family-operated enterprise; its BBB page puts it in Hanson with three employees and grades it A+, without accreditation. Roofing is the spine of the business. On Google it holds a 5.0 across 53 ratings, and the jobs behind those numbers are the ones that arrive uninvited: shingles off after a wind storm, a leak that has been going for years, ice working into a valley. One reviewer in May 2026 called about storm-blown shingles and had the damage surveyed within two days, then repaired days later. In a 2025 review, a homeowner who had been told by everyone else that the whole roof had to go said he came out, assessed it, walked through the options and put a repair in writing instead. The other half of the record is carpentry and remodeling. Reviewers describe deck and stair builds, a wooden patio and pool-deck in 2023, gutter installation and repair, a front entrance waterproofed with both doors replaced in 2024, bathrooms and a full kitchen renovation. Several are repeat customers who have used the company across several years and several projects, which is the kind of thing that is hard to fake. The Hanson Housing Authority's meeting minutes record a roof-replacement contract awarded to the company, so the work is not all private homes. Two things are worth raising. The BBB page carries one review that is far angrier than anything on Google — an undated account alleging the roof was torn off and the money taken, with no reply on the page. It sits alone against a long run of positive accounts, but it is severe enough to ask about directly. And this is a small outfit: three employees on the BBB listing, with the owner personally involved in nearly every job people describe. That is why the responsiveness reads so well on small repairs, and it is the thing to pressure-test if you are handing over a whole-house remodel with a deadline. Its Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration is active, under Weathertite Roofing & Remodeling, LLC. Call them for storm damage, a leak, a roof you have been told to replace, or a deck. Get the scope and payment schedule in writing before work starts, and ask what happens if the crew is pulled onto an emergency.
