Willard Roofing

Willard Roofing is based in Dedham and says it has operated since 1873 as a family-owned, five-generation company. The company describes residential and commercial roofing as its core work, including installation, repair, inspections, gutters, ice-dam response, emergency work, and exterior carpentry; Parker M. Willard Jr. is identified as the fifth-generation general manager. Customers have hired Willard for roof installations and repairs, gutter work, ice-dam response, and related exterior work. Across Google, Angi, HomeAdvisor, and BuildZoom, the cited reviews include specific praise for roof workmanship, responsiveness, scheduling, communication, cleanup, and follow-through. The written history reaches from 2016 through 2026, with 43 reviews across nine sources; the 4.6 Google rating from 16 ratings and 4.9 Angi/HomeAdvisor ratings from 141 ratings are useful context, but the written accounts are dated rather than all current. There are also specific points to discuss before booking. A June 2022 Google review called a $5,225 gutter-and-downspout quote ridiculous. A 2018 Angi review described a delay in getting a tarp over an active roof leak before the work began, although the reviewer said the work itself was completed quickly once started. The company states that licensing and registration are self-reported on directory pages, including Massachusetts HIC registration #106642 and construction supervisor license #085926. They are a plausible fit for homeowners seeking established roofing and gutter expertise in Dedham and nearby Boston-area towns. Before signing, confirm the exact scope, emergency response timing, cleanup expectations, warranty terms, and current license status; the company lists Brookline, Chestnut Hill, Dedham, Dover, Milton, Needham, Newton, Wellesley, Weston, and Westwood as service areas.
