Verified record
William Trahant Roofing is a Lynn roofing crew whose name turns up on North Shore permit records for reroofs and reshingles β building-permit records tracked by BuildZoom credit the company with 766 completed projects, the large majority of them roofing work. Its BBB profile also lists commercial snow plowing as a side line. The clearest look at the company at work comes from a 2017 local news feature: a 28-person crew stripped and reshingled a commercial building's roof over several days, the kind of scale that points to a real operation rather than a one-truck outfit. A site review separately describes a large crew arriving to put on a full new roof. Worth knowing before calling: OSHA cited the company for one willful, one repeat, and three serious fall-protection violations, and in 2017 an administrative law judge upheld those citations and the proposed fines after the company skipped its scheduled hearing. Separately, the Better Business Bureau lists the company as not accredited with a D- rating, citing two complaints it never responded to. BuildZoom shows an active Massachusetts construction supervisor specialty license and an active home improvement contractor registration for the company, alongside several older registrations now listed inactive β those are BuildZoom's own listings, not numbers checked against the state registry here. No customer reviews turned up on any platform searched, so there is no read on day-to-day satisfaction. Anyone considering William Trahant Roofing for a reroof should ask directly about the OSHA history and confirm current licensing and insurance before signing anything.
