Quality Roofing By Larry

Our home inspection report said that we needed to get the roof repaired or addressed. Larry came himself and said the roof is in great shape and to call him in 5 – 7 years. I am grateful that there are still people around with this level of integrity so that I can be confident that my roof is in fair shape and not always be worrying about it.

I had a great experience with Larry. He picked up the phone right away and came to my house for an estimate on the same day. His crew came and did a great job on the project. The pricing was extremely fair.
The best thing about Larry is that you can trust him. He does what he says he is going to do, and he doesn’t inflate his pricing. What you see is what you get.
I highly recommend him.

During the winter, a few drops of water got through at one of the flashings on our roof. I was convinced that we have to fix it, and since the house and the roof was 17 years old, I was thinking that it may be better to just replace the roof. I called a number of companies, described the problem, and they really all wanted replace the entire roof. Larry arrived, had a look at our roof, and right away determined that it should be good for another 13 years, since it is still in good shape, and it is unlikely that we will have again such a bad winter. No other company was nearly as honest, they all wanted me to replace the roof. I am very grateful to Larry for his honest opinion. I am a bit still worried that we may get some water in, but there was really no noticeable damage last winter, and I trust his opinion. Thank you, Larry!

My husband and I reached out to Larry and his assistant Garrett for Dormers, Roofing and Siding. Garrett was able to come to our house very quickly and told us it would be 2 weeks for a quote. After 2 ½ MONTHS of sending email after email to them and phone calls as well… they have made up a handful of excuses why they have not been able to get us a quote and then tell us they will send it shortly and here we are 2 ½ months later. NO QUOTE. NO BUSINESS. We have thousands and thousands of dollars worth of renovations that they clearly do not want.

Such a disappointing experience!
On three separate days I spoke with Larry. Each time he promised to send a crew to look at our roof. Each time, they failed to show up. Each time, Larry failed to call me to explain why. Reading the other reviews, his team sounds like they are capable of good work. It would have been nice to have the opportunity to see some of that… or for Larry to at least have the courtesy to refer me elsewhere, instead of making three separate commitments that were not kept.

As the President of Flax Pond Condominiums in Lynn MA, I was asked to find someone to replace the rubber roofs on all three of our buildings. We interviews 4 different companies and in the end we hired Quality Roofing & Solar by Larry.
What a great company to work with. Larry was very helpful and knowledgeable from the beginning. Of the all the contractors that we interviewed Larry was the only one that told us that only one of our buildings needed to be replaced at this time. The other 2 would last at least another 5 to 10 years with just a little bit of maintenance.
We next invited Larry to meet with our 7 member condo board. During the rather lengthy meeting he answered all our questions and won our confidence. Larry’s bid was not the lowest but it was in the middle and we felt it was quite fair considering all the things he was going to do. Unanimously we chose Larry to do our project.
The day before the project all the materials and the dumpster arrived and the permit was posted on the building. The following day the crew arrived early and even though the weather that week was extremely hot, they completed the roof as promised, in just a few days.
Our grounds were left clean and the dumpster was collected 1 day after the job was done.
We definitely recommend Quality Roofing.

It was a pleasure working with Larry and his team. Larry was professional and informative. His team were very helpful and went the extra mile to get the job done right. The clean up was perfect too. I would highly recommend Larry.

We selected Quality Roofing to replace our roof. The crew arrived early in the morning on the day they were scheduled to start the job and got right to work. Stripped, replaced roofing, cut in a new ridge vent, and completed the job by early evening. They came back within a few days to complete the flashing around the chimney. The yard was cleaned up when they left. The roof looks good, and no leaks or issues to date. I am satisfied with the work and would recommend Quality Roofing to my friends.

Great experience with Larry and crew and Quality Roofing, job performed in ⁹⁄₁₄. Foreman was knowledgeable, easy to interface with and directed crew well. Larry was very responsive by phone and email throughout bid, job, and post-​work phases — extremely customer focused. Fair and transparent pricing. Have and would recommend to others.

After getting many bids to replace the roof of our home in Malden, we decided to go with Larry Hildebrand and his team. Not only was his price competitive, but he and his staff are all highly qualified at the GAF Factory Certified Master Elite level*. Additionally, his company is accredited through the better business bureau. These credentials gave us peace of mind that our roof would be installed properly and would protect our home. We also knew that because of these credentialing agencies that if, per chance, the roof did fail, the problem would get remedied.
Further, Larry and all of his team were highly professional. Larry scheduled around our needs, his team was respectful of our property, neighbors, and tenants, they arrived when they said they would, finished when they said they would, and completed what the contract said they would complete. Also, Larry handled getting a permit and managed professionally the tricky situation of where to put the dumpster/​how to handle the waste given our tight urban street and lack of driveway.
In all, we are highly satisfied with the job and for our next property, we will not even shop around — we will go straight to Larry.
Now I’m off to check GoogleMaps to see if I can see an aerial view of our new roof!

I contacted Larry after seeing my neighbor getting their new roof put on. He showed up to my house very quickly. My husband and I didn’t need to get other proposals, due to his professionalism and knowledge of different roof options. It only took them a day to do the roof on our two family house. His crew were professional and cleaned up after the job. I would highly recommend Larry and his crew to family and friends.

Larry came the next day after I called him. He was polite, professional and fixed my problem with drip edge that another contractor roofer had put on wrong. He was the only one who helped me. The roofer who did my roof in ⁹⁄₁₄ kept saying he’d come back but never did. Then I contacted another roofer who said he’d come and after 5 weeks of waiting and that 2^nd one not responding, I called Larry. He’s the only one who got up on a ladder to see what the problem was and then it was a quick fix. He didn’t even charge me. He was so very helpful I can’t even begin to thank him. The aggravation Ive had with 2 other roofers since 9/​14, now its ¹¹⁄₁₄ and finally I called the right person, Larry.

Larry’s crew are probably the most obnoxious group of men I have ever encountered. When they arrived I told them to please be as careful as possible of the gardens around my house. I knew some damage would be inevitable, but asked them to try to avoid the bushes where ever possible. Within five minutes one worker had planted a ladder right in the middle of a rose bush, even though there was about four feet on either side completely clear. I asked him to please move his ladder and he laughed and rolled his eyes at me. He wouldn’t move it until I got the foreman involved.
I have an elderly couple who live quite close to me and they are very nice people, but particular about their yard. I had told Larry when he came by for his initial estimate that under no circumstances was any debris to end up in their yard and he told me that it wouldn’t be an issue. About midday I received a call from my neighbor in tears. It seems that some of Larry’s crew had actually climbed over my neighbor’s fence and were in her yard. She told them to leave and not to come back. The crew then called the police on my neighbor and lied that she was harassing them. I had to come home from work to deal with the situation. When I arrived I found roofing nails and shingles all over my neighbor’s yard. While I was apologizing to her, another member of Larry’s crew jumped over her fence and came into her yard.
I went to find the foreman to ask why he had called the cops on my neighbor. He replied that she was yelling at his men for no reason. I told him that his men were trespassing on my neighbor’s property and throwing trash in her gardens. He then told me that he didn’t care what his guys were doing, she should «shut her mouth.»
Larry at this point had disappeared and would not reply to voice mails. For the rest of the day I had to stand guard at my property line to make sure none of the crew went into my neighbor’s yard or threw trash over her fence. Every time they passed me I got a smirk or some comment in Portugese that I’m pretty sure was not complimentary. Later in the day I saw one of them go behind a rhododendron in the back so he could urinate. I didn’t even have the energy to object.
At the end of the day, I went to the front of the house to inspect the work. I live in an Arts & Crafts house that has a lot of decorative 100+year old woodwork around the windows. Larry’s crew had ripped out all this woodwork on the dormers, and above the front and back porch roofs so that they could install metal flashing. To fill in the gaps they had made, they nailed plain pieces of wood to the bottom of the windows. So now the tops of the windows didn’t match the bottom and there was still a gap of around four inches above the porch roofs where the silver metal was clearly visible.
Larry magically appeared at the end of the day to collect the rest of the payment. When I told him how his group had called the police on my neighbor when she objected to their trespassing he was, to his credit, apologetic. We then went on a damage tour around my house. Bushes had been flattened to the ground, nails and shingles were all over the driveway and grass, and three sections of my flagstone patio had been smashed. Larry offered me a $ 100 rebate to cover the damage. After a lot of back and forth, I finally got him up to $ 500. The carpenter ended up charging me over $ 1000 to repair the window frames and dormers, and I had to spend a few hundred dollars to fix the patio and replace the bushes.
To add insult to injury, it took them days to remove their dumpster from my driveway. I got three estimates for this job, and Larry’s was the cheapest by far. That should have been a warning.

Larry and Quality Roofing was the best experience I have ever had with a home contractor. We signed the contract for a new roof on a Monday. On Wednesday I had a permit on my front door. On Friday a dumpster and shingles were delivered. Saturday Larry, s crew showed up around 7:15. The crew stripped two layers of old shingles plywood replaced bad sections. The roof and garage were edged with aluminum and weather guard. Gaf architechural shingles were placed perfectly. Cleanup with rakes and magnet roller was done by 7PM. My new roof looks better than I could imagine and definitely added value to my home. I highly recommend Quality Roofing. The price was also very competitive.

We needed a new roof. Wanted someone who was GAF Master Elite certified, and of course wanted the job done well and done quickly, and yes, done at the best price. We got the whole package when we hired Larry and his guys. Larry was prompt, professional, courteous and easy to deal with. The roof looks great and we are 100% pleased. I highly recommend Quality Roofing by Larry.

I would like to recommend Quality Roofing to anyone who wants a roof replaced quickly and done right. The workers were professional and were very careful doing a job that posed some problems, namely abutting neighbors property. They cleaned up after themselves, leaving nothing behind but a great looking garage roof. The price was right, they did everything extra that I asked for at no extra charge. My thanks to everyone, especially Victor, Garrett and of course Larry.
sincerely, Lenny from Everett, Ma.

We found a small hole in our rubber membrane roof. I called up Larry and he sent over Luis the next day. Luis fixed up our roof. Quick service and a great price and the roof was well repaired.

Over the holidays, we had a leaking house from ice on our roof. I found this review of Larry on Unilocal and called him. What a great guy. He had his crew out right after the storm was over and they had the problem in hand. Larry is very nice to deal with and his guys do quality work. Highly recommended.
