M & J Contracting

Cannot say enough about this team. They’re very professional , arrived on time and completed the work in less than 2 days. Vinny was very easy to work with and all our expectations were exceeded.

Vinny at M&J Contracting was referred to me by a neighbor who had recently made renovations to his house. Vinny was very communicative and initiated calls and returned mine. The price quoted never changed despite the unexpected surprise of more layers of shingles to remove than anticipated. There was so much debris from the roof but it was all hauled away and swept clean when the job was completed. The payment arrangement was more than satisfactory. The crew was diligent and respectful and did what appears to be an excellent job. The roof looks beautiful and I am so happy every time i look at it. We've had lots of rain but no leaks have been detected so far. I trust that Vinny will take care of any issues that might arise. I enjoyed working with Vinny because of his straighforward manner and his trust in me as a customer. It goes both ways. I plan to hire M & J Contracting again for other upcoming projects.

They treated me fine, and the work was excellent. They are reliable, and they do good work.

The short of it: FANTASTIC. Everyone should have a roof experience like this.
When we purchased our house, there was no doubt we had to replace the roof. I always had a stigma that replacing a roof cost $15,000 - $20,000. What did I know - I lived in townhouses previously and never owned a real house!
I was talking to a friend about what we needed to do to our house and when I mentioned the roof, he said, and quot;I have a terrific roofer for you.and quot; He whipped out his phone to find the contact information and said: Vinnie DiClemente - 617-851-2670. Vinnie did their roof for $9000 (and they have a bigger house roof than us!) so I was thinking, awesome. I could get this roof perhaps in the $8000s!! My friend explained that they combed through Angie's list and got four quotes and Vinnie was the lowest and did a phenomenal job on their roof.
I called three different roofers on a Tuesday and Vinnie was the first one to call back (within a couple of hours). He asked for my house address and said he'd drive by to look at it and measure everything - no need for me to be there. He said that it may take him a couple of days to get back so I anticipated Thursday or Friday I'd get his number. The next day he called back and said $6,900. AMAZING. He also said how beautiful my house was which shows that he knows how to make a homeowner feel good too. : )
Within the next few days I got the other two roofers estimates: $10,100 and $8,400 (which he said he knocked down from $9000 since he was referred to me). The other estimates were from contractors with no presence on Angie's list either! The choice was simple: Mand J Contracting.
I called Vinnie the next Tuesday to tell him that I chose to go with his company. He said that I was his fourth roof to do and he anticipated he'd get it started 8 business days out, but was unsure based on the rain we were experiencing. I understood and didn't have a true sense of urgency, so that was just fine with me. He said that he'd call me on Sunday to give me a heads up on the schedule. On Saturday - the day before he said he'd call, he left me a message saying that he could do my roof that Monday and Tuesday - that's two days prior to the original start date with no rain delays!! I called him back on Sunday to confirm and it was a go on Monday.
It was to be spotty rain Monday and Tuesday, but it seemed as if it would hold up mid-morning to late afternoon - which it did. I met him at the house and he arrived with his crew of 9 ready to go. This was the first time I met Vinnie face to face and he was just as nice in person as he was on the phone. He explained what his plan would be and I left him to do their work and said I'd be back the next day to pay him the remaining amount (upon satisfaction as he says!). My husband drove by the house that night to check out the work and said that everything was left very tidy. The next day Vinnie called to let me know that they would be done in the early afternoon and that was exactly what happened.
I was running over to the house and was a bit distracted when I was writing my check to Vinnie. I handed Vinnie's nephew the check about 20 minutes before the job was to be complete to meet up with another contractor inside my house. Vinnie knocked on my door and told me that I wrote the wrong amount on the check - I accidentally wrote $200 more than I was suppose to. I didn't have my check book with me so he wrote me a check back for $200. Talk about character.
My house looks fantastic. It looked beautiful before (a major reason we bought it!), but it's like it has a new hat and the outfit is now complete. Vinnie and his crew did a fantastic job. There was never any stress working with him. No wheeling and dealing which I experienced with one of the other roofers and no overcharging. And they were all so hard working.
If you are looking to get a new roof, look no further. Mand J Contracting is it.
