What does a roof replacement cost in Greater Boston?
Typical Greater Boston range for this kind of work, from regional averages — not a quote from Brown Bros Roofing. Use it to sanity-check bids, then get the real number in writing.
A square is 100 sq ft of roof surface — bigger than the floor plan because of pitch and overhangs.
Meticulous cleanup — reviewers say the site looks untouched
Competitive quotes — chosen over four or five other bids
Wider than roofing — siding, gutters, windows and trim praised too
Verified registration — state home improvement licence active
Debris left — a 2024 one-star review cites nails in the driveway
2023 siding job — a two-star review reports damage and a disputed leak
Calendar wait — a 2026 reviewer says booking takes time
Crew supervision — a 2023 reviewer noted confusion when managers were offsite
Seventy-eight Google ratings averaging 4.9, and the line that keeps recurring isn't about shingles — it's about what the crew leaves behind. "Like they were never there" turns up year after year, including in a June 2026 review.
Brown Bros works out of Dedham, and its Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration is active, verified against the state registry under Brown Bros. Roofing, Inc. Its BBB file is accredited and graded A+.
Roofs are the core, and the recurring specific is speed. A January 2025 customer wrote that the team was in and out in one day. A February 2024 reviewer described the house and garage stripped and re-roofed in a single winter day, with the gutters finished the next morning. Price lands the same way: a March 2025 homeowner collected at least five quotes and put Brown Bros in the affordable middle, and an April 2025 reviewer said theirs was the best price after an options conversation with no sales push.
The work runs wider than roofing. Reviews this spring and summer cover siding, gutters and windows, and a February 2026 customer who hired them twice for trim carpentry described clean lines and unrushed finishing.
Two accounts pull the other way, both from early 2024. That January, a one-star reviewer described nails left across the driveway and a crew that wouldn't pick them up. In February 2024, a two-star reviewer laid out a longer history: a 2014 roof, a leak the company attributed to old siding, then a 2023 siding job during which a porch glass door was shattered and a cable line cut — the reviewer says the cable company confirmed the cut — with the roof leaking again and responsibility disputed. The reviews since have stayed positive, but that account is specific and worth reading before you sign.
Two practical notes come from the reviews themselves: a February 2026 customer said getting onto the calendar takes a while, and a November 2023 reviewer described confusing start-and-stop dates and day-labor crews needing direction when the project managers were offsite.
For a fast, clean roof replacement or a siding job at a fair price south of Boston, this is a deep and well-documented record to hire from. Ask who your project manager will be, get start and finish dates in writing, and confirm what the cleanup covers.

We hired Brown Bros to remove old siding/install new and they did a fantastic job. They are responsive and easy to work with from start to finish. They did a great job with the product, pricing, and installation. Highly recommend!
Brown Bros did an excellent job putting up new siding and gutters on our house. We started getting compliments from neighbors about how good it looks on day 1 of the project.
Brown Bros is family-owned and you can tell. They take pride in their work and do it for a fair price. I received quotes from 3 different companies for this project and Brown Bros was the most affordable.
There were no pushy sales people. They were very communicative. No surprises. I will be going back to Brown Bros for any future projects on our house.
they did a quick repair of broken siding with great efficiency and the results look great!
I would highly recommend them for any siding projects you have.
I used Brown Bros for my new siding, it was a great experience. They were quick, knowlegable and very responsive through the whole job. I would work with them again for sure.
