DECARNEY ROOFING LLC

DeCarney Roofing works out of Beverly, MA, and the numbers are hard to ignore: 348 ratings on Google, every one of them five stars, and not a single complaint among the 35 reviews posted there in the last six months. Mario DeCarney runs the crew and shows up by name in nearly every review — reviewers describe him personally returning calls, texting updates mid-job, and walking through material choices before work starts. The recent work splits into two clear buckets. This spring, it's full roof replacements wrapped up in a single day, with several homeowners describing a strip-and-install job finished start to finish before dark. Through January and February, the pattern shifts to ice dams and snow removal — DeCarney showing up the next morning after a storm, in one case clearing a three-story roof before water made it further into the house. One reviewer flagged something less common than good workmanship: Mario inspected a roof over 15 years old and told them it didn't need repairs yet, instead of selling a job that wasn't necessary. Cleanup comes up often enough to look like a habit rather than a compliment — a magnetic broom sweeping the yard for stray nails shows up across several reviews, spring and winter alike. Smaller repairs get the same treatment: a torn ridge vent, chimney flashing squirrels had chewed through, a scattering of missing shingles, each handled within a day or two of the call. A couple of reviews land at four stars instead of five despite reading like five-star praise, with nothing in the text explaining the lower score — a minor inconsistency, not a red flag, but worth knowing it's there. DeCarney is BBB-accredited with an A+ rating, and its Massachusetts home-improvement-contractor license is active. With reviews running from 2017 through this year across six different sources, this isn't a one-source or recently-inflated rating. Worth asking about before booking: Mario appears to be hands-on with quoting and scheduling on most jobs himself, which is likely part of why the communication gets singled out so often — it's also worth confirming current lead times given how much of the process runs through him directly. For anything from a same-day shingle fix to an ice-dam emergency to a full tear-off, DeCarney is a solid call on the North Shore; get the scope and price in writing before the crew shows up.
