Grimes Roof & Leak Repairs

Grimes Roof & Leak Repairs lists a suite address at 18 Centre Ct in Lynnfield and presents itself as a 24-hour emergency roofing and leak-detection outfit, founded and led by Chris Grimes. Beyond emergency call-outs it advertises roof installation in asphalt, metal, membrane and slate, gutter and flashing work, and tiered maintenance subscriptions. The Google profile carries twenty-four five-star reviews, every one of them posted between September 2025 and April 2026. Read closely, several of them are not about this company at all. One thanks "Aaron from ARS" for handling storm hail damage. Another describes hiring "Isaac's" and working with a project manager named Stan Saruski. A third opens "D&L Roofers is the best!" and praises David at D&L. A fourth describes a home in Blossom Valley — a neighbourhood on the other side of the country — and a contractor called Eric. Others are built around insurance-claim roofing and hail restoration, a business model more common in storm-chasing markets than in a Lynnfield leak-repair shop, and one reads as though written by someone who works there rather than someone who hired them. Because of that, no rating is published here. There is no way to tell which, if any, of these accounts describe work this company actually did, and a five-star average built on text lifted from other firms is not evidence of anything. If you are considering them, treat the online rating as unverified. Ask for the Massachusetts Home Improvement Contractor registration number, a certificate of insurance, and the addresses of two or three recent local jobs you can look at or call about — and check those references yourself.
