John Hubert Roofing

John Hubert Roofing works out of Somerville, doing roof repairs, tear-offs, and new installations in shingle, slate, copper, and rubber, with carpentry and masonry as a sideline, covering Somerville, Cambridge, and Boston. The company describes itself as a decade-plus operation, and BBB records show it as a sole proprietorship dating to 2009 — now going on 17 years — carrying an A+ BBB rating despite never seeking accreditation. Its outside track record is thin and split. A profoundroofing.org write-up describes a leak repair where the contractor answered the phone right away, came out the next day ahead of a storm, and charged exactly what he'd quoted, on a roof a previous contractor had patched poorly. Set against that, other roundups paint a rougher picture: excellentcontractor.com calls the roofing work mixed, pointing to two negative reviews, and provenroofer.com attributes complaints to waiting-period issues and poor communication. Only five ratings back its 3.4-star Google page, and the reviews behind all of this go back to 2021 — not enough of a track record, recent or otherwise, to lean on heavily either way. One detail worth asking about directly: BBB's paperwork names the owner as 'Jubert Martinez,' not John Hubert, so it's worth confirming exactly who you'd be dealing with before signing anything. The 'over 10 years' claim on the company's own site (posted in 2015) also runs ahead of BBB's 2009 start date — a minor inconsistency, but one more reason to verify specifics rather than take the marketing at face value. This reads as a small, single-location outfit best suited to a straightforward roof repair rather than a large remodel. Get the scope, price, and timeline in writing, and ask directly about the waiting-period and communication complaints raised elsewhere before booking anything beyond a quick fix.
