McGilley Roofing & Construction Inc.

According to the company's own history, its owner spent 14 years in the roofing and siding trade before founding McGilley Roofing & Construction in Saugus in 2004. The shop now covers roofing, siding, and gutter work for homeowners and businesses across more than a dozen North Shore towns, including Revere, Melrose, Wakefield, Lynnfield, Stoneham, and Peabody. The reviews stretch back to 2015, 54 of them across six sites, and the last six months kept up the same pattern: four five-star ratings, none negative. What repeats isn't one big job but a handful of small, consistent details. A May review describes cracked siding pieces replaced and loose ones re-secured. Two from February: one thanks the crew for a fast response clearing snow off a roof, the other calls the job site "very clean... throughout the project." A January review says the owner was on site from start to finish and left the work area very clean when the crew wrapped up. That pattern holds across the longer history too. Google rates them 4.9 from 53 ratings, Angi shows 5.0 from 5, and BBB gives an A+ letter grade. They're GAF Certified, which puts their installs under GAF's System Plus warranty, and they've had a Blue Book listing since 2009. Two things worth asking about before signing anything: BBB's A+ grade comes without the business being formally BBB Accredited, and one Angi reviewer said a final invoice and warranty paperwork never arrived after the job was finished — worth pinning down when you'll get both in hand. For a roof replacement or repair with siding and gutters folded into the same job, this is a shop with a long, largely clean paper trail and an active Massachusetts Home Improvement Contractor license (215703) behind it. Get the invoice and warranty terms in writing before the crew leaves, and the rest of the history checks out.
