O'Keefe Roofing

O'Keefe Roofing works out of 21 Francis St in North Reading and is hired mostly for full roof replacements on Greater Boston-area homes, along with the gutter, skylight and siding work that tends to come with them. Its Better Business Bureau profile puts the business start in April 1995, credits it with 31 years in the trade and four employees, and names Michael O'Keefe as owner; the company's own site describes residential and commercial roofing plus gutters, siding, windows and doors. The homeowners who have written about the work describe the same crew and the same owner. A 2025 reviewer had a new roof, a new skylight and gutters installed and said the crew cleaned up at the end of each day and left the place spotless, with Mike explaining what to expect daily. A 2023 account covers a bigger job — roofing new construction while re-roofing the original house, including skylights, guttering, downspouts and leaf guard — and notes the crew worked through 95-degree and 28-degree days, protected the landscaping, and that Mike was either on site or easily reachable and held to his quoted dates, times and prices. A 2024 homeowner called the pricing affordable and the job finished in a few days, faster than expected, and a repeat customer says the company has done two jobs for them. The pattern runs back further than the paid work. In a 2022 r/massachusetts thread a homeowner reported that O'Keefe came out to look at a leak and spent nearly an hour on recommendations even though he could not take the job at the time because the matching shingle was out of production. On the third-party side, Google carries a 5-star average across 13 ratings and the BBB gives an A+ grade with accreditation dating to 2010. That is a consistent record but not a deep one — thirteen ratings is a modest sample for a company of this tenure, so weigh the detailed accounts more than the average. Worth settling before you sign: the BBB profile lists four employees, so ask how the schedule works if weather pushes your job, and get the crew and start date in writing the way the 2023 customer did. The company also advertises fences, garage doors, decks and handrails alongside roofing — those are its own claims, and every reviewed job here is roofing, gutters or skylights, so ask who actually performs them. For a straightforward asphalt roof replacement with gutters or a skylight in the North Reading area, this is a small owner-run outfit with a long paper trail and consistent praise for cleanup and communication.
