Visocchi Roofing Company

Visocchi Roofing works out of Waltham, and the calls that define it are the ones nobody wants to make in the middle of a February storm — an ice dam backing water into a ceiling, a leak that shows up overnight. The company says it grew out of Visocchi Construction, started by Bruno Visocchi in 1982, and that his son Chris built the standalone roofing business in 2010. Chris still runs it as a family operation, and the company lists Waltham, Boston, and towns across Greater Boston and Metrowest — Arlington, Cambridge, Newton, and Sudbury among them — as its service area, alongside roof replacement, repair, and gutter work. The clearest number here is 51 Google ratings averaging 5.0, and that pattern holds across 41 reviews gathered from 2022 through this year over five different sources, with 21 of them landing in just the last six months and none negative. The specifics from this year repeat a theme: homeowners hit by ice dams describe Chris and his crew clearing the ice the same day or within a couple of hours of the first call, sometimes checking back a day later to confirm the leak had actually stopped. A spring reroof of an 1895 Victorian in Newton — steep valleys and all — was in and out in two days, with reviewers crediting the strip and cleanup specifically. Several others mention Chris personally showing up to walk through the job and staying involved while the crew worked, rather than handing it off entirely. A couple of things are worth flagging before calling. Visocchi carries a BBB A+ letter grade and 21 years of BBB-tracked history, but BBB's own page notes it is not an accredited business — a real distinction even though the grade looks reassuring on its face. Separately, an identical customer quote about being fast, fair-priced, and easy to deal with turns up word-for-word on two unrelated roofing-content websites, which reads like shared or syndicated marketing copy rather than two independent testimonials — worth setting aside rather than counting as extra corroboration. For a straightforward reroof, a leak repair, or an emergency ice-dam call anywhere from Waltham out through Newton, Cambridge, or the rest of Metrowest, the review history backs up putting them on the call list — especially in winter. Get a written scope and schedule before work starts, and confirm licensing and insurance directly rather than through the company's own marketing, since neither turned up independently in the sources checked here.
