Doherty Roofing repaired our slate roof, which had accumulated a good number of missing and cracked tiles over several years, with some consequent leaking. Jason and his team were attentive to the problems and clear about this approach and schedule. The work appears to have been done well. Clean-up of the work area was good. Communication about estimate, timing, and follow-up were excellent. Good work at a fair price.

Outstanding work, outstanding service. Installed new fascia boards, copper gutters, and snow guards. Jason is the best. It's just him (25+ years of experience) and his crew. No hard sell, tries to save you money but ensure you're doing what's best for your roof. Attention to detail. Walked us through an explanation. Described what was going on as he was doing the work. Quality craftwork, honest, responsive. Recommend as highly as possible.

Jason is a true craftsman that provides high quality slate and copper repairs/restorations for an affordable price. He explained exactly what he was going to do before he started our slate roof repairs and reviewed all the details with us. I have noticed that several of my neighbors have also used his services since completing our roof. I would most certainly use Jason again on my next roof repairs.Service: Roof repair

Sending top marks for Doherty Slate Roofing. We'd had a polite but uneven experience with another slate roofing company, where we experienced leaks shortly after our roof had been maintained.Jason from Doherty came by to assess, and spent a solid, unrushed amount of time to inspect the situation, interpret what could be causing the leaks, and reflect on a proposed scope of work--both on the cost and necessity of certain measures--by the other company. He was gracious, helpful, and was clearly offering expert opinions and not upsell or edge out the other group.In the end, his workers completed fresh work to maintain and fix parts of our roof--which included finding and repairing some obvious issues missed by the other group--and we experienced zero leaks in the exceptionally heavy rains from earlier this week. At the same time, many of neighbors reported some leaks from the same storm, whether their houses were "leaky" ones or not.Can't offer a stronger recommendation.

Jason came out to access the job the same week I contacted Doherty Slate . He reviewed and explained the issues he felt were of concern and others that I should consider. All great and NOT pushy overselling. I needed some time before committing but when when i was ready they got me on their list immediately. Liz was great about reaching out to keep me updates as my job got closer. They arrived as expected and completed the job quickly. They kept teh job site clean and safe and kept me updated as they progressed . After the job they checked back to ensure there were no questions or issues ( which is great because sometimes thing look fine of day 1 but are seen further down the line). Not the case with me , all was grand and we were very happy with the work performed . Reasonable rates as well.Services: Roof repair for storm & wind damage, Roof damage repair

I have a slate roof and rubber roof and had difficulty in finding someone who could do a proper inspection with repairs. I stumbled upon Doherty Slate Roofing in Swampscott, MA. Several houses have slate roof in our town. I have to say, he did an excellent job in repairing my rubber roof as well as the slate roof which had missing slates and broken slates. He also repaired the boston Saddle hips and the flat copper roof. I am excited to write this review as we need people like Doherty who can give us an honest advice as well as understanding this unique roof for repairs.I ready for the winter and not worry about leaks and ice damage for mthe missing slates.

Jason and his crew sre very good and clearly dedicated to the craft. let me tell you, it isn't easy finding a really good slate roofer, but these guys are so dedicated to their craft. Jason was very forth coming with the project before we started and during the project. He would always fill me in and show me pictures of the problem areas and explained how he did things. Hands down going to give them all my slate work moving forward.

Can’t say enough good things about Doherty Roofing. In a trade full of fly by night contractors whose only tool is a phone, because they sub all their jobs out to random pick up crews, Jason is a highly skilled, experienced pro who gives your roof his personal attention to ensure that the job is done properly.Jason is responsive, listens and explains, has integrity (he says what he is going to do and does what he says), is knowledgeable, and is a good dude!Jason replaced my roof, gutters and installed skylights. Every time I walk by my house I take pleasure in the fact that it looks so good now.The previous owner of my house had a cricket installed against the chimney in an attempt to prevent water infiltration. When Jason replaced my roof he removed the cricket. I asked him, don’t I need that cricket? He said, no I flashed your chimney properly and it won’t be a problem. He sure was right.Doherty Roofing is exactly the kind of contractor you want working on your house!Services: Roof repair for storm & wind damage, Gutter installation, Attic venting, Skylight installation, Roof installation

Because slate maintain its composition for decades and the material is durable, long lasting, and beautiful, having a slate roof can increase your home's value. However, maintenance can be trying, since skilled craftsmen in this trade is few and far between. We were extremely happy with Doherty Slate Roofing's expertise and Jason's knowledge of his craft and material. His pricing was fair and his services prompt and professional. In addition to matching / replacing slate tile he also repaired a leak on a section of rubber roof, and fixed tiles around a skylight.Service: Roof repair

Jason has taken care of our large and old slate roof for over a decade. He fixed many a problem, especially with leaky skylights. Jason is the very best! Completely reliable, he has a sixth sense for finding the hidden weaknesses. What he fixes, lasts forever. Fairly priced. I enthusiastically recommended Jason, especially for complex work.Services: Gutter repairs, Roof repair, Roof installation
