Master Roofers crews are very responsive, and took the time to inspect and repair our aging roof. The excessive winter and ice presented some difficult condition, but the team work through the leaks, and plugged them all. Great work and timely response by the crew.

We are very pleased with Master Roofers. Extremely thorough inspection and we were provided with a detailed description of scope of work with photos. Work was performed yesterday. Justin and David were friendly and also very thorough, experienced and knowledgeable. They were considerate of the inside of our home. They stayed late to get some extra work done that they observed needed repair after winter storms, which we greatly appreciated. Great communication with us through the entire process. Thank you so much.

Master Roofer’s motto is “If the customer is happy, we’re happy.” I heard this several times. They clearly strive hard to achieve this goal. Master Roofers installed a new roof, replaced three skylights, replaced trim, and installed some gutters, etc., all in the extreme cold of February! The entire process was very transparent. Jim Cutter went out of his way to come to our house, listen to our needs, and prepared a proposal with several options for us to evaluate. Stephanie efficiently guided us through the online process of reviewing the contract and making our selection. Once we accepted the proposal and paid the deposit, the date for our job was set in a short amount of time. Louis, his crew, and Tim arrived on time and completed the entire job in a few days. They were extremely polite, highly skilled, and very professional. It was a pleasure to communicate with them as the job proceeded – again “If the customer is happy, we’re happy.” They did an excellent job of cleaning up and all we are left with is an amazing-looking new roof, fabulous skylights, and the peace of mind that our house is now safe from the elements for years to come.
Response from the owner:Thank you, John, for the wonderful 5-star review and for highlighting our “If the customer is happy, we’re happy” motto. We’re glad Jim, Stephanie, Louis, Tim, and the crew could provide clear options, timely service in the extreme cold, and a thorough cleanup. It’s great to hear the new roof and skylights look amazing and give you peace of mind. Please reach out anytime if you need anything else or have questions about your roof.

Master Roofers just finished our new roof and we are very happy!
Dave the Site Manager was very nice and knowledgeable. He explained things to me and answered my questions as the project progressed.
The rest of the crew worked well together and did a great job of cleaning up all the construction trash when they were done. They even blew dirt and debris that fell into my garage while cutting for the ridge vent- I appreciated that a lot. We are very happy with the work Master Roofers did and will recommend them in the future!

Master Roofers replaced 2 aging Velux skylights with beautiful, energy efficient solar Velux skylights with shades. Pat, Tim & crew were pleasant, extremely competent, & true craftsmen. They were courteous & treated our home as if it was theirs & cleaned up beautifully leaving behind a work of art. They even matched our roof shingles perfectly making us see why they are masters when it comes to roofs & skylights. Highly recommended.

Working with Nick Vincent and his follow up and attention to detail has been amazing! He responds immediately and has been great in giving us his input and expertise.

WE expect that the installation will be as seamless as it has been working with Nick so far. Will provide an update after install too!
Update Sept 2025:
Master Roofers has truly lived up to their "service after the install". Immediate response and issues quickly resolved! Use them for your roofing/skylight needs! thanks guys!

Had a great experience with Master Roofers replacing three old Andersen skylights with new Velux units. The sales person came out quickly for the estimate and sent a detailed quote the next day. Scheduling was easy, the crew showed up on time ready to work and replaced all three skylights in one day. Pat, Tim, Justin and Seiler did a fantastic job, were very polite and professional and were just a great crew to work with. Thank you for a job well done!

Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Master Roofers install copper flashing in Cambridge, MA?
Yes. Copper flashing is preferred for historic Cambridge properties due to its 50+ year lifespan and patina that suits older architectural styles. We install copper step flashing, counter flashing, valley flashing, and drip edge on Cambridge historic homes. Copper carries a significant premium over galvanized steel but essentially eliminates future flashing maintenance on properties where longevity matters.
What is the cost of roof replacement in Cambridge, MA?
Cambridge roof replacement ranges from $9,000 to $22,000 for residential properties depending on size, roof geometry, and materials. Urban access factors — tight driveway access, permit parking requirements for equipment, and neighbor proximity — are factored into every Cambridge estimate. We provide fully itemized quotes with no hidden site-condition surcharges.
Does Master Roofers work with the Cambridge Historical Commission for roofing projects?
Yes. For properties in Cambridge’s local historic districts, we prepare the required Determination of Applicability or Certificate of Appropriateness application with material specifications and visual samples as required by the commission. We have completed projects in the Old Cambridge and Mid-Cambridge historic districts and understand the typical approval timeline and documentation standards.
