Benedictus Contracting

Peter put a roof on for us. it has been pouring water inside our kitchen… he was dishonest, very poor communication… NEVER EVER USE THIS BUSINESS… Would not come fix the problem or advise us on HOW to fix the problem… The the money… then hung up on us! Very unprofessional. Don’t hire…

I have been a personal friend of Pete since we served in the Army together in the mid 90’s. As a character referral, Pete is a dependable and reliable professional. He always had realistic goals and if he is as good of a contractor as he was a brother in arms, I wouldn’t hesitate to pick up the phone for all of my roofing needs.

Pete was very friendly and helped us out with a roofing problem,. He got most of that work done, though it turned out to be a more expensive job than he originally estimated.
Pete had also agreed to re-​install a hand rail on some concrete stairs. He had trouble with that. He took the brass handrail away, and for months he kept saying he would come back to fix it, but did not show up on any of the days he said he would come. I have been polite and patient for more than a year, just asking to get the hand rail back so someone else can fix it. But Pete stopped returning my calls, and he hasn’t returned the brass hand rail he took away. I am very disappointed.

Very competitive pricing. Easy to schedule. Stayed in contact the entire time.
Pete was able to replace my roof (two types of materials, asphalt shingles and TPO) within a few weeks of me calling him for a estimate. In addition Pete also installed two skylights (one very large electric operating skylight, which other roofing contractors didn’t want or know how to install). The work was completed in one day. Pete and his crew were friendly and they were considerate of our neighbors.
I really appreciated how communicative Pete was and the fact that he utilized e-​mail and text messaging, as well as, traditional phone for communicating with me. He let me know when he ordered the skylights, when he was coming out for the estimate, updates on pricing for the skylights, etc. He actually did research into the skylight pricing and got us the best possible price.
I work within the architectural/​engineering/​construction field so I knew what I wanted and what would work. Other contractors told me the work would take 2 – 3 days, that the skylight I wanted didn’t exist (it obviously did), that certain roofing material would be okay on my low-​sloped roof (shingles would not work), or were very expensive.
Pete got the job done for the price I was looking for. If, in the future I need any roofing work done, I definitely will call Pete. In addition, I would recommend him to anyone who also needed roofing work done.

I needed the roof checked out before buying a home, and Pete Benedictus provided a fast, clear, reasonable estimate. How fast? I called after breakfast, Pete visited the property in the afternoon, and I had his written estimate by dinner, followed by a call with more details.
While I found Pete to be prompt, forthright, friendly and knowledgeable, I can’t review his results — yet. That will change, though, if the sale goes through.

These guys just replaced the asphault roof on my house at the end of last year… excellent job, excellent price, and completed on schedule. They even were knowledgeable of tax credits available to me for using energy efficient products (saved me $ 1,000 on the job). I had two other companies look at the job and neither mentioned a word about that.
They also replaced a garage my rubber garage roof and gutter about 3 years back and I’ve had no issues.
I have recommended them countless times and had nothing but positive feedback from friends or clients on jobs well done.
Also, as a tech savvy person who is always connected, I really appreciate being able to email and text with a contractor because most of them are stuck in the dark ages. I found communication easy and got quick responses every time no matter how I contacted the owner.
After a few bad experiences with other roofers I really appreciate the professionalism and quality that Benedictus brings to a job. I will never use another roofer. Thanks guys for being the exception to the rule when it comes to contractors!

I called about three times and left messages, and never got a call back… I know it’s busy for roofers cause of the rain, but at least call back and say so…

Pete really came through for me when I needed a quick response on a roofing situation. He was able to squeeze me in around an existing job and got me what I needed on time and with the greatest positive attitude.
I look forward to further utilizing his services in the future.

I knew when I bought my house it would need a new roof in the next two years. That was five years ago! After doing some research I decided that I wanted to use something other than the asphalt shingles that you see on every house, shed, doghouse, etc. I grew up in NH, and I’m more accustomed to seeing metal roofing, since it handles temperature extremes and abuse much better. While an asphalt roof may last at most thirty years, nobody knows how long a metal roof lasts… since none have worn out yet.
However, when I went to quote the job last year, no roofers wanted to touch it. Nobody sells metal roofing here. Newton Roofers went through the motions of giving me a quote with rubber ‘slate’ shingles, but it was clear that they wanted to sell me an asphalt roof, since they gave me a quote for each way and it was more than 2x. When I tried to get some clarification on the quote, they just didn’t respond. Snow fell, and I shelved the project.
This year, I started earlier, and tried again to find someone who would put up anything instead of asphalt. From three contractors who were supposed to quote, I got a no-​bid, a no-​show, and Pete, who showed up on time with a ladder.
From the start he was knowledgable, professional, and he listened. I can’t emphasize this enough– he actually wanted to know what I cared about and how the job needed to get done. When I told him I didn’t want asphalt, after he asked a few questions about why, he asked if I’d considered metal roofing. I told him I’d given up on that option, after endless calling around searching for someone who installs it.
Nobody supplies it down here, so nobody knows how to install it; it’s a Catch-​22. Luckily, he’s had ten years of metal roof experience in the Northwest, and after taking some measurements, he went to work. After submitting me the job proposal and getting clearance to proceed, he called the manufacturers and had the materials shipped here from Pennsylvania. When it arrived, he was here to receive it. He and his crew stripped the roof, weatherproofed it and installed the roofing in a week, and when they had shorted him a piece of trim, rather than just knocking something out, he had the supplier make it right.
The job came in at the quoted price, and I’m completely satisfied. The roof looks fantastic.
There are lots of roofing contractors out there; make sure you know what you’re buying. Is the person quoting the job the person that’s doing the job? Are they listening to you, or just waiting for you to stop talking? Do they care if they piss off your neighbors? How much experience do they have? Do they provide you with adequate paperwork? Do they agree to clean up afterward?
I had a fantastic experience with Pete; I’d recommend him to anyone in a heartbeat. Although I got an oddball order (a metal roof in MA), I know from talking to him that he has plenty of experience installing asphalt shingles, rubber roll roofing, etc… and more importantly, he has the sort of attitude and professionalism that guarantees a positive result.
