Public Records Check

  • Missing License Our automated search didn't find a license on file for RB Farina Roofing Co with the Massachusetts state licensing board. That doesn't mean the company is unlicensed. A license can be held under a different business name, registered too recently for us to match, or filed in a way our search didn't catch. We recommend confirming directly with the Massachusetts state licensing board or asking the contractor for their license number.
  • Registered Corporation The Massachusetts Secretary of State listed RB Farina Roofing Co as Voluntary Dissolution when we last checked on Jul 2, 2026. You can confirm it's still current with the Massachusetts Secretary of State.
  • Business Address RB Farina Roofing Co's listed address at 1319 Mass Ave, Boston, MA 02476 appears to be a business address. This means the company operates from a real, locatable address rather than a mailbox or PO box, which can make it easier to reach them or resolve issues. Many roofers legitimately work from a home address, so this doesn't speak to the quality of their work, license, or insurance.
  • 4 Credentials RB Farina Roofing Co holds these manufacturer certifications: CertainTeed ShingleMaster Premier, Owens Corning Preferred, VELUX Certified Installer, Carlisle Authorized Applicator. These show the company met a manufacturer's program requirements and may offer manufacturer-backed warranties, but they aren't independent quality audits. You can confirm current status with the manufacturer.
  • Good Ratings Across the platforms we identified for RB Farina Roofing Co (Google, Yelp, the Better Business Bureau), the blended average is 4.4 out of 5, which we label Good. This is a plain average of public customer ratings, not a RooferWatch score. A solid average reflects past customers' experiences, not a guarantee of yours, so read the underlying reviews and weigh them yourself.

We verified 4/5 public records for RB Farina Roofing Co. The more of a company's record you can check, the more informed your hiring decision.

Reviewers report mixed experiences with RB Farina roofing. Several customers describe positive outcomes, noting responsive communication, quality workmanship, efficient scheduling, and fair pricing on projects including roof replacements, skylight installations, and gutter work. Some reviewers praise specific crew members and appreciate the use of drone inspections. However, multiple reviewers report significant problems. Several describe incomplete or improper work, including improperly installed flashing, unfilled gaps, and unaddressed rotting boards that led to leaks requiring multiple return visits. Some customers report the company was unresponsive or uncooperative after payment, with staff allegedly "ghosting" clients regarding warranty issues. Additional complaints include damaged landscaping, dented gutters, poor caulking application, and inadequate cleanup. One reviewer mentions contacting the Attorney General. A few reviewers note communication delays regarding scheduling and project timelines.

About this average rating

This figure is a straightforward average of the public ratings we’ve gathered for this company across the following review platforms that our systems have identified: Google, Yelp, the Better Business Bureau. It is not a proprietary RooferWatch score or a judgement of our own; each source is converted to a common five-star scale and blended into a single number so that no one platform’s reviews carry outsized weight, giving a more balanced read on overall sentiment. We’d still encourage you to read the underlying reviews on each platform and weigh them for yourself.

Please read the underlying reviews and do your own due diligence. If you are the business owner and believe anything here is inaccurate, submit a correction and we’ll review it promptly.
