Public Records Check

  • License Found We found a license number on file for O'LYN Roofing: 101297, but haven't confirmed its current status directly with the Massachusetts state licensing board. We recommend verifying it's active and in good standing with the Massachusetts state licensing board before hiring.
  • Registered Corporation The Massachusetts Secretary of State listed O'LYN Roofing as Active when we last checked on Jun 19, 2026. You can confirm it's still current with the Massachusetts Secretary of State.
  • Business Address O'LYN Roofing's listed address at 916 Pleasant St #4, Boston, MA 02062 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.
  • 3 Credentials O'LYN Roofing holds these manufacturer certifications: Owens Corning Platinum Preferred, VELUX Certified Installer, NRCA Membership - member since 1999. 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 O'LYN Roofing (Google, Yelp, the Better Business Bureau, Owens Corning), 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 5/5 public records for O'LYN Roofing. The more of a company's record you can check, the more informed your hiring decision.

About this review summary

This summary was automatically generated from customer reviews that were publicly visible at the time it was created on one or more of the review aggregators listed below. It does not constitute a review, rating, endorsement, or statement of fact about the business - it reflects only the opinions expressed by those reviewers as found at that time, not the views or conclusions of RooferWatch. Automated summaries can contain errors or omit context and may become outdated as new reviews are posted, so please read the original reviews through the links provided and do your own due diligence.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.
  • Avg. Rating 4.4
  • BBB A+
  • Google 4.8
  • Yelp 2.8
  • Owens Corning 4.8

Several reviewers praise O'Lyn's work quality, responsiveness, and efficiency. One customer reports the team completed a roof replacement in one week instead of the quoted 4-5 weeks, with thorough cleanup and professional supervision. Another describes the quote process as straightforward compared to competitors. A repeat customer notes improved service over 23 years. However, multiple reviewers report significant issues. Some customers describe problems with leak repairs, citing improper flashing installation and unresponsive communication from management. One reviewer reports a $5,000 skylight replacement proposal without addressing underlying installation issues. Another criticizes roof cleaning costs at $950 per hour and poor callback responsiveness from sales staff. Additional complaints include subcontractor use despite claims otherwise, tarps blowing off during work, debris left on property, and final invoices exceeding estimates by 20% with undisclosed charges. Several reviewers report difficulty obtaining warranty coverage and unresolved communication with ownership regarding defects.

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, Owens Corning. 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.
