    I contacted this Company to have an assessment for our gutter. This was yesterday October 16th 2025 and I was told by Stacey that their owner was coming today between 9/11am and that he was going to be able to go on the roof and see the state of the gutter. I sent a message in the evening and also called this early morning asking if we could have a heads up so our other unit owner could join. After I was assured that they were going to send the owner of the Company a message “right away”, the guy showed up unannounced, rushing me and very rudely saying he didn’t have time to wait for the other tenant to come in 15 minutes. He refused to even come on my last floor and look outside the window and pretended to give us an estimate based of whatever he was able to see from downstairs(4 stories!). I’ve never seen anyone so disappointing and unprofessional, besides rude. It means they don’t look for more work. Never mind!

    Terrible job, they subcontract it out, no care shown, not done cleanly tarps feel off mid job, debris everywhere, damages to siding, window, shutters, and now 1 year later notice leak from improperly installed flashing, getting nowhere they do not stand behind the 10 year workmanship warranty we have with them, we used Owens Corning shingles, and paid 30k for a mess and a leak!. Beware!!

    Wonderful people. They gave me honest assessments about my roof and options based on its current condition. I chose to go with cleaning/moss removal now but plan to go back to them in a few years to replace the roof.

    Steven and Rick did a fantastic job repairing shingles that had blown off in a storm. They helped color match, completed the repair quickly, and took care of an extra shingle that had blown into a lower roof. Highly recommend OLyn in general and Steven and Rick specifically.

    The crew that came to the house did a great job they were very polite and let us know what they were doing and when they couldn't finish it that day because it was too cold to put on the waterproofing they called us and let us know in advance when they were returning to finish the job. They did a nice neat job and cleaned up after themselves. Myself and my wife were both pleased with the work they provided.

    I RECENTLY CONTRACTED OLYN ROOFING FOR EXTENSIVE REPAIRS FOR 2 LARGE RESIDENTIAL BUILDINGS. It was my first experience working with OLYN and will not be the last. Could not have been more pleased with efficiency and quality of work. I don't write a lot of reviews, maybe I should write more. But I felt it to be important to express my opinion of OLYN.

    Many many years ago my late dad who was a licensed contractor, pointed to a O'Lyn truck while he was driving and said to me that’s a very good company. I remembered that when I needed new gutters. O’lyn did an excellent job installing my gutters. They came on time, they were professional and knew what they were doing. They also answered my questions. They cleaned up after the job was done and picked up all the nails with this gadget I found to me amazing. I highly recommend O’lyn.

A simple way to protect your MetroWest, MA home is checking your attic after a heavy late-summer shower. Look for damp rafters or dark spots on the plywood.
