Sadly, I have to say that I cannot recommend Bay State Home Services. When they were installing my roof, I noticed that the gutter guards were missed going from the original paperwork to the official one. I texted them and they remembered agreeing to the gutters and said that they would do them. Nearly 3 months and over 13 calls later, they've just stopped picking up the phone or responding to any texts. read more

I called and they came out at 4:30 pm Left at 6 shoveled off my roof which had over a foot of snow. Very polite and did an amazing job. Highly recommend. read more

Sal was a smooth talker and gave me a good price to do my roof. After taking my deposit weeks went by, he made excuse after excuse for not being able to get started. There were times when he didn't realize who he was talking to and I got the impression there were many on the hook that he had scammed. He lied about permit issues so I went to city hall, he never applied. He finally bailed on the project. I've been chasing after my deposit for weeks as he came up with new excuses for not delivering. I'm a senior and cannot afford to loose that money. Never work with this guy or Baystate! read more

Customer relations, honest good work. They take your money and run off. They don't provide good work very sloppy and they leave all their trash behind. read more

My parents used Bay State for removal of black mold in their basement. They had one young man come to do the entire job. We are still waiting for them to take away the pile of removed pieces of basement from our backyard. And although they said they would email a 3 year guarantee certificate, we are still waiting. We should have held off half of the payment until they actually completed the job. I do not recommend using their services. read more

My wife and I had to check on the siding every day. We went out and saw a side that was not straight so we asked for it to be removed and reinstalled which the workers did. The back was done horrible and again asked the siding to be removed and reinstalled correctly. That was 4 years ago. Then Sal charged us $1000 more than the contract because we asked not to install 2 bathroom windows. He said if we didn't pay he would put a lien on the house. Recently we wanted to have the storm windows in the front replaced BUT the screws for the storm windows are covered by the vynal siding. I called Sal twice last week asking for a reply, as of yet there has been not reply back to me. I downloaded pictures of 3 windows but there are 6 windows in total. The work was done 4 years ago but didn't notice their error until now. read more

They came and quoted us $35,000 for an asbestos shingle and residing job. I asked multiple times about their qualifications to do it, and they said that they had done it before and would work with a company to have it done according to code. They took our deposit and then waited months. They clearly didn't purchase the materials at the time, because they then started trying to renegotiate as time came closer. They told us that they would start the last week of July 2022 and said we needed to be out of the house. We planned a vacation for a week. As we are coming back, they call to tell us that they didn't do anything and would be there the next week. So we scrambled to find a place to stay for another week. This pattern repeated for a month. Finally, they say that they are ready to start. They finally came, so again, we left town. Before they would start they wanted the second of three payments. We are driving back and I get a call from Environmental Protection because they have been informed that they have been called because the team that was taking off the asbestos was not doing it correctly. Come to find out, NO they did not bring in an asbestos removal company, nor did they file any of the permits. Enviormental protection shut down the site after testing, because they had contaminated the surrounding area with asbestos. We have two small children who would have been playing in that if it hadn't been caught. At first, they took full responsibility, then the state said they were going after them and BSE decided that they shouldn't have to pay for the cleanup of their mess. So they just stopped responding to everyone, including the DEP. I had to sign a contract with the environmental clean-up company that I would pay if BSE didn't. At this point, we have been out of our house for 3 months. BSE left us with the bill and the environmental clean-up company is still hounding us to finish paying them. We were paying for a lot of hotels because our larger family only had so much availability and the DEP still had our house as a hazard zone. At this point, we had paid BSE $23k, had promised to pay $12k for the cleanup, spent atleast $10k in out-of-house accomidation, and we still couldn't move home, let alone have siding . BSE left our house in a state that was not weather-resistant. We were lucky because there were old, broken, wooden shingles underneath so it was not completely at the mercy of the elements. But as you can see in some of the photos they uncovered holes into the house and left it that way with no cover. Now we had to find a new contractor and start the process all over again. As almost 10 months had gone by, and this was during the height of the supply-chain issues, the price for the same siding had shot way up. Now we had to take out a $29k loan to actually get siding on the house. We are currently in legal proceedings against them, but they ACTUALLY are based in NH our attorney thinks we will only get $10K back from the construction fraud fund. All of which we will have to use to pay off the clean-up company. Also when our attorney was trying to serve papers, he found out that their listed residence is fraudulent. They put the address of someone else in their town so that legal papers can't be served. Thankfully, the person has gotten sick of all of the legal papers being delivered to their house, they now call all attorneys and give them the correct address. I honestly don't know how much more despicable these people could be. In the end, I am glad that they didn't put the siding on, because the folks that we did have do it did a great job, which from the other reviews, BSE doesn't do. I wish we had just gone with Rhinoside from the beginning. David, the owner, was amazing. At one point, he even had some of his folks pull down and replace a WHOLE wall of siding because he wasn't satisfied, and he did it on Rhinoside's own dime. I wouldn't have known there was a problem for years most likely. Dave from Rhinoside even offered to install a new sliding glass door that BSE broke. He and two guys worked for hours to install it correctly and only charged $100 for labor. He even had me buy the door directly from the supplier to save money. Rhinoside is the hero here. read more

Nick Salvatore came out to give me an estimate on installing siding, I gave him a $7000 deposit on April 5, 24, he said the work would be done in 5-6 weeks, bay state has never come to do the work, I have asked for my deposit back but after 5 months, I don't have my $7000 or the siding. I would not recommend this company if you don't want to be scammed by bay state exteriors. read more

Sal is a great person to work with. He and his crew finished my roof in 2 days and it looks gorgeous. His pricing was very competitive and he was on-time and took great care of our house and personal items outside. When they left everything was cleaned up and looked just as it did before he started. -Hollie (North Andover) read more

I wrote a review on BayState Extrriors and I wasn't kind. I would like to amend my review the repairs to my home were made and it looks beautiful again. I forgot that this company has people that work hard and yes things get sidetracked. I would use this company again without hesitation read more

Would give zero stars if possible. Absolutely awful experience. Nicholas was supposed to come by and inspect mold in my home yesterday at 3 p.m. He lets me know that he cannot make it, well past 3, and says he will be coming later in the evening. Again, well past when I expected him, no word. I called twice, and was not able to get ahold of him. Finally, I am informed he will not be making it and will be coming today from 5:30 to 6. Here I am, still waiting, and have not heard a single word from Nicholas or Bay State. Would never give this company your business or time. Lack of communication and an obvious disrespect for their clients' time. read more

Update on Bay State Exteriors inferior siding job under the management of Joe Salvatore. My 86 year old mother's house now has the flashing they "installed" while "installing" siding is now flapping in the wind causing her great distress as she has Alzheimer's. I'm still getting emails from people he has scammed. Don't let this happen to you. read more

They deserve a zero rating and all the people involved with them from the designer/cabinet (Fitzgerald Stone & More, Inc.) carpenters,electrician,plumber and especially the person in charge of it all, he was the worst - they lied, replace products that were not approved the whole crew were in on the scam..year later whole floor had to be replaced...it was coming up..truly mean people, who do not care, just looking to make a buck and to hell with the customers. read more

UPDATE: the offer to resolve this is a scam. I called and texted Sal countless times and he ignored me. And he even avoided service of a demand letter. Scam artists all around. The original review notes that they charged me $3500 for "mold removal" when there was no mold. They ripped up ceiling tile and then never came back to fix it. You know how much our new contractor charges to fix it and install a filter? $860. Bay State = scam. read more

I have contacted Sal (Joel) nothing resolved funny you should put this in your respond

Give us our $400 deposit back, thieves!!! I wish I could leave a less than 1 star review - this company has stolen our money! We gave a deposit of $400 in November 2018 for a small repair to our chimney flashing. They NEVER showed up to do the work even after repeatedly contacting them - their favorite excuse was "The weather was bad, we will come next week." Next week still hasn't happened in 9 months. We had the work done by someone else, we contacted the company over and over - even having them agree to refund the $400 - expect they never did - and we reached out to the BBB but the company is ignoring us even on that front. RETURN OUR MONEY!!! read more

Great Service! Extremely charismatic staff that's helped with every step. I recommend this service to all of my friends. Great offers and competitive prices. Well worth the money. I will be returning for any roof service I need in the future. read more

I hire Bay State Exterior to do my Siding unfortunately I had Nicholas Salvatore who was very nice @ the beginning but all he cares about was getting his money not the customer's satisfaction. They were 5 weeks late from the day they should started without calling to let me know. When I called him he told me they are waiting for more supply. Everything was doing well the crew was nice & fast. I made a big mistake by leaving the last check even he was rushing me to do so telling me it was the last day they will be done. Since August 3rd,2021 they had their last payment. They left trash on my front yard The City gave me ticket for $40.00 now it's up to $50 they didn't put back anything like the lights mail boxes house ## the emergency door can't even open I called, send them, texted them some pictures, everything I could, but they ignored me. Finally they remove the the trash they broke one of my ring bell, they never fixed the emergency door. My next step now will be calling channel 25 I need that open that door and better business bureau! read more

Bay State Exteriors - Roofing Near Me - Peabody, Massachusetts

This roofing business is a scam! The owner goes by the name Sal this isn't his real name. Sal cam to our house and put on quiet a show with his scam. We thought the price was o k and signed a contract and deposited $3,000. to schedule and start the roof work. They never arrived to start the job. We called Sal many times he never answers his phone and never returns messages. It has been months since we first met Sal and we aren't able to get our money back. Our lawyer is involved to investigate this company. They list a office out of Peabody MA, but no office exists. Don't get caught in this scam... beware. Jake read more

Beware! Called Bay State Exteriors after I saw them working on a house in my neighborhood. Sal returned my call quickly, came over made a good impression on us. He wrote up an estimate, we liked what we saw and contracted Bay State Exteriors for the work to be done in April. We wrote a deposit check $2000.00, that was cashed the next day. Quickly Sal made and broke appointments with us, ignored our phone calls and is just plan old hard to get in touch with. The work was to be completed in April, it was not, May, patiently waiting and giving the benefit of the doubt still no work done. By June we no longer want anything to do with this company and have ask for our deposit back. He cashed the check on April 10th bought no materials for our job and has not returned a cent back to us. Please search his name and company name before you give this person and his company any money. read more

Had my Tyngsboro, Mass house sided and all windows replaced for approx. $50K. I have a large window that is sitting on my porch that was never installed but paid for, garage lights that were all set at different heights and never corrected (paid for), a front door with a $2K deposit made in March 2022 that was never received or installed. Nicholas and his father Joel never return calls, ignore texts. I highly recommend you consider other alternatives. I told them that I would not let them steal from me and will be pursuing resolution. I have more to say but choose to stay professional. Called Town, they never took out a permit. read more

Sal came last july 2020 signed contract to side our house included in contract was 3 doors, half moon, slider and 2 window. project didn't start until October 2020 just siding, slider and windows were completed. 3 installment payments first installment payment made, second payment made, 3rd payment was to be paid at completion of project Sal wanted more than half before doors were installed and now my house is half completed and it's now May 2021. His family business is a scam. personally I would recommend using another company. This is going to the BBB. read more

Thank you, Bay State Exteriors, for bringing such professional crew to do the siding of our home. We are so happy with the results, and it was such a great investment! Our home looks brand new and the finishing touchings on the windows make a huge difference. read more

I have really bad experience with this company .they did the job without permit even not completed the job city is looking for them almost one year passed problem is still there .please don't use this company .building dept.is taking them to court owner are not trustworthy read more

DO NOT HIRE THIS COMPANY!! We had some wind damage in December 2023 that we wanted addressed right away due to safety issues. Sal was quick to come out and give us an estimate. Said he could start the next week. Would send us a contract and he would need half $ up front sent Venmo. The $ was sent over via Venmo (don't EVER DO THAT- RED FLAG), was informed he couldn't make it out the next week because he had to order the product. 3 weeks go by and still nothing done. Weather was an issue a couple times, so that's understandable but there was no contact from Sal. We reached out and FINALLY Sal had one of his guys out there for a half day for maybe 4 hours and there was some product left to "finish" the job when they come back. That was sometime in Jan. CRICKETS SINCE THEN. Several text messages to Sal and No response! Lesson Learned- CHECK REFERENCE, DO NOT USE VENMO TO PAY, Get a contract signed by him before giving any money. SAD THESE BUSINESS PEOPLE EXIST AND SCAM PEOPLE. Shame on you Sal! read more

This company is extremely unprofessional and does not do what they say they will. They did my mother's roof and were supposed to take all the trash away after the job was completed. They left 4-5 very large trash bags in her yard and never came back to get them after multiple calls and messages. I even called them (Sal) and he never returned my call either. Instead they left a bunch of huge trash bags in the front yard for a 75 year old Women to deal with. This guy Sal obviously has no integrity, and I would steer far away from doing business with this company. If they can't even pick up their trash, there is very little chance they will come back and repair anything that is more serious. read more

I tried to get a pool, decking and stairs installed. Called another of Joel Salvatore's companies Watercraft Pools. "Sal" gave a good pitch. Told me the job would be done early June (it was April). August came and still nothing. When I told him about my BBB complaint ( case 17697774) all of a sudden it's a different story except now they want more money up front with still no completion timeframe. Considering I spent 4 months chasing him and the pool company went defunct, and I've found several other customers who've been left hanging with installation or warranty problems I did not agree to the upfront payment. This wasn't the schedule he gave me at my home. Now they say I canceled. Funny how they didn't come and when I got sick of the lies now I'm in default. I wish I never met Joel Salvatore. I'll have to take him to court. I've learned a lot about him, found the many other companies he's been under. They all end the same. New company starts, consumers get ripped off, they complain and sometimes take them to court. Often the consumer is awarded a refund but then they don't pay. Eventually they lose their BBB accreditation and license. They get dropped from all home improvement sites due to complaints. Then open a new business under a similar name nearby. And it happens again. This is public information. Consumer beware Water Craft Pools and Spas from Billerica is now in NH and Watercraft Pools. Baystate Exterior had several names. Baystate in Massachusetts is a name people feel comfortable with. He's a seasoned scammer and has been doing this for years. Now there's Coast to Coast Roofah in Florida so they can prey on a new area. I found pages of information on the defunct companies, consumer complaints, lawsuits. Do your research before doing business with your his company. I wish I did more upfront. read more

Pay the extra money and use another company. After they did our roof they have had to come back twice to hang shingles that have fallen off. They didn't strip my old roof properly, they broke siding, didn't line shingles under our windows correctly and now we have more shingles hanging off and they won't call me back. I have to pay thousands to get my roof fixed correctly. I should have checked to BBB on these guys. Update 12/8/17 Just paid $2,000 to have the repairs done on my roof because of the awful job Baystate Exteriors did putting it on. read more

Dont do it to yourself. Your better off paying more money then going with this family own business. i Put a deposit for someone to come the next day and do the work no call no show. When I called the owner tells me his brother is in the hospital he will come during the week. Someone finally comes does the work and then they had to come back and finish doing the work again no call no show. Called and call to be told why I'm I in a rush. I canceled for the 2nd part, then I had to harass them for my warranty. Now they don't want to send my insurance company any paperwork of the job. read more

Frank came out quickly for a very competitive estimate, was flexible with the days I wanted to start the job and sent his crew out on the day they promised. His son showed up to kick the job off and ensure they clearly understood the job. The workers on the roof worked non-stop until the job was done. During the job I'd called Frank with questions and concerns. He responded quickly. The yard was left in great shape when they left. The roof looks great and it's been raining since they left with no problems. Top notch company. read more

BEWARE OF THIS COMPANY. I gave a deposit in May 2021 for doors and gutters to be installed in 4-6 weeks.

I would Not recommend Bay State to build a dog house after the service we received from them on a roofing job @ 80 Randolph Ave Tiverton RI. They did not finish the job and after numerous calls they never returned to complete the job that we paid for in full. Do not pay them until the job is finished!! Slick talkers and not to be trusted Frank Koch read more

I was super worried after I found out the negative reviews on Yelp. However, Sal delivered what he promised. Thank you for his flexibility and able to move up our schedule due to an emergency situation. Sal is so professional and knowledgeable. You can definitely trust and count on him. He is very responsive. Excellent and reliable customer service! I'm highly recommended Bay State if anyone needs a new roof. read more

BEWARE. THEY DON NOT COME BACK! Sal never comes back! We had to pay someone else to fix his shorty workmanship. Loves to get his money but does Not come back. We had many problems and NO HELP FROM SAL. Promise after promise. BAYSTATE DOES NOT STAND BEHIND THEIR WORK! So dishonest. read more

I had my roof done by bay state Exteriors sal the owner was supposed to return to finish up a few more things but after I paid him in full they never returned and after calling three time I never got a return call instead they left me with a bunch shingles and debris on the side of the house and the right side is completely covered with leftover shingles that I'll have to clean up in the spring I also found more than thirty nails in my driveway and I ended up getting two flat tires on my brand new snow tire on my bmw X5 next time I will pay for the work in full until I know the work is complete Tony G leominster mass. read more

I am not a huge fan of negative reviews but I gave Sal plenty of time to respond to my Wife (who was handing this project) and left a voice mail stating a review would be posted if we did not here back within 1 more week (has been 3 months already). If I knew communication was so bad I would have gone with a different company. The workers did great but had wrong materials/ design and inadequate resources to communicate with our needs causing the project to take longer. The final aspect of the home is not finished and Sal has not done anything to fix this issue. We have repeatedly tried to contact Sal by phone and Email but he has not responded. Luckily we did not pay upfront for his part of the service. We are planning several other projects and WILL NOT be using Baystate Exteriors due to this experience but anyone who falls for the Sal' s snake oil pitch is advised to firmly hold on to you CASH until the job is complete to their standards. read more
