Specialties
Paul John & Son is the NACIA Award-winning copper, slate, and cedar roofing specialist for Greater Boston — combining on-site copper fabrication with master craftsmanship trusted by the region's leading luxury builders and architects.
History
Established in 2023.
Our approach is straightforward: do the work the right way, pay attention to the details, and build roofing systems that last. We handle everything from same-day emergency repairs and full roof replacements to complex custom copper roofing systems designed and fabricated in our own shop. We are one of the few roofing contractors in Greater Boston with true in-house copper fabrication capability — which means tighter joints, a better fit, and work that is built specifically for your home, not adapted from a standard template. No matter the project, we bring the same level of care and commitment to doing it right.
Meet the Business Owner: Nelson D.
Nelson is not a business owner who manages from a distance. He is on the roof, in the shop, and on every job site. When you call Paul John and Son, you are calling Nelson.
He's leading the crew on many of its most complex and high-profile projects. From award-winning work, including the NACIA Award, to copper fabrication featured in Builder & Architect Magazine, to intricate restorations and custom installations, the kind of work that requires a high level of skill and precision. Nelson is not removed from the work—he is on-site, involved in the process, and closely connected to every project. He works alongside his crew, paying attention to the details and making sure each job meets the standard our clients have come to expect. Nelson takes great pride in his work, his company, and most importantly, his crew. He works six days a week, bringing the same level of focus and dedication to a simple repair as he does to a complex roofing system.
