Our Story
RB Farina Roofing Co was founded on a commitment to quality workmanship, honest service, and long-lasting roofing solutions. Over the years, we have built a strong reputation across Massachusetts by consistently delivering reliable roofing services and standing behind our work, whether the project is a single-family home in a quiet suburb or a multi-unit property in a dense urban neighborhood.
As Massachusetts communities continue to grow and modernize, from the Boston metro area to smaller cities and towns across the Commonwealth, we remain committed to preserving the integrity of historic homes while providing roofing solutions that improve durability, ventilation, and weather resistance. Our experience working with aging structures, complex rooflines, and dense urban properties gives us the knowledge needed to handle roofing challenges unique to Massachusetts, no matter which part of the state a property is in.
Roofing Built for Massachusetts Weather
New England weather places exceptional stress on roofing systems, and Massachusetts’s geography means that stress looks a little different depending on where a property sits. Heavy snow accumulation, ice dams, wind-driven rain, and sharp temperature fluctuations are constants across the state, but coastal communities along the North Shore and South Shore also contend with salt air corrosion and direct Nor’easter wind exposure, while inland and western Massachusetts properties, including areas approaching the Berkshires, often see higher seasonal snow load and more sustained freeze-thaw cycling.
Our roofing systems are designed specifically for Massachusetts conditions, ensuring:
Proper ventilation to prevent ice dams Durable materials built to withstand snow and wind loads Flashing systems that prevent moisture intrusion Drainage solutions for heavy rainfall and melting snow Insulative performance that improves energy efficiency Corrosion-resistant materials and detailing for coastal properties
Because we work throughout Massachusetts year-round, we understand how seasonal changes and regional exposure affect roofing performance and longevity differently depending on where a property is located.
Specialists in Historic & Residential Roofing
Massachusetts is home to some of New England’s most historic and architecturally significant properties, from Boston’s brownstones and Beacon Hill row houses to Colonial-era homes in towns like Concord and Marblehead, coastal captain’s houses along the North Shore, and historic mill-town triple-deckers in cities like Worcester, Lowell, and Fall River. Roofing these structures requires specialized knowledge that balances preservation with modern performance, and local historic district guidelines can vary significantly from one town to the next.
We have extensive experience working with:
Historic brownstones and Victorian homes Colonial and Craftsman-style houses Coastal saltbox and Cape Cod-style homes Triple-deckers and multi-family properties Slate roofing systems Architectural asphalt shingles Low-slope and flat roofing systems Standing seam and metal roofing
Our team understands how to preserve architectural character while improving durability and weather resistance, whether a property falls under a strict local historic district or simply calls for a material choice that respects its original style.
Our Commitment to Quality
At RB Farina Roofing Co, quality is never compromised. Every roofing project across Massachusetts is completed using proven installation techniques, high-performance materials, and careful attention to detail.
Our commitment includes:
Thorough inspections and honest recommendations Premium roofing materials from trusted manufacturers Skilled installation following industry best practices Clean and organized job sites Workmanship backed by warranty protection
We believe roofing is not simply about installing materials — it is about protecting your home, your investment, and your peace of mind, no matter where in Massachusetts you call home.
Safety, Compliance & Professional Standards
Roofing requires precision, safety, and strict compliance with Massachusetts building codes, including the state’s 780 CMR building code and its requirements around ice barrier installation and wind resistance. Our team follows professional safety protocols and local regulations to ensure every project is completed responsibly, whether that means coordinating with a town’s historic district commission or managing permitting across multiple municipalities.
We maintain:
Full licensing and insurance coverage Compliance with Massachusetts building requirements Permit handling when required, including coordination with local historic district commissions where applicable Safe work practices and property protection
Homeowners and property managers can feel confident knowing their property is protected throughout the entire project, regardless of which Massachusetts community they’re in.

Our service coverage includes the Greater Boston area, the North Shore, the South Shore, MetroWest, and the Merrimack Valley, among other regions across the Commonwealth, including Boston, Cambridge, Belmont, Lexington, Somerville, Medford, Brookline, Waltham, Winchester, and Quincy, as well as surrounding cities and towns further from the immediate metro area.

Hugo was professional and explained all aspects of the project. I'd definitely recommend them!Posted on Google Disha Patel I used Farina twice this year, for a commercial building in Norwood and a residential building in Cambridge. Rodrigo did a thorough job scoping both jobs, providing details and advice beyond what we got from competitors. In Cambridge, our on-site manager Wagner and head carpenter Luiz were committed to doing the work correctly, and keeping me informed along the way. In the office, it was a pleasure working with Sarah and Beatriz as we worked to schedule the jobs before snow flew and reconciled the final invoices. Don't hesitate to engage Farina--they are as professional and competent a vendor as you'll find in the Boston area.Posted on Google Nihal Bhujle We were very happy with the work done by RB Farina’s teams. There was good on-site communication ensuring we were provided updates of the progress and any additional time needed. The finished work was done with high quality.

Cleison and his crew did a terrific job, took care of every detail - the workmanship was outstanding. Lucas, the supervisor was available throughout the entire project to answer questions and keep things moving. When an unforeseen plumbing issue occurred with a very old damaged roof drain Lucas was able to connect with a plumber who immediately responded and quickly replaced the damaged section without delaying the job. Farinas pricing was very competitive, Paulo the sales rep was able to quickly respond, estimate the job and start the permitting process within a few days. I would definitely recommend this company to anyone in need of a first class roofing job.Posted on Google Howard Blum Farina did a great job installing our new shingle and metal roof.
