We called the day of the 5th largest snow in Chicago's history and Swistun came out that same day to shovel our roof. Although the price might seem high, it was well worth it! We have had ice dams in the past and they have cost thousands of dollars in damages.

I had water leaking into a dining room from ice dams on the roof and I was out of town on business. I called three different outfits I found on Angie's and Swistun was the first to answer the phone. Initially they didn't think they could get to the job until the following day. But, after agreeing to have them do the work for the following day, they called back about an hour later and were able to get a crew to my house within about two hours of my initial call. Very prompt and very appreciated considering the potential water damage I was faced with. Swistun is not cheap - I took a deep breath when I saw the final bill. To be fair though, they were completely up front about the pricing when I called looking for help so the final bill was not a complete surprise. They charged $180 for the first 30 minutes and $3/minute after that. My entire job was about 1 1/2 hours. Even at the price it was money well spent to prevent damage I would have spent even more to have repaired had the leakage continued. Overall - good job.
Description of Work: Cleared snow drifts from my roof after an 18" snowfall. We had melting issues with water leaking into a dining room.

We had an ice dam that was causing seepage into the attic. We found Swistun on Angie's List. We were offered same day service for an upcharge. We took that option and they showed up quickly. Two service people climbed up on our roof and cleared the ice and snow. They did an outstanding job that solved the issue. The best part was that the charge was $189 for the first 30 minutes and 2.25 a minute after that. The crew moved quickly but still safely to complete the job correctly in as short a time as possible. They did't drag out to increase the charge. They then gave us advice on preventing future issues. the crew from Swistun were great and went a long way in establishing creditability for their company.

Claudia was very helpful in scheduling our quote and the actual service. The owner, Casey, came out to provide the quote and they did the work a few weeks later. He came back to inspect the job as well which was a nice touch. We're happy with the installation, but won't know how well this works for us until winter really kicks in to high gear!

We've been working with Swistun for a number of years, both on our old house and now with the one we moved into a few months ago. They are always highly professional and great to deal with. Casey came out to the new house late in summer to look at the rotted windows, etc. He did a very thorough job looking over the house, and the estimate was sent quickly. Casey promised he would get to us ASAP, but he was backed up with lots of work and that it probably be three months before he got to us (which is exactly what occurred). The work took a total of five days. Different crews came for the roofing, window replacement, and siding work. All the guys were prompt, they cleaned up after their work each day, and were very easy to deal with. I was able to look at the new weatherproofing and flashing work as it was being completed before the new siding went on. It was clear that the work was highly professional and all was tightly sealed. No chance these new windows will rot from leaking rain. We still need to do some additional roof work next spring. We will be using Swistun for that work as well.
Description of Work: Swistun replaced eight custom built windows (on two floors of our house) which were rotting, took old the siding off from the entire side of the house that the widows are on, placed new weather proofing and flashing around the new windows and underneath everything else, then placed new siding back on. They also did some small roof repairs.

Our main points of contact were the project manager Dane and customer service rep Claudia. Dane came out promptly after we called and assessed our hail damage. He worked closely with our insurance claims adjuster to ensure that the extent of the damage was clearly understood and accounted for. Our siding was no longer in production, so Dane had to work with State Farm to identify replacement siding that matched. Once the work was agreed, Claudia gave us timely and accurate updates on scheduling. The work was completed quickly and with high quality. The workers were very conscientious about keeping things neat and tidy after they completed the work each day. We've never been disappointed with Swistun's work.
Description of Work: (1) Roof replacement; (2) partial vinyl siding replacement (due to hail damage); (3) aluminum window trim wrap.

The work was done quickly and efficiently. The work crew was friendly and cleaned up thoroughly after each day of work. The company representative, Dane, was exceptional. He responded promptly to any questions or issues I had and did everything in his power to make me happy. The office contact, Claudia was wonderful as well, making sure I got everything I asked for as quickly as possible. I would use this company again in a heartbeat.

Casey said the roof was good. He found a couple of cracked that he made a second trip out to seal for us. We think they are great! They hung our gutters, gutter guards, and installed new soffits for us. Very professional
Description of Work: We had our roof checked after the freak hailstorm our area experienced and the roof was pronounced fine. We recently noted a small stain in our front hall, though and wanted a second inspection

The owner called me, and just doesn't care to accommodate a prior customer.
Description of Work: I have used this contractor in the past with always good results. However, their past customers mean nothing to them. When I called today about a roof leak, they could not accommodate me until next spring. I told them that when I needed a new roof in the future, they would not get my business. If they can't help out a prior customer, they certainly aren't going to be able to stand behind their services.

Response from Swistun Inc
We are truly very sorry about this. It has been a crazy year for us. We have been booked up with estimates for at least 8-10 weeks ahead of time since February. The harsh winter, summer storms, and unexpected emergencies within Swistun have contributed to our tight schedule. We are sorry to say that under the circumstances we are in, we have had to make some tough decisions regarding our estimates this year. All of our customers deserve the best service possible. We highly value every one of our customers. We are very sorry for the inconvenience.
