Lysters did an outstanding repair for dry rot that turned out to be much worse than expected. Big shout out to Mike and Hunter who were awesome and did amazing work. Well done!

My experience with Lyster was awful! I called them for an estimate for a new roof after a recent hail storm, and, the receptionist said that they were very busy (she claimed they'd received 400 phone calls). She said it would be a few days before anyone got back to me. After a week of waiting, I followed up, and, the same woman said she would have someone follow up. A day later I received a call from a representative (Donte) and we scheduled an appointment. Donte promptly arrived, but made no effort to announce he'd arrived for our appointment. I heard him get up on a section of our roof and then he was back down and leaving within minutes. My wife and I went to the front yard and hailed him, and, when he pulled back in, he informed us that he saw no hail damage. I asked him for an estimate SIX TIMES so that we could talk with our insurance company, and determine our options for purchasing a new roof. Each time, he cited that an insurance company would likely not find damage suitable for coverage, and, I explained that we still would like the estimate to assess paying for it ourselves. I finally lost my temper after this sixth attempt and used an expletive while conveying my frustration with him. At which time he left. I understand that the insurance company may, or, may not cover some or all of the replacement value. What I don't understand is why anyone would waste their time, and ours, coming out and then, not bothering to communicate with us, measure up the roof, offer an estimate in an effort to earn our business? EXTREMELY UNPROFESSIONAL AND FRUSTRATING!

Response from Lyster Exteriors
Our customer service manager was spot on with the number of calls received from the unfortunate hail storm in the Otsego/ Plainwell area. Due to the enormous volume of calls, it was indeed conveyed to everyone that called in that it was taking several days for a contact call from our sales staff for an appointment time. During this time we were in the middle of a 2 month shut down per the governors "Stay at home" order due to COVID-19. We dispatched as many salesmen as we could ( going against her executive order ) to accommodate the growing urgency of calls from home owners with hail damage. Our staff was advised that they were to do do hail assessments only at this time to avoid any fines, as we were not considered an essential business. If there was hail damage they were they to then take measurements to be able to write up proposals for the damage for the home owners insurance company. Keeping within the "Social distancing" guidelines they were to avoid any additional contact with home owners as much as possible. We appreciated the patience and understanding due to the extreme situations of the time. We appreciate your feedback regarding the situation

Excellent. Meticulous avoidance of damage to nearby parts of the grounds and pickup of removed old materials. Magnetic sweepers assured that no old roofing nails were left on the ground or in parking and walking areas. Advance warning to remove cars from garages before re-roofing to prevent damage by falling debris. Continuous work on the job till completed, except. Worked unit by unit, removing old roofing in the AM and completing deck and eave prep and new roofing installation before leaving in the evening, so as not to leave a bare roof deck overnight. Supplied several well-trained, efficient, safety-conscious, courteous crews. Thereafter, a separate crew replaced gutters and downspouts, extruding gutters on-site to precise length. Lyster did all detailed work required by the contract. Impressed me and the other board members. Our manager had used Lyster before to re-roof a similar one of his other properties and recommended Lyster.

I called Lyster for a roofing estimate. An appointment was made but the employee never showed up/called. When I called the office, the kind office manager had the employee call me. He found a way to blame me for the no-show (saying that he assumed I'd be late so he was going to be late too). He said he'd come by later to do an estimate and that he would send it to me that week. He never came by and I never saw the estimate. Very poor customer service. You shouldn't have to work this hard to get someone's business.

Lyster came to our house to give us a quote. The employee did not show up on the original date but rather called the next day to apologize. We set up another time for them to see the house for a quote. This time they showed up a few minutes late but nothing alarming. The employee looked around, took some notes, and said that he would call with the quote after conferring with another employee; he said it should take about a week to assemble the quote. It has been four weeks and no contact from Lyster. If they cannot produce a quote within their stated time frame, I cannot believe they will respect the timeline of a job. Maybe they do great work, but I am not going to hire someone that cannot respect a timeline or even give me a courtesy call to explain why they have not produced a quote.

I could not ask for better. We had three estimates, Luke was the only one that submitted a very detailed itemized proposal with diagrams. (the main reason we selected Lyster) The men working were respectful, courteous, and always professional. The weather wasn't very nice during the three day job did not hear one complaint from them. Each evening things were picked up. They left no mess... They left one amazing deck. Will diffently use them again

There was so much going on there. It was pretty straight forward. We discussed the problems. They identified the problems. I chose the roofing. I didn't care much for the roofing the proposed to use. I looked at the samples and chose my own. They did good work. I am trying to sell the house so at this point I am trying to get rid of it as soon as I can. They actually did it in maybe 2 day periods maybe twice. Maybe spread out over 2 weeks. I don't occupy that house so I wasn't there when they did the work.
