Meet the Lyster Exteriors Team: Kalamazoo Roofers

Founded by Matthew Lyster, Lyster Exteriors has been better serving the needs of our expanding home-base since 1998. The company got its start in Climax, Michigan. In 2000, the small group of friends grew and became Lyster Contracting. By 2005, Matt and his crews were framing multi-unit condominium units in Battle Creek and Kalamazoo; building barns, garages, and home additions; roofing, siding, and installing windows, doors, and gutters. The company moved its facilities to Kalamazoo to accommodate its expansion. This multi-talented company, now known as Lyster Exteriors is focused on your exterior home improvement needs.
