Why Choose Us?
Lyster Exteriors' Roofing Process
At Lyster Exteriors, we are proud of our meticulous craftsmanship because quite frankly, your Roofing, Siding, Windows, Gutters, Doors or any other exterior home improvement project should never fall short of near perfection! When it comes to your home, one of your most prized and valuable investments, we believe you should be comfortable knowing the facts and steps our company implements in making sure your renovations go smoothly and efficiently, leaving you with many years of safety, security & comfort in your home.
1. Free Estimate
The first step in the Lyster Exteriors Roofing Process is handling your estimate request. Whether you call in and speak to one of our live secretaries or submit an online estimate request form, we will be able to provide you with a free estimate handled by one of our roofing professionals.
2. The Contract
Once a roofing professional has come out, you will receive a proposal for the work that we are able to perform. We will provide you with two copies of the contract, one for you to keep for your records and a second for you to sign and return to Lyster Exteriors. Once we have received the signed contract your job goes directly into the scheduling department to be setup for completion.
3. Scheduling Your Job
The third step in the Lyster Roofing Process is to prepare for the work to begin. We will select the best crew for your project, and a time for the work to begin (weather permitting). Once we are ready to begin the job we will order any material that is needed, and have it delivered, or brought to the job site by the roofers themselves.
When the crew arrives, they will begin setting up everything needed to complete your Roofing job. This may include tarps, ladders, plywood, extension cords, etc. If there are any questions that you would like to ask during any part of this process, please give us a call. It is always best to inform us of any concerns as soon as possible so we can address them.
4. Tearing Off Your Roof
Tearing off an existing roof can be a loud and dangerous process. There is a lot of weight coming off of your home, about 10,000 lbs on average. All of this material has to come off and is placed either directly into a dumpster or on the ground and removed by hand. It is important to understand that we do this everyday, and that many homeowners only have a roof done once or twice in their lives. So again, if there are any questions or concerns please give us a call and we will be able to answer any questions you may have.
5. Bad Wood
During the tear off process is the first time where the original roof deck is exposed. This is the first time we are able to assess the type and amount of wood that should be replaced. Many homes require little to no new wood, while others could need large sections replaced, as it is about 10% of our customers need no new wood at all, 2% need a lot (over 400 feet), but the average runs 20-80ft.
6. Installing Your New Roof
With a solid deck to work with, we are ready to begin installing your roof system which consists of 4 parts.
- ICE BARRIER is installed at the eves and in valleys of heated spaces. This is a self-sticking membrane, designed to resist melt water from entering the house if it backs up under the shingles when ice dams are occurring.
- FELT PAPER, installed over the remaining exposed decking was originally installed to protect the shingles from the sap in new roofing boards. Today its main function is to backup the shingles in situations of extreme windblown rain.
- SHINGLES. At last! It’s starting to look like a roof again. Anyone can claim to be a roofer and slap on shingles, but few roofers have the hands on experience, installing hundreds of successful projects and stick to the fine print of your lifetime warranty installation requirements as Lyster Exteriors has performed year in and year out.
- DETAILS — Vents, baby tins, chimney flashings, pipe flashings, “the devil is in the details” must have been coined with roofing in mind. When inexperienced roofers have problems it is usually here. For Lyster Exteriors, there is no such thing as 99%, we feel 1 drip is 100% failure. Our crews take pride in building a roof system that not only looks great but will provide years of worry free service.
- COMPLETED JOB. Once everything has been completed, we will sweep and haul away all of the debris around the house. All of our roofing trucks are equipped with magnets that will pick up stray nails around you property. If you are having (gutters, siding, or windows) installed, an additional crew will arrive within 1 week after the roof has been done. If there was a dumpster used at your property it will be removed after the job has been completed.
This last part is one of the most important parts of our roofing process and the reason that 86% of roofing companies fail in the first 5 years. At Lyster Exteriors, we take no short cuts and follow each of these steps to a tee! We will not only leave you with security and peace of mind after your new roof is complete but with each step of our process as well! Contact Lyster Exteriors today!

Lyster crew just finished residing our 130yr. old farmhouse. Striping old siding, reinsulating, trimming and lots of other incidentals. Chris and his crew were great! Worked in poor weather, showed up same time every day, professional, courteous, hard working and pay attention to the little things. I have 40 years working in the building trades and this is one of the best companies I've come across. They do good work.

I highly recommend calling Lyster Exteriors for any project you may have.

Impeccable service!When my husband and I were taking in bids from local contractors for replacement windows we were on the fence on which one to select. We received 6 bids and were contemplating on price, reputation and best in class service. We decided to go with Lyster Exteriors for 3 reasons: Reputation, Referral, and Jesse, the Production Manager at Lyster.Lyster and their crew were prompt, professional, courteous and handled every question and need that we had. I cannot thank the crew and Jesse, for their impeccable service, ease, and communication throughout the process. One of our windows had been cracked during shipping from the Manufacturer, and Lyster immediately indicated to us that it will be replaced. They placed the order and two weeks later called us to install, we have never been so satisfied in selecting Lyster. We’ve referred 3 families to them and they too have been completely satisfied.Thank you Jesse and the full crew at Lyster Exteriors for a job well done! I appreciate all that you’ve done for us and will continue to utilize your company for future services. Thank you!

I needed a new roof so I asked my friends who they recommend, Lyster was the most recommended so I asked for a quote from them and several other companies. Lyster came back with the best price but for the same quality.In just a few weeks (maybe 2?) the guys were out there getting the new roof on.Everyone was nice and the made sure to clean everything up when they were done. It was extremely easy on my part.Also, the roof looks great! We had a big storm the next week and it was great to see everything withstand the big test of nature.I especially want to thank Mike for not being a “pushy” sales guy like a few other were. I also wanted to thank the crew for staying late. They were working into the night Friday night to make sure they got everything done asap and I appreciated that SO MUCH. 100/10 would recommend.

Lyster Exteriors installed a new roof at my home and they did an excellent job. I worked with Jesse Eyre who was very helpful explaining the various roofing material options, warranty durations, and which shingle would provide me with the best results for the long-term. What impressed me the most was how professional and responsive Jesse was. The job was completed on time and the Lyster Team made sure all of the old roofing debris were cleaned up after the job. I would highly recommend Lyster Exteriors.

Lyster Exteriors recently replaced our roof after storm damage. They responded quickly to make the roof water tight. The work was completed quickly and professionally. Would definitely use them for any future exterior work.

I had some seamless gutter installed on my home by Lyster. My husband came home from work, and said it looked like nobody had been there. I said, "look, the gutter is there". Blended in so well he couldn't tell! None of our yard look disturbed, no scrap or materials left behind from install. Jesse was amazing to work with and kept in touch the entire process.

Had individual come out for deck and porch repair, was to receive estimate by email never received, never got call back or anything. If could give negative stars i would. We will need a roof in a few years along with gutters as well. I guess someone else will get that job. Very unprofessional

I called on a Wednesday for a small home repair. Thursday a representative came looked at the job gave me a quote that I accepted. Did the work on the spot. The employee was very conscientious. He did the job he was hired for cleaned up and was pleasant. I would call if I needed their assistance for another occasion.

Recently had our roof redone and used Lysters.At first, there wasn't very good communication and our roof wasn't completely done for a few months. We reached out a few times for a follow up and to see if we could get a few cosmetic issues resolved and finally got in contact with Jesse Eyre.Jesse has been responsive and has been helping us to get the last few issues resolved. He has been professional and VERY patient with us as we learn more about this process.Although the project started out rough, we greatly appreciated Jesse stepping in and making things right!

Lyster Exteriors completed our roof removal and replacement last week. We could not be happier with their work. They arrived as schedule, were extremely professional and their attention to detail was impressive. They covered windows, plants and outdoor equipment to assure they were not damaged, at the end of each day they cleaned up prior to leaving. Although it is tough to be excited about a new roof, it looks great. We highly recommend Lyster Exteriors.

Nearly a year ago we purchased a home that required a huge amount of work both interior and exterior. I had received good reviews from a close friend who had used Lyster services and called Dante Ottolini, service representative, whom she had used. First things first... Dante is one of the kindest and most patient gentleman that worked with us through nearly our entire project, which in the beginning seemed overwhelming. Through Covid delays and life circumstances he was able to help us in the many decisions and provide expert and seamless service for home and garage roofing, gutters, replacement windows and doors. He was available with quick callbacks, even during evening and weekend hours and talked us thru every question imaginable. It was his dedicated work that helped get us moving in the right direction. When questions and surprises came up with this very old and dilapidated structure, that is now home for our daughter, he was able to help us every time. When there were any problems or concerns, they were remedied right away. He set the best “first impression” for the company and carried thru.Special shout outs to Ken, team leader for door and window replacements and John, team leader for roofing for their expertise, professionalism and just plain hard work! Thank you!I found Lyster Exteriors to provide fair and competitive pricing and everyone I spoke with but never met (office, accounting, scheduling) were friendly, professional and accurate in the information I was requesting. I would definitely use Lyster Exteriors again and will refer them to others.

Friendly, quick and thorough. Previous experiences with contractors have left me with debris in my yard that landed my dog in the ER. NOT A CONCERN with Lyster. I swear my yard is cleaner than before they began and my roof looks amazing.

We had a complete exterior replacement and looks fabulous!! The crews were very professional and willing to work with us along the way on anything and everything. We had to wait an extra 6 months to get these guys and couldn't be happier that we did. Their work is top notch, if you want professionals doing your work I highly recommend Lyster Exteriors. We had ALOT of work done and couldn't be happier with the results. A huge thank you to Sy for putting the project together and everyone involved in working on our home, we Love it!!

Lyster did an amazing job on my house and garage roofs! The crew was efficient and the clean-up afterwards was impressive. Considering all of the shingles that had to be removed there were only a few TINY scraps left behind. In addition , the yard was not damaged at all!The roofs look great and the company reps I spoke with were all very professional. Why go anywhere else?

I needed work done to re-wrap the 2 columns under my front porch overhang that has experienced rot. They had 2 separate people come out to evaluate my project. Was told after the 2nd eval...a third would contact me. That never happened. 2 Weeks later I called the main number...who deferred me back to the last person who had been out. He of course never called me back after I left a voicemail. Terrible service...if you don't want the job at least tell me so I can move on. Would not recommend!!!

Called for estimate on gutter replacement, facia and soffit. Everything went fine, guy came out reviewed what needed to be done. Received email, manager turned job down, with no reason as to why. Must be my job isn’t large enough for them.

So many other roofing companies gave me the run-a-round or tried to con me into getting the entire roof replaced. No one else would call/email me in a timely manner.It was extremely refreshing when Cory Tyler came to the house within a couple days, shook my hand, and gave me a business card. The actual repair happened the day after the payment was confirmed. They were honest, fast, and communicated well.

Edit 4/17/21- I got a call after posting this and they told me someone was supposed to come out and do a final inspection with me. That never happened. They said they’d figure it out and call me back. No one ever called. No one ever came to do an inspection. It’s been 4 months since I posted this review and almost a year since I had services from them. Very upset by the lack of communication and customer service I’ve received overall.I really wanted to like this place as the person I dealt with was very nice. They were very unorganized scheduling my job. Upon completing it, they had thrown away several cases of brand new shingles, didn't correctly repair the flashing and a few other little things. It took over 3 months to get only some of the issues fixed and no one ever called me to schedule them showing up. They just randomly showed up months later, complained, left without saying anything and still only fixing one of the issues I had. I had also talked to my rep three separate times that the attic needed to be insulated when my roof was done and it was never done. Overall, I’m very upset with how this whole thing went given how much I spent.

The Team at Lyster Exteriors have done several projects for us and we have had a great experience each time. They are reliable and communicate well. They pick up after themselves and each team member is very professional. One of the biggest things that I have appreciated is their honesty. I asked them to quote a job and they provided advise that allowed me to get what I want accomplished much cheaper than a full on replacement. This is why they will always have a loyal customer.

Lyster Exteriors did a very fine job tearing off my 25 year old roof and installing a new roof. The crew of 3 showed up on time, were pleasant, and worked hard and efficiently. Salesman and project manager Lee T was the best. His pricing was attractive and easy to understand, his technical expertise was invaluable and confidence boosting, and his personal ownership of my project was exceptional. When small issues surfaced he was at my house and in my attic and did whatever was necessary to make me a happy and satisfied customer. Five stars.

It is a very busy time for chimney repair and cleaning.Lyster's picked up immediately and were professional. They were straight to the point and although they are very busy and couldn't fit us in, due to the nature of our situation, I appreciate their responsiveness.

They replaced my roof in 2014 and a week or so ago I noticed that my skylight was leaking. I called on 7-28 and they were here today, 8-4, ans replaced it at no charge under the warranty. Great to work with.

We had a complete roof replacement in September. I was extremely happy with Lyster Exteriors, all the way from the help and quote provided by Dante to the crew that did the installation. I had been worried about having our replacement done due to the size and complexity of our roof, but the Lyster crew installed it quicker than I expected and did a top-notch quality job. It looks great. Not only was the price less than other quotes, but I was also able to include the Certainteed extended 5 star warranty in that price. Would definitely use Lyster again for any exterior work based on this experience.

Recently I contracted with Lyster Exteriors to have some restoration work done to my home, which is over 100 years old. The old siding was removed and replaced with new vinyl siding, as well as all the windows were wrapped in aluminum trim in the colors of my choice burgundy and white. The old wood trimmed front porch was also replaced with gray composite flooring along with white vinyl turned posts, railing, spindles and aluminum ceiling. Since my house is old, I requested everything to be as authentic as the the old look if possible, right down to how the pattern of the floor and ceiling was cut and placed to duplicate the old pattern. The job turned out to be beyond my expectations. It is beautiful thanks to the workers from Lyster ( Luke, my salesman as well as Lance, Johnny and Tim ) who used their talents, know-how and skills to do a remarkable job. They were also extremely hard workers, courteous, and easy to talk to about any concerns or questions I might have had. My old home is now absolutely beautiful....and, best of all, I will no longer ever have to paint anything again. Thank you so very much to Lyster Exteriors for doing such a phenomenal job for me......I would highly recommend them to anyone. My house is on the main road through town and has already been the talk of everyone that sees it. Thank you so very much, Lyster, for everything.Nancy SeibertOtsego Michigan

Superb!Lyster has installed doors, windows, siding and gutters at my older home.They do outstanding high quality work on difficult projects.Luke is always available to offer solutions should issues arise and is extremely innovative on ways to cut costs where possible. All of the craftsmen are highly skilled and exhibit excellent workmanship.I'd like to see Lyster offer interior remodeling also - I'd call them in a heartbeat, no question.

Lyster redid our roof recently and the whole experience was awesome. Luke provided a detailed quote that was head and shoulders above the other quotes we received in terms of detail. He was up front and honest about the quote and educated us on what exactly they would be doing and why, which was so helpful for me since I have no prior knowledge on the subject.At the last minute, we contacted Luke and asked if the crew could add some sun tunnels and Luke didn't hesitate to accommodate our last minute request. We had planned to install in the inside portion of the sun tunnels ourselves and when we ran into an issue, Luke took time out of his schedule to come help after their part of the job was done. The crew that did our roof was amazingly efficient and worked incredibly hard. I'm sure a lot of companies may have been able to do this job, but the customer service we received from Lyster was unmatched. They were awesome to work with and went above and beyond to make sure we were satisfied with the job. Highly recommend.

Jesse Eyre and his entire team was terrific. From the initial call asking for information - a new roof is a huge burden for most of us - to picking out the shingles all the way to working with our insurance and payment needs, it was a great experience. The work went quickly. Jesse under-promised and over-delivered. I recommend roofing needs to Lyster Exteriors now for sure.

So glad I choose Lyster for my siding project. My house looks great and everyone I dealt with at Lyster was knowledgeable and customer focused. I was impressed that their Sales rep had extensive product knowledge about siding, having been on the suplier side as well as having hands on experience. This came in handy when it came to helping me pick the right siding and shakes, as well as how to best wrap the windows, selecting the right colors and answering all my questions. Lyster stood out from other siding companies in that Lyster was the only company I found that provides insurance for their employees which others do not, so that I did not need to worry about someone getting hurt while doing my house. The Lyster crews that did my house were very skilled, fast and customer focused. I was impressed by the laser leveling they did to make sure the siding wrapped around the house and came back at the right level which didn’t seem easy to me considering all the coves and contours of our house. I loved the way the doors were wrapped to give the effect of a molding contour not just box molding. They did a terrific job making complicated cuts for the siding above our garage’s angled roof. I especially was impressed that the work that would be hidden by siding was done well even though no one would see it. The workers always took the time to address any question I had. Lyster’s scheduler gave me a schedule for my siding project and Lyster crews completed the project ahead of schedule. I am so glad I choose Lyster and highly recommend them.
