Testimonials

Lyons Contracting did a terrific job with my new roof and handled some unexpected wrinkles with aplomb (replacing skylight). The roofing men were as hardworking, prompt, and tidy in cleanup as any I’ve seen.

We discovered water leaking into the attic around the chimney on our 100-year-old 2-story house. Mike Simpson of Lyons immediately set up an inspection appointment and came promptly to our house, went up on the roof and found that the problem wasn’t the roof or flashing but deterioration of the chimney mortar, allowing water to get behind the flashing. He documented the problem with a video, which he texted to me (extremely helpful because the chimney is not fully visible from the round) and explained we needed a mason, not a roofer, at least not until the mortar was fixed. In short, Mr. Simpson was prompt, fast and professional, identifying the need for work that his company doesn’t do and all without charge. I was impressed.

I discovered a roof leak (came through my bathroom ceiling) after some recent heavy rains and called a roofing contractor that I had previously used. They told me it would be at least a week before they could look at the problem and several weeks later before a repair could be completed. They recommended Lyons Contracting for a faster response. Boy were they right about Lyons! I called Lyons and was told that Mike Simpson would be out the next day to check out the problem. Mike arrived on schedule and quickly diagnosed the likely cause of the leak. Mike installed a sealant patch, but cautioned that followup might be needed and I was to call him after the next heavy rain with a status. Turns out he was right and I still had a slight amount of water seepage. Mike returned and replaced two boards that had water damage and the associated shingles. Mike still wanted me to follow up after the next heavy rain and I was happy to tell him there was no leakage! What impressed me most was Mike’s commitment to job completion and customer satisfaction. He is very knowledgeable and was willing to explain what he was doing and answer all of my questions (I ask a lot of questions). Bottom line is that when your roof is leaking, you want quick, professional and dependable response to your problem. I got this with Lyons Contracting and specifically with Mike Simpson. Mike, thanks so much for your outstanding work and your integrity.

In the middle of September after all of the rain, my roof started leaking just as I was about to go on vacation. A hurricane was on its way and I had to get someone to look at my roof and tell me how bad it was before I left which was only two days. Michael at Lyons was was responsive and considerate. It is not easy to get someone to talk to you on short notice, much less look at the roof. Michael made time in his schedule and did a temp repair before the hurricane. After the raining stopped, Michael came out and made the repairs. He was very clear what needed to be done and really went the extra mile. Since the repair, we had some rain from hurricane Michael and no leaks! I am very pleased.

Discovered a leak in my roof (was leaking through my bathroom ceiling) and called a roofing contractor that had previously worked on my roof several years ago. They said it would be a week before they could check it out and several weeks before they could repair it. They recommended Lyons Contracting for a quicker response. I called Lyons and they said Mike Simpson would come out the next day – which he did. Mike did a quick patch but cautioned that the boards (where the water was coming through) might have to be replaced. He was right, because after the next heavy rain, some dampness was still present. Mike replace two boards, sealed the area, and matched and replaced a number of shingles. Most importantly, Mike said to call him (one way or another) after the next rain. Well after the heavy rain on Oct 11-12, I can confidently say the repair fixed the leak. I was very impressed with Mike’s professionalism, knowledge, dependability and Customer sensitivity. Bottom line is, if you have a roofing issue, you need to contact Lyons Contracting and ask for Mike Simpson. You won’t be disappointed.

We recently had our Arlington VA 80 year old slate roof replaced with architectural tile by Lyons. The total experience and result was wonderful – the estimate by Mike Simpson and the excellent result. I strongly recommend Lyons for any and all roof work.

I had a flat roof replaced above the kitchen plus a new sky lite installed. The work was fairly priced by Tom and the work performed to specifications. I will keep Lyons phone number on file for future roofing repairs and replacements.

“I had 4 quotes from different contractors for a new roof including a flat roof section. Lyons prices were super competitive and they used the best materials including copper flashing. The install went smooth and its been 8 years now and there has been no issues at all. Someday will use them to replace our soffits.”

“Tom at Lyons Contracting provided quick service. He was available to take a look at my leaky roof the same day I called. Upon arrival at my house, Tom was professional and clearly stated what the problem was. Tom is knowledgeable and I will call him in the future for my home improvement needs.”

“Tom Petrilli was incredibly well informed and provided us with several very interesting proposals on how to replace the 20+ year old asphalt-shingle roof of our house. The contract was straightforward and informative, no puzzling fine print anywhere. Lyons Contracting’s crew are clearly all very professional and well trained. A sign of their competence and of the pride they take in their work is that there was absolutely no yelling, shouting, or swearing during the entire period they worked at the house. The workers clearly knew what they were doing, and it shows.

They provided very good looking copper flashing around the two brick chimneys, and they replaced the so-so flashing around the skylight with new flashing that was, so we learned, fashioned with precision Swiss-made device that the company owns for just such needs. And how does the new roof (we went with high-grade asphalt shingles in the end) look? It looks superb! Would heartily recommend this company to anybody.”
