Horrible horrible service, called them for an estimate and it took them for me to call two more times so they can come. They lied to my home insurance and got extra money for repairs they didn’t even do. After 5 years of my house being roofer, now they’re saying they don’t even have my record on file! Straight ridiculous, having to have my insurance company call them directly.And after they took a good month finishing my roof, I still ended up having a leak. Either way, they get their money’s worth from insurance company. I would NEVER recommend “Weather Tamer Home Improvement” and

We had Weather Tamer install a new roof on 11/13/12. The roof started leaking within the warranty period. Weather Tamer came out to address the issue on one occasion but failed to successfully stop the leaks. Our leak in the kitchen is so bad, we have to put a bucket under it to catch the rain. We started calling them to come back out to fix the problem on 2/1/17. We were informed today,3/30/17, that "we just put your file away. I thought they came out a couple of weeks ago and made repairs." Well, no one has been out to repair the roof since I started calling two months ago. We now have water

Being first time homebuyers, my finance and I purchased a home that we knew needed some initial repairs, however we were not expecting to incur the cost of replacing the roof. I wanted to thank the crew at Weather Tamer for turning a stressful situation into a beautiful remodel. They handled everything from the financing to the finished product. The work was quality and done in a timely fashion, which is a blessing this time of year when the elements are coming inside. Most of all, it was nice to finally meet a knowledgeable contractor that we felt like we could trust. Thanks again to Mike and

I got a new roof almost 2 years ago. I am happy enough with it, but there have been some problems. They have been out 3 times to fix the 2 issues and now they are fixed. However, there is still one problem and we have made numerous calls. We are always told that they will come out and repair it....months go by and we call again...andeveagain...and again. I am frustrated that it takes so much effort. I also called 3 times to get a quote for gutters and never had anyone show up. When my roof is finally right I will change my star rating, but I bet if I was still holding part of my payment it would

The roofers doing the work ran out of underlining and started putting shingles without the paid for underlining on until I got home and caught them doing this. I also observed a section of plywood that had damage and was shingled over. My original roof was 25 yrs old and no leaks. After Weather Tamers my skylight leaked and some ridge cap came off. It took almost a month to get them back. I normally don't do reviews but the crew that worked on my house was terrible. I'm still having problems with my roof 4 yrs later.
