The owner, Cameron, used to be a mechanic, and auto body worker, so in addition to his lawn services and snow plowing (both of which we have used, successfully), I would imagine you could also use him for mechanic's services. His integrity? Well, last winter, when he was plowing our driveway, he accidentally backed into the right rear corner of my car, which was parked outside, creating a significant dent. RIGHT AWAY, without hesitation, he told me about it AND offered to repair it at no cost (which he did, once the weather warmed up a bit). Looks as good as new. Now THAT is Integrity! I have a feeling he hasn't advertised a whole lot, so you may not have heard of this company; I urge you to give him a shot for lawn care, snowplowing, and maybe even car repair. He's a good man.

As soon as weather permitted, they installed a couple window wells and fixed the grading along one wall of my house over the course of a weekend. They also extended and buried one of my gutters to ensure that water was in fact flowing far away from my foundation. Living on clay soil, this meant that I went from having a babbling brook in my basement during rainstorms, to no water coming in at all. It's been a huge relief, and I'm incredibly grateful to the both of them for their considerate and honest assessment and resolution of the issues I was having.

I delayed opening it until I knew the house's listing was going live.

Vliestra Bros. is also where my mother bought all of her pool chemicals for decades.

We had high hopes of finding someone to maintain our equipment, open and close annually, and…read moreperhaps sell and install a new liner for us. Let's start with our first impression: Back in August or early September, we stopped into Vlietstra Brothers Pools & Spas to ask a few questions and schedule our closing. The woman working the front counter was obviously very tired and didn't really want to deal with us. I asked about ordering a custom spa cover. No, they can't do that. Hmm... pools and spas, right? Ok, what is your payment structure for pool services, such as a fall closing? She had no idea what I meant, and was insulted when I asked my husband if I had said it too politely... snapping at me before I finished my sentence, like I was going to call her stupid or something. Nevertheless, we gave her the benefit of the doubt. We all have off days! So, we scheduled our closing for the 22nd of October, 2021 and she wrote it into their schedule book. Fast forward to Friday, 10/15: I received a call mid-afternoon from a woman named Michelle (not the same woman, I am told). She wanted to know if she could schedule the closing for Monday, 10/18. Well, we weren't prepared and it's 5 days early, but hey, why not? I was told they work hourly, so we'd just throw a few more bucks their way for closing, as we hadn't finished everything we'd hoped to have prepped for them yet. However, we did spend a large part of our weekend getting as much water drained as we could in the time we had left, laying out the cover, and prepping the deck area for them. 10/15, 10/17, and 10/18: I called and left messages with 3 different extensions asking that someone call me ASAP. I just needed someone to call me before they came to my address. All we wanted was to discuss where everything was located, and what we had done ahead of time. Maybe even what we expected of them, since no one had asked us what exactly we wanted done.... By the time I did get in touch with someone at Vlietstras, I was informed my pool closing was completed and the service tech had already left. This was Monday, 10/15, at 9:27am. I work close by and ran home, as I had intended to do to speak with the service tech. Here's what we found: 1. My diving board, which had never been removed, was sitting in the back corner of my detached garage. This is not where the pool equipment is located. This is not where anything for the pool is located. What business did this tech have being in that building, let alone traversing a mountain of equipment to sit my diving board in the back corner??? So, in hindsight, this still absolutely infuriates me. This person went into a closed up building, saw there was no pool related equipment, and continued in and around. 2. After removing part of the now installed safety cover, we discovered the jets had not been blown out, and that the water level still was above them. If you're reading this, it's probably because you have a pool. You probably then know that water left in those pipes over the winter will freeze here in Michigan. No anti-freeze in anything. That can crack the pipes, fittings, your filter, your pump, and any other hardware connections that are in the way! 3. They installed my safety cover that I've used for 4 winters, with new connections in my cement - not using existing ones. Yes, you read that right. They put several new anchors into the cement that surrounds my pool, even though the anchors that have been there for years and working were extended by us for them to use. 4. At this point, we're wondering: Is this some sort of master plan to get more business in the spring?? The phone calls: If you've been paying attention, I'm sure you can imagine we had some questions for this business. Michelle is apparently the scheduler *and* office manager. She admits she knows absolutely nothing about the workings of a pool, closing one, how pipes freeze, what a winterization or pool closing entails, etc. etc. As a result of her inability to discuss what we found had happened here, we asked that her boss (the owner) please call to discuss.... Michelle called us 3 times instead, to tell us this is how the do pool closings. Mind you, she didn't understand our questions and certainly couldn't answer how this wasn't causing loads of angry customers. As of 10/25/2021, my husband is still waiting for the owner to call him. So, after everything: We uncovered half the pool, drained the water down below the jets, added winter chemicals, blew out the pipes with our air compressor, dumped rv/marine antifreeze into the filter, pump, and all pipes, plugged the jets and skimmer pipe, and re-covered the pool ourselves.

When I had to take over my parents house I discovered that I needed a new roof put on the house and…read moreso I called Lyster's because I knew they were the best contractor for the job. They came to the house and worked with me to get the roof done right away . In the end they were able to do the whole roof including replacing some boards as well . They were so easy and great to work with. I got a fantastic price and so I hired them to do the job. I have never regretted hiring them to do the job and they also took the time to completely replace all the gutters too. I recently was told by another company that I was in need of a new roof and probably some boards too. The guy said that I had black mold in my attic as well. The guy was from Top Home Improvements. I had went to the Senior Expo a couple of weeks ago and they had a both there so I signed up to get a quote and roof inspection. I would never ever use that company to do anything on my house ever! The guy outright lied to me and the pictures he said that he showed me indicating that I definitely needed to get my roof replaced and have some other repairs too. In the end I showed everything to the guy from Lysters and he pointed out to me that the first pictures he had taken were of my house but the pictures he showed me of what was supposedly my with damaged shingles and supposedly some soft spots in the roof. Indicating that I also needed some boards replaced too. In the end the guy from Lysters went up on my roof and looked it completely over then said to me your roof is in great shape and he also told me that if I had a leak in the roof causing black mold to grow in there then the water leak would also have gone down to the main level of the house and I would have water spots showing up. I have no water spots anywhere in the upstairs of my home. Once again just proving that I was actually lied to. The great news was I not only didn't need a new roof at all and the one I have now is going to be fine for at least another 10 to probably 15 years. I felt so relieved because the quote from Top Home Improvement was for just under $35,000.00 ! I can assure you that if I ever need work done on my home I will never call anyone but Lyster's to do the job. As for Top Home Improvement I would never use them for any job. I'm just so angry that they outright lied to me and almost cost me a substantial amount of money that was never necessary to spend whatsoever. I guess I would say buyer beware of who you call to do important work on your home. By not getting a second opinion I would have spent a huge amount of money that wasn't really necessary at all. I have also learned that from now on before I hire any company to do work on my home I'll definitely be checking with the Better Business Bureau too. They collect information about all kinds of companies and post the reviews of what other people have had to say about the company.
