Waiting for doors but love.

Sawyer did my bathroom shower and floor remodel on Roger st in Portage. Paid very close attention to detail. his helper was great also. was clean organized and courteous. Thank you.

New walk in Acrylic Shower

I was in the market for an updated wet space in my upstairs bathroom... Home Depot sent out Sir Home Improvement to give me a quote and to go over everything that I want/ Don't want... the price was definitely high at the first initial quote, but ended up getting it down to a more reasonable price by removing some features and buying my own. The salesman put down chrome shelf for the shower for some reason and said he would have it corrected for me going forward, project manager that came out said he did not change it on the paperwork and still had them down as chrome shelf's so he would fix it... the installer came out and they still didn't have the correct shelf that we wanted down for some reason, but Carter the installer was amazing and got it fixed up for me! Carter is a 1/ million employee that's hard to get these days, his partner and himself had the demo and shower done in 1 day despite some setbacks and hoops they had to endure! I absolutely love the shower that Carter put in, he's extremely particular in his measurements and making sure everything fits and goes together well while looking amazing! Day 2 they sent a floor installer out to put down new floor, the floor looks nice that they used, some minor cleanup issues with the floor install, but there's so much that goes into these jobs that it just happens being human... So far, I'm impressed with this company and I would recommend them and will definitely be doing future business with them as I will be needing new floor and an updated bathroom wet space downstairs next time! Another perk is the energy program that comes free with them, it may not be a ton of savings per year on energy, but anything helps and the technician for the energy program was super kind and professional at his job! Thanks again!

Calking around the window doesn't look great,

I contracted with SIR to replace my tub with a walk-in shower, remove wainscoting, install a new medicine cabinet, light fixture, and hanging cabinet in my small bathroom. This was in May 2024. They were friendly and arrived when expected, but the quality of work wasn't great. These were the main issues: 1) When removing the wainscoting, the guy broke off about six inches of my window frame and a huge chunk of my door frame. He said nothing about it. I had to call SIR and they replaced the frames, but then I had to re-paint the walls. 2) The calk around the window is bumpy and looks bad. 3) The drywall guy decided to drywall my ceiling to smooth out some grooves. That was a nice thought, but I was 20 feet away from him all day and he should have asked me. I would have said no - since he applied the drywall, I had to paint the ceiling. I'd had spine surgery recently and can't tilt my head back very far. It took 4 months before I had healed enough to paint it finally. 4) They installed a small vent in the wall, but the hole was too big and the vent hangs loose so you can see the jagged hole in the drywall behind it. 5) flooring has lines against the grain so it looks defective. 6) I noticed that the workers kept their tools on my new shower floor (my bathroom is small) and I figured they knew what they were doing. But after they were gone I noticed a scratch in the shower. You can only see it up close, but I wanted to make sure it wouldn't cause a problem. A guy from SIR came out to check and said it was too deep for him to fix. He also found another one. He said he'd put in a work order, but it's been several weeks and I haven't heard back from them, so I'll have to call. 7) There was some poor communication and other minor issues too numerous to mention. I will try to load some pictures of the sub-par work. I do believe that if I had contacted SIR about all of these issues they would have taken care of them. I just didn't want to have to deal with it anymore. I only have the one bathroom and I work from home, so it was a hassle. I was surprised that the PM didn't do a walkthrough when it was done.

Do the job right the first time. Stop overcharging for crap service and supply. Stop making false promises to customers.

Many contractors can make a roof/siding project look good upfront, but how to they stand behind…read moretheir work? In high winds we had a piece of siding come off. They responded within 2 hours on a warranty work order to remedy the problem (during the wind storm) and check the house for any other potential issues. No questions asked, no hassle about it being 'an extreme event'. Just took my call, dispatched a laborer, job done. We contracted Lyster to replace our roof and siding in 2015. They did a fantastic job. They gave great support on developing scope and estimate on the roof per how we where using the house. We have a converted attic to living space and as such we had ice damming issues that led to the need for a new roof. They went above code on ice protection and modified the roof deck to ventilate 'as best as possible' per our use of the space. Wonderful communication, great project management, easy to work with on issues that are always bound to come up on renovations. I will admit they were not our low bidder, but their price was reasonable and their workmanship and support of their work was worth the price. You get what you pay for.

After…read moreinvestigation, it was determined that poor construction was the main cause, but the insurance company gave us a quote for total roof replacement. SG gave us a quote to match the insurance quote, but with an agreement that there would be additional cost to correct the initial poor construction. The day the roof replacement began, pictures were taken and were sent to the insurance company along with an estimate for the work needed for the repairs. SG was successful in soliciting the insurance company to cover all of the repairs, and we ended up with a beautiful new roof. Thank you SG for a job well done. The workers did a great job with minimal disruption. They were friendly, quick and efficient. I recommend SG to anyone needing roof repairs.

After installation, we began experiencing water intrusion issues that were not present before. This…read morewinter did bring more severe ice dams than we have experienced in past years; however, the leakage has occurred only in specific areas of the home. In reviewing those areas, we observed visible gaps between the drip edge and the gutters. Other sections of the home, where the gutter and drip edge align properly, do not show the same issues. The gutter installation appears inconsistent, with some sections installed correctly and others not. When we reported the problem, the company recommended using a roof rake and applying salt to manage ice buildup. This was not something we had ever needed to do previously, but we followed their guidance and took those steps as instructed. We were later told that the gutters were installed "the best they could be" due to existing fascia and rafter conditions, and that wire was used in some locations instead of straps. We were never notified during the installation that these conditions existed, nor were we given the opportunity to discuss alternative solutions or address them at the time. Additionally, we did not receive a post-installation inspection or walkthrough. (Despite requesting one when we received our invoice three or four weeks later.) Had we been informed of the installation challenges or provided a final inspection, we could have addressed concerns earlier and potentially avoided additional damage. We understand our home is older and that renovation projects can uncover unexpected issues. However, clear communication and transparency are especially important in those situations. We chose this company in part because of the many positive reviews and the reputation they have built. We understand that mistakes can happen on any project. What matters most to us is how those issues are communicated and addressed. In this case, we expected the same level of integrity and accountability through challenges as is shown during successful projects. We are sharing this review to provide an honest account of our experience and to encourage clearer communication, transparency around installation challenges, and post-installation inspections for future customers. We were never notified of fascia or gutter issues when we discussed the job nor was it in the estimate or notes. We did discuss the age of the gutters at which point I asked if they should be replaced before or during install and was told no, they wouldn't affect anything. We removed the snow as instructed immediately. We applied salt. We asked up front if the gutters were moved and/or lowered during install and were told yes. And I watched them move them as I was home during the install. We're not asking for much, just accountability and honesty. And the first substantial snowfall in Portage, Michigan was November 29 when we received nine inches. Then into early December. On December 7, we noticed the first leaks and I reached out that day with photos. Nothing was inspected when someone came out after that and we were told to apply salt and rake the roof, which we did. The statement about weeks later is highly inaccurate. And the leak was immediately after, there was no "pulling down" of the gutters.
