    We had various vendors provide a quote to convert our porch to a four-seasons room and potentially…read morealso rebuild our second and lower level deck. The experience was initially good with Hutcherson, but turned into a nightmare. The Good: 1) Brian who did the initial review and quote was friendly and seemed like he knew what he was doing. 2) They made changes to the contract when we needed to tweak it for additional work efficiently. The Bad: 1) Lack of transparency -- the quote provided excluded things that other contractors we had come to give us an estimate included, making their estimate lower and appear cheaper. We didn't notice this until later and asked to include them (trims for windows) which made their quote actually higher than what we would have paid another contractor. 2) Pushy -- There was pressure to sign the contract and make the required $2500 deposit at signing "to get on the calendar" even though we were not in a hurry. We signed the contract and move ahead, not realizing the deposit was nonrefundable for absolutely no reason. Language in their agreement should be illegal as things happen beyond your control that might force you not to move forward on a project: "the Deposit shall be non-refundable to Customer for any reason after execution." 3) Unreasonable/Unethical behavior by owner -- Right before Christmas we had a pipe broke in our home from the extreme change in weather that caused significant damage and would require the interior to be completely gutted and rebuilt. When I reached out to Bryan, he seemed to be sympathetic but would need to "check with the owner" only to find out same day they would not consider refunding the deposit. I told Bryan we were ready to schedule the work with the $24K project in January before this event, and would also likely use them for the deck replacement which was even larger project. I asked if they would refund the deposit given these circumstances of the pipe burst outside our control and we can come back to them after the home was fully repaired. We even considered them for the restoration work internally (well over $200K) but they don't do internal work. Bryan said the owner refused, claiming that the deposit was for work related to providing the quote. I made it clear no other contractor required a non-refundable deposit to provide a quote and the contract made it clear the deposit is applied to the project costs. I cannot speak to the quality of their work since we never got to that point, but the experience with their lack of transparency in their quotes and unreasonable deposit requirements certainly serves as a warning to others. Am seriously considering taking them to court as a matter of principle since the deposit doesn't reflect actual work or costs, and a court would deem it an unfair penalty.

    This project with Hutcherson has been a nightmare. The quote and sales team was quick to get me…read morewhat I needed. After that the process has been a train wreck. Not getting my scheduled for two months then the week before Thanksgiving be told it had to be the week of Thanksgiving or they would "try" to get me on the schedule in December. Canceled family plans to get the work done. Sub contractor shows up and the is no materials to do the work. They removed my siding and pieced together the home wrap so they could make progress. Day two still no materials so the subcontractor had to drive to the supply house in Grand Rapids to pick up enough to actually get started. 95% of the work gets finished and then no word for months. Texts and calls are met with promises but no work completed. Finally at the beginning of April (yes 5months) a crew shows up and does a small portion of what is left. Due to all the time waiting for them to complete the work I was unable to get the gutters on the house which caused significant damage to the retaining walls around my home. No communication on when the rest will be completed. I had to take pictures and go to the office to actually get people scheduled to complete the work. Then because they did the work poorly I am asked to pay additional money to cover additional materials and labor. Now I have a rusty strip of metal between two white pieces of metal on the most visible part of the house. I will never recommend or use the company ever again.

Working with Cory has been absolutely phenomenal. He always goes above and beyond to provide competitive quotes while ensuring top-notch workmanship. Cory and his team are reliable, professional, and truly committed to doing the job right. We really appreciate all the hard work Cory and his team have provided for our company and our communities. Thanks for everything you do!

    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.

    When you've been in a house for a while, one of the big money things you're confronted with is a…read moreroof replacement. Fortunately I've gotten in and out of previous homes before having to tackle this but now, the time has come. After talking to several companies and reviewing proposals, I chose Smart Roofing Systems. Smart has done many homes in my neighborhood and everyone had good things to say about them. My experience was no exception. One difference I noticed about Smart vs. other companies is that instead of having a huge dumpster placed in your driveway, they used an open trailer on wheels allowing for easy removal of the debris each day. I also liked the fact that this left no marks on the asphalt driveway like some heavy dumpster can do. The crews put in extremely long days and did an amazing clean up. When you tear down a roof, shingles, nails, etc. go everywhere. The job site remained neat and the daily and final clean up was superb. Smart was extremely easy to do business with. Great, responsive communications and follow up. I tend to ask a lot of questions especially given the costs involved. Never was I left hanging. I highly recommend Smart Roofing Systems.

    Very professional owner and in addition the best manager in the field answering all of our concerns…read moreand questions we had before deciding rather quickly to use Smart Roofing Systems to remove and replace our original roof from 2004 when our home was new? Looking forward to having our old roof from 20+ years removed and replaced tomorrow, 07/24/25! Well fellow homeowners, our roof has been replaced in less than 8 hours?What is most amazing is that it was 100 degrees today in SW Michigan? What literally perfect hard workers and team removing our old roof and a professional and beautiful replacement in this 100 degree combined hot and humid day at our home in Vicksburg Michigan! I spoke in the Yelp chat with questions to the owner Richard Paige in Rockford, MI., who certainly knew all the questions he answered without hesitation and it revealed his knowledge of all the aspects we needed to know! We could not have been more impressed, and we made the decision to have our roof replaced in the very next week he was able to fit us into! A week ago our new premium was due and having our initial roof replaced today, we were able to obtain a credit of $617! Ask your agent about this because it was apparent our roof was old enough that it was raising the cost of our annual premium! We never knew that, but we must also honestly inform all homeowners that insurance companies are very concerned about possible claims because of aging roofs, which seemed fairly obvious, but it "woke us up" when faced with a 50% increase in the past 2 years? Thankfully our agent was definitely helpful and on our side in advising us we could save so much by spending a very reasonable amount with Smart Roofing out of Rockford who replied to me on the YELP APP almost immediately and the rest was history! We are now one week later very thankful this was communicated so well by the owner Richard Paige! We advise anyone in need of reducing sudden increases in homeowners premiums to do a small amount of research, and we sure hope our advice is helpful to all? Sincerely, Mike & Kathy
