    I would not recommend using this company unless you have a simple project, and even then, beware of what you were told vs. what will actually be done. We had our roof replaced and were under the impression that the soffit and fascia would …

    We appreciate you sharing this and are sorry the experience fell short of what you expected. Every contract we write is specific to the scope discussed and signed. Soffit and fascia are separate line items from a roof replacement, and our team is trained to walk through each element clearly before anything is signed. We also want to clarify that financing terms, including billing timelines, are determined by the lender upon approval and are outlined in the financing agreement at the time of signing. We take both of these concerns seriously and have reached out directly. We would welcome the opportunity to connect and make this right, please don’t hesitate to email us at wecare@homegeniusexteriors.com or call 866-583-3957.

    I would not recommend Home Genius based on my experience. From the beginning, communication and project management were disappointing. My roof installation took two full days, yet the project manager, Bradd, was only on-site for about two hours on the first day. I was then told he would not be returning for the second day because there was a "bigger job" elsewhere—even though my project was already experiencing issues. One of my biggest concerns was safety. After the first day, the crew left exposed nails, shingles, and other hazardous debris throughout my yard. I specifically discussed my concern about nails with the project manager because I have a dog, but the issue was not addressed. They also left numerous nails in my driveway, more than 30 feet away from the dumpster, making it clear that cleanup was not thorough. The crew also caused unnecessary property damage. They damaged plants in my raised garden bed located underneath my carport, left my fenced gate open, damaged three of my 2 week old window air conditioning units, and disconnected my exterior gutters without reconnecting them or even notifying me. When I raised these concerns, I was told I would receive a discount because of the problems. However, two weeks after the project was completed, I still hadn't received any information about the amount or how the discount would be applied. I reached out to the project manager, who read my message but never responded. I eventually had to contact another employee just to get an answer. Overall, the workmanship on the roof is acceptable, but the project management, communication, cleanup, and respect for my property were far below what I expected from a professional roofing company. The lack of accountability and poor communication throughout the process made what should have been a straightforward roof replacement a frustrating experience.

    If you can choose someone else, choose them instead. They didn't do a bad job on our roof but some of the work didn't get done. The roofers weren't very professional. Clean up after the job was done was terrible. Do your homework before you choose them

    I agreed to get a free quote, when the guy came to my door last week. Scheduled a guy to come today Sunday 1/4/26. The guy assured me that they won’t be calling me at all besides for the one time the day before to confirm. Lo and behold I got multiple calls and texts from them, first to try to reschedule me for an earlier date, second, I don’t even know since it was a bad time for me to talk and i told the lady that it was a bad time since I was in the middle of something but she had so much disrespect and continued with her questions, saying this will be quick (I picked up because I thought she was calling to confirm which shouldn’t take more then a few seconds, and that was ok). She wanted to know if we just wanted the roof inspected even though I had already told them I want the whole exterior done as well. Then she went on rambling about something of not having sports games or something, I interrupted her again saying it was a bad time for me to talk, we have nothing else scheduled for that time so we’ll be home, I’ll see their guy on Sunday and hung up. In the meantime I continued getting text messages from them letting me know of my upcoming appointment at 10. But I had scheduled it at 12 not at 10 so not sure what that was about. Then finally this morning, the day the guy was supposed to come, I get a call that they have to cancel due to not having a guy being able to come out or something idk and if they ever do get someone they’ll call me to reschedule, makes no sense. Anyways, they lost a potential customer before they even started.

    We had a roof installed by this company. When it was finished, the color, which was supposed to match or be close to a dark charcoal gray, was a light silver gray. They said we picked the color and signed the contract. The workers also left debris from the job everywhere. They also stomped on flowers in my flower bed. We were very disappointed in the color of the roof and the entire experience. We would not recommend this company.

    Reply from the business

    Michele, we aim to provide clear communication and a five-star experience for every home we serve. After reviewing your project, we confirmed that the color selected is outlined in your signed contract. That said, we are truly sorry the finished color did not match your expectations. Metal manufacturers offer a limited set of color options, and from our understanding, the selection was made together with your representative. If we can help clear up any misunderstanding or talk through next steps, please reach out to us at wecare@homegeniusexteriors.com or 866-583-3957. We’re here to help.

    I was suppose to have gutters replaced. Was scheduled a day and time on Tuesday Oct 28,2025. No show. Called main number , then call back said men had flat tire....would be here Oct 29, 2025 at or before noon. Again all day no show no calls. I again had to call main number. Then and only then did I get a call. Then. BRADD said he had a conversation with me later saying he told me weather permitting. That was not the conversation. Getting a refund. Would not recommend at all. For several reasons take deposit and no show no call and then lie to cover their mistake.

    Teresa & Bob, we’re truly sorry to hear about the experience you described and the communication delays surrounding your gutter installation. That’s not the level of service we expect or promise. We left a voicemail to apologize directly, but please know your feedback helps us do better moving forward.

    Jerry, courteous, thorough, and focused on getting it right, Sergey Cook clearly took your project seriously. Home Genius Exteriors thanks you for sharing this.

  • 5 out of 5Kyler Schaner18 hours ago

    I would for sure recommend Home Genius Exteriors for any Home improvement project. Our project manager Sergey Cook kept us well informed during our roof job over the two day period and worked with us on any issues that came up. They also installed some roof vents and now my attic isn't super hot in the summer anymore. The crew cleaned up after the job was done and my roof looks great now. Can't thank Sergey and the team enough for the help.

    Reply from the business

    Kyler, an attic that's finally comfortable in the summer is one of those upgrades you don't fully appreciate until it's done, and pairing that with a clean site and clear communication from Sergey makes for a project that just works. Staying on top of issues as they come up over a two day job is exactly what keeps homeowners informed instead of guessing. Thank you for recommending Home Genius Exteriors and for calling out Sergey's help by name.

  • 5 out of 5Hanna Holly23 hours ago

    We had all new gutters done which was done in one day. Sergey Cook (project manager) communicated with us throughout the project. They were quick and efficient with no issues. The gutters look great!

    Reply from the business

    New gutters finished in a single day with zero issues is the kind of efficiency that speaks for itself, and Sergey keeping the communication flowing throughout made sure nothing felt uncertain along the way. Gutters that look great at the end are the natural result of a project run that smoothly.

    Tammy, being nice while answering every question with real knowledge shows the kind of preparation that builds trust throughout a project.

    Allen, having Sergey Cook check in throughout the siding project shows a level of oversight that clearly paid off, and the crew's willingness to work through those extra details you needed adds even more weight to the recommendation. Home Genius Exteriors takes note of feedback like this, since combining decent pricing with great service and a team that adapts to specific requests is exactly the balance every project should strike.

    Kim, window replacement done well takes a crew that stays busy and a manager who stays available, and it sounds like Sergey and the team delivered both. We are glad the whole experience felt pleasant from start to finish, and we thank you for choosing Home Genius Exteriors.

    I was on the fence about getting my siding done, but it needed to happen and I was offered a good deal with the financing.

    John, being on the fence about a siding project is normal, but landing on a good deal with financing that made the decision easier is exactly the kind of nudge that helps. Glad you moved forward and got it taken care of!

    We had roof work and new shingles put on. The men worked fast and were very diligent. Everything was cleaned up afterward. Amazing.

    Reply from the business

    Wanda, speed and diligence don't always show up in the same crew, so it's great that combination came through on your roof. A clean job site at the end says a lot about how much pride goes into the work, and that's the standard Home Genius Exteriors aims for every time. Thank you for sharing this.
