I called three mornings in a row and each time the lady answering the phone said she would give Jim my name and number and have him call me back right away! He still hasn't called back. My last message was to ask him to at least call me back or ask someone to call me back if he didn't have time to consider the work I needed done. Very disappointing.

Very disappointed in Lyman Roofing. They started out good, but NEVER FINISHED THE JOB. And are now refusing to come back and finish. It's not like there is any dispute - one section of our roof is completely exposed to the elements and Lyman has made excuses FOR ALMOST A YEAR NOW, as to why they have not finished it yet! One piece of advice - DO NOT PAY THEM THE FULL PRICE AGREED TO UNTIL --- EVERYTHING IS COMPLETED. We made the mistake of paying the 2nd half of the contract before they were done, and now, they don't care about us at all. We'll see how a trip to Small Claims Court makes them feel!

Jim and his crew installed our roof September 22’ here in Helena. They stripped the old roof and had the new one installed in three days. Cleaned up and hauled away all trash and old shingles. Great communication and fair pricing. Would recommend!

Where this page comes from
Every figure above is Google’s, captured on 24 September 2026. The star average and the 8 ratings behind it are counted by Google across all of its reviews. The review text on this page is a sample — we hold 8, of which 7 have any text — and it is not everything Google shows.
Roof Warden does not verify licenses, bonds, insurance or workers’ compensation cover, and nothing on this page should be read as though we had. Confirm those directly with the contractor and with your state or provincial licensing body before you hire anyone.
There is not much data on J Lyman Roofing. A short record here means our capture found little — not that there is nothing to find, and not that the business is new or inactive.
