Avoid Jensen Exteriors.

*AVOID THEM, POOR RESPONSE TIMES AND BROKEN WINDOWS* *UPDATE TO ORIGINAL POST: *AVOID THEM* I placed a review for Jensen on 8/9/22. Since then they have responded with no additional or helpful information on when my window will be replaced or installed. As of 8/9, I had no window installed and as of today (10/4), I STILL have no window and no information on the replacement status of my window. The estimate they provided at the beginning of August to get the window that THEY BROKE was 1-2 months. It is now October and there has been ZERO communication on when the window will be fixed or a scheduler calling to let me know when it will be installed. *ORIGINAL POST* Our contract with Jensen started in March 2022 and I will be shocked if I end up with a window before 2023 comes around. I will continue to review Jensen until I get my window. They are poor communicators, do not give priority to clients who have had long standing contracts (8 months now) and have offered nothing for the window delays that are due to their own staff damaging a brand new window. We signed a contract with Jensen back in March. We were told our window wouldn't be completed until June due to the back ups and shortages, which is fine. Come July, we still hadn't heard about our window. We called and it turns out that the window had showed up in the middle of June and that the scheduler hadn't reached out yet to schedule a time. They said the scheduler would call us back. Another week went by, the scheduler still had not called us. After another week, we called again and finally got a couple dates for the window to be installed. A week before they were supposed to come out, they asked to reschedule since the original work crew was no longer available. That was close to the middle of July. Then we ask to schedule the installation again, we couldn't get ahold of the scheduler. When they finally called us, it was to inform us that our window had broken in their warehouse. It is now 8/9. I have no new

Melissa. When I talked to you for the first time 2 days ago and explained that up to this point i had been in communication with your husband through out this process. I apologized that that the supply company broke the window when they were loading it so it had to be reordered. I told your husband at the time that happened and said I would be in contact when the new replacement came in. Due to the material and labor shortages windows have taken 1-2 months to come in and it is out of our control. We are sorry there has been a delay and are doing our best to schedule when materials arrive.

Would not recommend this “campany.” Hired Jensen’s and got a sub-contractor.
Reply from the business
Our campany has a multiple owner involvement on all projects. All of our crews have been with us for many years and we choose to hire them as subs not as direct employees so we can pass the savings onto our customers not the government.

I would give a zero if that were an option. Hired Jensen Exteriors to install roof deck, sub-facia, and standing seam steel roof on brand new building based on reviews and the reputation of the original owner of Jensen Exteriors. Sadly, reliance on those turned out to be a mistake. First and foremost, Jensen Exteriors does not do their own work and sub-contracts out. We didn't find out until well into the project and problems had already begun with the installation. Had we known this, we would have not hired them in the first place. There were significant communication issues, resulting in mistakes and a poor installation. In the end: 1) the roof that was installed was not the correct roof system; 2) Jensen failed to order the correct length and was 2 inches short of full coverage; and 3) did not make sure their sub-contractor installed the roof to manufacturer specifications (which it wasn't). Jensen Exteriors has not accepted any responsibility for the errors and refuses to give a written warranty. ***WARNING.... if a company won't give you a written warranty, even though their website claims a "10 year warranty" DO NOT HIRE THEM.*** There is nothing to make them honor a verbal warranty. We were told our payment was proof and any warranty claim would be decided on a "case-by-case" basis. The other reviewers might not know they don't have a leg to stand on for this supposed "warranty" when Jensen Exteriors won't give a written one that clearly describes their policy. Now it is to the Contractor's Board and Court to force responsibility for incorrect materials and poor workmanship. The saga, in a nutshell, is we ordered a specific roof system designed by the manufacturer for a low-slope flat roof, based on research of the roof manufacture's website. The first sign of trouble was the wrong underlayment being ordered by Jensen and installed by the sub-contractor during the "drying in" process (where the underlayment keeps the rain out until the permanent roof

Rick I understand your frustration and I'm sorry things didn't go as planned for your project. Our customer was Glen Hayden the builder and your warranty was through him and I know that it has since expired. Our only contracted portion of this project was the roof.

Tried 5 times to get an appointment. When I finally did, when I called to confirm they had somebody else at that time. Very frustrating. Would have liked to at least tried their services.

My husband and I had our roof replaced summer of 2025 (meant to do this review last year)and we have been incredibly happy. They did a fabulous job! Very professional and kind. We recently called them out for a simple job and the responsiveness was incredible. Price was reasonable and very competitive. We highly recommend!

The roofers were great. They showed up on time , worked hard and were done sooner than expected. Everything looks great and they communicated really well. Recommended to anybody.

We recently had our 20×40 carriage house roof re-shingled. Jensen's crew of four removed all of the old roofing (2-3 layers) re-sheathed some of the needed areas and added fascia. I've never seen four people work so hard or fast. Rain was forecast for that evening. The crew worked 11hrs. and completed the project before the rain hit. One day! Very impressive.

Professional efficient workers! They did an excellent job! The materials they used for high-quality, and the owner came by when they were finished to make sure everything was done correctly! Brand new roof in two days!

Jensen replaced our roof and even lowered the quoted price. The shingles are of great quality and they kept promises such as dates of instalation. The workers wete fast and proficient. They made the lawns and driveway spotless. I could not have asked for anyone better.

We have now used Jensen exteriors twice. They did such a good job the first time we had them return for a second project. Their prices were fair and the people that did the work were extremely courteous. One actually stopped what he was doing and came to help me when he saw my hands were full. They did meticulous clean up when they were done and the only sign they were ever there was a brand new roof.
