Called yesterday to get a quote on some metal roofing. The call was a nightmare had to go over the estimate 4 consecutive times to get it right. The quote changed four different times by the time it was all said and done. Then got a call back the next day saying that the metal wasn’t going to be ready by the time they told me it would be. I called them back to see if they had a time frame of when it would be ready to pick up but they couldn’t tell me anything.

Lyons Roofing installed a shingle roof for me last year. I’m not sure they even normally do shingle roofs. The roof poored water when raining. Mr. Lyons came to our home two different times to try to correct problem and assured us if any more issues just call and he would be sure to forward a contract to us for warranty. More leaks and Mr. Lyons response is basically you don’t have a contract so too bad. We filed a complaint with BBB and the company will not respond. This owner is shady, lying and not a trustworthy person. We paid over 16,000.00 for a roof that leaks and has no warranty thanks to the owner in Piney Flats, TN

I went with my brother-in-law to pick up some roofing. When he got it home he discovered they had cut the panels 30 inches too short. He had to make a second trip (50 miles round trip) and they offered no apologies or rebates for their mistake.

We are very sorry you had trouble. We do our best to help customers get what they asked for. Sometimes with so many colors and sizes miscommunication can occur from customer to vendor.

THIS COMPANY IS REDICULOUS. THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME & THE LAST TIME MY COMPANY WILL EVER DO BUSINESS WITH THIS COMPANY AGAIN. WE GOT THEIR # FROM SOMEONE ELSE. I CALLED TO ORDER METAL ROOFING. I ASKED FOR A COLOR WITH BROWN IN IT & THE SALES LADY , SARA SUGGESTED A COLOR FROM WHAT SHE EXPLAINED WAS THEIR BROWN COLOR. I TOOK HER WORD. WHEN I PICKED IT UP IT WAS NOWHERE NEAR BROWN. HOWEVER I WAS NOT ABLE TO EXCHANGE RETURN NOR GET MY MONEY BACK. I TALKED TO KIM THE OWNER/MANAGER & GOT A BIG RUN AROUND. MY HUSBAND GOT HUNG UP ON & WHEN I CALLED I KEPT BEING TOLD SHE WAS NOT IN. THIS IS VERY UNPROFESSIONAL & BAD BUSINESS. WE WERE TOLD THERE WAS A COLOR CHART ONLINE AFTER WE HAD ORDERED PD & TRIED TO RETURN. HAD SARA ASKED US TO LOOK AT A COLOR CHART B4 WE HAD ORDERED INSTEAD OF PICKING THE COLOR WE WOULD NOT OF HAD ANY ISSUES. INSTEAD WE GOT THE BLAME GAME FROM KIM. NOW FROM MY EXPERIENCE AS A 30YR OWNER OF HAIR SALON & AN OWNER OF A CONTRACTING BUSINESS, U SHOULD TRY TO MAKE THE CUSTOMER HAPPY, BUT TO PUT THEM DOWN OR POINT FINGERS IS NEVER THE WAY TO SOLVE AN ISSUE. WE ARE VERY UPSET OVER THIS SITUATION & WE ARE SEEKING A LAWYER. THIS IS NO WAY TO CONDUCT BUSINESS. NOW HAD WE HONESTLY MADE THE MISTAKE WE WOULD HAVE EXCEPTED THE MISTAKE HOWEVER IT WAS AN HONEST MISTAKE ON THEIR PART. THERE WAS NO REASON WHY THEY COULD NOT HAVE HONORED AN EXCHANGE FOR THE CORRECT COLOR. WE HAVE NEVER DEALT WITH A UNPROFESSIONAL COMPANY LIKE SO BEFORE. HOWEVER LESSON LEARNED!!!! MONICA HIPPLE Kim As an owner/ manager of a company u should not lie. First my family talked very nice to u until u started defending your daughter in law or son's girlfriend whom took the order. My son was not informed about a color chart. And if your daughter in law / son's girlfriend was not high while at work we would not be going through this problem. From my understanding this is not the first, second nor third time she has messed up orders. It's fine I will have a conversation with Brad when I get over

Unfortunately in the course of a business day , there are instances that must be evaluated and judgment made. My decision was based on my staff’s training concerning custom orders. We are very cautious with these orders because they are made for specific projects and cannot be resold. The customer was advised to drop by our shop or look online for color choices. He stated he did not have time for that and to make the order in burnished slate. When he came for pick up , he did not like the color. Considering the circumstances, i did not feel that they should be refunded. We can assist in many areas , but color is the customers preference. I normally am very easy going , and try to accommodate people. There were many people in the office , customers and staff , that were witnesses to me being yelled at for over 10 mins. I explained that i was happy to talk with him, but if he continued to scream at me that i would hang up. And he did. And so did i. When his wife began to call , i was still very upset and did not want to start all over. I still stand by my decision. If a person is unsure of the color they need , there are many avenues to review the 23 colors we offer In response to the second part . It would not matter which staff member took his order. The rules are the same for custom trim. I am not going to get into personal slander involving any of my employees , whether it be family or not. And i won’t get in to personal slander involving you either. This was your first order with us , so i don’t understand how you can have any previous knowledge whatsoever about the staff in the office. You were not present , and therefore your opinion is heresay

Everything went well until I had an order conflict. The people who work in the office treated me like I was the problem. They were very unprofessional and they actually blamed the problem on me to my face when they were the ones who got my …

The only reason this is not five stars is because of Porschea’s inability to communicate. While there have been several understandable delays due to weather I would sooner have clearer communication from a brick wall, and might actually get …

They gave me what I asked for and in a timely manner. Very friendly associates. My one and only issue was, I wish I had known beforehand that I had to pickup at the Industrial Dr location. This was not my first time order with Lyons, I am a repeat customer. Just my first time ordering from the new location.

Thanks so much for the review, Tammy! Is there anything our team could have done differently to earn 5-stars?
