    Had to call 5 times trying to get them to come out to help my tenant with a roof issue. Had to provide the same info over and over and never got the appt. Very frustrating experience.

    Your tenant would not call us back to tell us when she would be available, we did our best. We wish you luck.

    Very unprofessional - barely looked at the issue of the leak and after nearly four months of back and forth, mainly initiated by me, they became unresponsive. They never completed the work even though we were "up soon" or "next" on their list of houses. I ended up having to hire another contractor. Communications overall was poor.

    This company doesn't know what customer service is about! If they can't do what they say they are going to do then it's not a good company at all. Very dissapointing! Here's how my experienced went down. First call was Sun, 7/22. Somebody answered which was positive and was told somebody will call on Monday. Monday came no call. Tuesday I called again got answering machine. Called on Wednesday and was told somebody will reach out in 15 minutes. Wednesday went by no call. Thursday somebody called at 10:30 am to ask about the property and problems and then i was told he'll call back in 15 minutes. No call UNTIL 6:05 p.m. I asked me if we are available Saturday, 7/28, for an inspection and I said we should but I'll confirm the time. And I asked if I can text him to confirm which he said yes. At 8pm I text to confirm Saturday is a go. Got a text back from their employee that he will not be able to make the appointment because it's a two story home. Are you kidding me?!!! We spoke about the house issue, etc. and now you are telling me that your truck is broken and you can't do two story homes! Unbelievable. Here's the icing on the cake. On the text last night is said, "I will refer you to my boss and he will call you". Well guess what? At least they are consistent. Because as of 5:50 p.m. today, I have yet to get a call! I'm a firm believer if a company can't do what it says it's going to do then that company is running a bad business. I can just imagine what kind of service I will get from Lysons which I'm sure will suck!

  • 5 out of 5Leah Hopke5 days ago

    We had a leak in our roof after a storm with heavy wind and rain. Tom was at our house the next day to assess the damage and provide an estimate to repair. After we approved the estimate, his team was out the next morning to repair. They are prompt and professional.

  • 5 out of 5Harold SaltersEdited a week ago

    Totally professional and did a great job on our roof. Have used them for years. I consider them a very good value. Prompt and always keep their appointments. Keep you in the loop every step. Roof workers above and beyond on post-job …

    Very happy with the process and work done. If all goes well, I won't need a other roof for 50 years!

    That’s right, we will see you again to replace that roof in Alexandria sometime in the late 2070s!

    You chose colors well, the house looks great!

  • 5 out of 5David Hunt3 weeks ago

    The Lyons folks were very accommodating, and came the next day to assess the problem. Tom was very knowledgeable, friendly and clear in his assessment. Tom got the roof flashing fixed very quickly on another day and didn't need our presence while they did the work. A very good experience with Tom and Lyons !!! A+ Dave H

    We are very pleased with the service we received from Lyons Contracting. Our contact was polite and professional; he was very familiar with the problem the satellite dish on our roof was causing. The estimate was reasonable and the work was done in a timely and complete fashion.

    Lyons Contracting was recommended to me by a friend and they have 100% lived up to the great reputation they've built for themselves in the Alexandria/Old Town area. Tom & crew came out to identify and fix a leak in my metal roof. They were …

    Thanks Matt! We really appreciate your patience through the weather, your metal roof is good to go!

  • 5 out of 5Katherine Irmer5 months ago

    I cannot say enough good things about Tom, his guys and his work. He did a full slate roof replacement on our home along with flat roof replacement and insulation and removed our weird skylight. Our roof is now the best roof in the neighborhood, we paid a great price and Tom took care of our family throughout.

Summer is a season many homeowners look forward to, but it's also one of the toughest times of year for your roof. Intense UV rays, scorching temperatures, heavy rainstorms, hail, and high winds can all take a toll on your roofing system. While some damage is easy to spot, other warning signs can go unnoticed until they turn into costly repairs or even a full roof replacement. Knowing what to look for can help you protect your investment and prevent minor issues from becoming major problems. If you're searching for an experienced arlington roofing contractor, understanding these signs of summer roof damage is the first step toward keeping your home safe.Jul 30, 2026Learn more
