Swensen OnHand Exteriors

I hired Swenson to remove a shake and shingle roof and replace it with a metal roof. I was quoted 9000 dollars. First off, two days after our brand new metal roof was installed, it rained, and our roof was leaking from one of the flashings. I had them come back. Secondly, when the roof was installed over the plywood sheeting, I could see where the waterproof paper was laid down and where it wasn’t. By then, they had already started laying down metal. Additionally, there wasn’t a drip edge that was installed. I understand that they overhung the metal roof an inch over the fascia board so as not to allow water to drip back onto the sheeting but for 9400 dollars I expected top-notch quality. Another important detail they missed was a seal that would prevent insects from entering the attic. I can see daylight from inside my attic, so that’s going to be an issue in the spring when yellowjackets and other insects are out making their nests. Plus, there are seams in my metal roof. Metal roofing panels are supposed to be continuous from the eave to the ridge cap. They did work really hard and the roof looks pretty good, and it’s not leaking anymore. However, they are definitely not professional metal roof installers. In retrospect, I would have gone with a more reputable metal roofing company.

Very conscientious of their work and neighbors. Best company that I worked with.
