Lon Smith Roofing has been great during the whole process. Clayton was very friendly and knowledgeable during the initial meeting and David was also very friendly and thorough with the inspection and walk through. The price on the impact resistant shingles was surprisingly low and the finished roof looks great. I'm very pleased. Services: Gutter installation, Roof installation

I called Lon Smith Roofing and their inspector came out the next day. He inspected the roof, wrote up a detailed report as to when the damage occurred, worked with my insurance company's adjuster and within a few days, their crew came out and completed replacing the roof in 1 day. They left the area clean - absolutely no mess. I was really anxious about the 'process' but, they made it easy and understandable and now, I have a 40-year warranty roof. I was impressed with their entire organization from the initial contact with their inspector to the doff personnel.

These folks were recommended by our realtor and I could. It have been happier with their services. Professional, prompt service and saved us an entire roof repair buyers were trying to get us to replace in their offers to buy our house. As anyone can tell you how expensive replacing an entire roof can be especially with the current economic crisis of supply and demand (thanks pandemic era) our roof repair with this company saved us thousands of dollars and even accepted payment upon closing of our house so we didn't have to worry about paying upfront with estimates and the final bill which was only hundreds of dollars. This could not have been a smoother transition and business deal. I miss Texas!

Lon Smith did a great job from the initial contact for inspection of my roof, and all the way to the completion of the job. Paul was very professional and upfront with the cost of the repair, answered questions about materials and the options available, and ensured I obtained the best service available. Any time I had questions about the completed installation, Paul and Miguel were able to answer questions quickly and get any issues resolved. I appreciate their professionalism and I would recommend Lon Smith to friends and co-workers.

When your neighbor recommends a service- they must be great! Indeed it was. From the time I called Lon Smith Roofing to getting my roof repaired it took no time at all. Clayton completed his inspection and provided a detailed explanation and options for our leaky roof as well as for our second floor ventilation issue. Within days we had a detailed quote, reasonable pricing, repairs, new ventilation system and piece of mind. The crew took great care and did a wonderful job. We are extremely satisfied and will call Lon Smith Roofing for all future needs.

Roofing crew nocked water heater and furnace vent loose and didn't even bother to check after finishing roof leaving attic exposed to carbon monoxide. Called field inspector assigned to my roof Install, told me he would be by later that day(Fri) and reconnecting show or call so reconnected myself. Steven finally shows up to collect check (and put on a good face as though he followed up with his crew)Tuesday with 20 point Inspection sheet but never did proper follow thru with his crew.
When I mentioned vent for water heater and furnace being nocked loose he made excuses. Make sure if you use Lon Smith roofing that you check your vents before they leave your property very hard to get roofing company to follow thru. **Gary from Lon Smith roofing called me and apologized for the way things were handled and came out within an hour and addressed our concerns and made sure everything was taken care of. Gary Thanks for taking the time to listen and making thing right.**

I highly recommend Lon Smith Roofing because they go above & beyond expectation to ensure their customer is happy. -My Salesperson, Paul, was the only one from three different companies, to point out my roof needed additional ventilation. He was very knowledgeable & thorough during his presentation ensuring I understood the details so I could make an informed decision. -The experienced Installation Crew completed the job in one day.
They started early by protecting my landscape and worked late leaving my property in good condition. -Mario, the Project Inspector, arrived at the beginning of the installation and returned later to ensure the project was on target. Although there was a materials delivery hiccup, it was quickly resolved to my satisfaction. Upon completion, during the 20 point inspection appointment, Mario even painted a black vent grey so it would match the rest of the vents! Lon Smith Roofing was easy to work with, honest and had my best interest in mind.

My wife and I built our dream home in the fall of 2020. Our house got hit by some pretty decent sized hail last week and I was concerned about the damage to our brand new roof. 4 different roofers were at our doorstep the next day telling me to file and claim and we needed a new roof. Garrett and Lon Smith came recommended from a client of mine so I gave him a call. Garrett came out within 2 days and looked at our roof and was extremely honest with me.
He didn't advise having a claim filed, which four other roofers had tried to pressure me into filing a claim. He did show me some of the damage but was very thorough in explaining why he didn't recommend it for our house and what we should be looking out for in the future. I really appreciated his honesty, approach, and professionalism. Garrett and Lon Smith roofing saved me money and a claim on my insurance. The next time we experience a bad storm, Garrett and his team will be my first and only call!

Our experience with Lon Smith Roofing couldn't have been any better! My husband and I were hoping to find a reputable and dependable company to walk us through the daunting process of a new roof and gutters from beginning to end. Our inspector Alan was knowledgeable and thorough. He did a terrific job coordinating with our Farmer's adjuster. The process was lined out and went exactly as expected. We can't believe how quick and painless the entire process was. Our new roof and gutters are beautiful. We highly recommend Lon Smith Roofing.

My experience working with Lon Smith Roofing was very professional and enjoyable. The quote process was transparent and quick. My sales representative was open and honest about my options. The installation process was seamless. There was an inspector onsite and available throughout the process to ensure I had all my questions answered and the job was being done correctly. The only negative was there was some trash and nails left on my patio cover which eventually made it's way into my yard that I had to clean up; very minor.

While the roofing portion of my insurance claim and experience with Lon Smith went rather smoothly, their ability to handle the window replacement portion of my claim was abysmal. Three confirmed appointments where the contractor no showed and one day where an unidentified contractor showed up, with no identification, couldn't connect himself to Lon Smith, etc. my window is still not fixed and has taken over three months to attempt to resolve. Ultimately, we have ended our agreement with no remorse or reparations from Lon Smith and I now must go source another vendor to complete the repairs to my home. Lon Smith has done work for my family for over 30 years but will no longer be servicing our needs due to the absolute lack of concern or respect during this unfortunate experience.

This company may or may not be a capable and dependable roofing company. What is dependable is that EVERY TIME I pause listening to WBAP (820 AM) on iHeartRadio due to a phone call or other interruption, I have to sit through their dumb commercial before I get the radio feed back. This has nearly completely ruined the radio experience. I have no idea how WBAP allows this, but as a Ft Worth business owner this 'bully pulpit' ad approach is a huge turn off and I would never use this company.

During some heavy rain in August, what turned out to be a multi-year leak in my roof caused a portion of the ceiling in a bedroom to collapse, allowing water to drip on furniture. I called as soon as I discovered it. Even though it was after regular business hours, they sent someone to patch the roof within an hour. I turned to them again to do the work prescribed by the insurance adjuster and am very pleased with the results. Everyone with whom I dealt was professional, courteous, and thorough. This was not my first experience with this company, and I will continue to call in them when needed.

Everyone that we worked with was polite, respectful, professional, and competent. it was as good of an experience as a roof replacement could be. They were willing to do an initial inspection of the roof and have someone available to meet with the insurance adjustor when he did his inspection. They worked directly with our insurance company. The inspectors were great about keeping me up to date on what was going on. They cleaned up all of their mess and finished the job in a timely manner. If we need another roof in the future, they will be our first call.

This is the only company I have ever written a review on, as most people do not live up to my expectations. This is the 2nd time I have used Lon Smith Roofing, the first one was about nine years ago for another hail damaged roof. The office staff, inspector, supervisor, and work crew could not have been more knowledgeable, customer service oriented, friendly helpful, professional, and courteous. They were and are a great company to work with, especially Charles Hill (estimator). I highly recommend using their services, as I will do so myself if the situation arises (hopefully not to soon though).

I have to give a low rating because when someone says they finished the job - you expect it to be done. My roof repair was minor. You could look out the window and see the drip edge that was suppose to be installed was not there. They sent someone out to inspect, agreed the work was not completed - then much later sent someone to finish the work.

After the severe hail storm in North Texas in April this past year, I was searching for a good roof replacement company. Lon Smith came recommended to me by a family friend who also had to have his roof replaced. Matt Peterson, sales manager with Lon Smith, came to evaluate the damage on my roof, along with an agent from my insurance company. Matt was friendly, kind, honest, and direct. I had a clear sense he had great expertise in roofing and the business.
He worked with me to schedule replacement of my roof with an even stronger material, for a decent price. I was very happy with the workmanship, professionalism, and results. I highly recommend Lon Smith Roofing!

Our roof was recently replaced by Lon Smith Roofing. We chose Lon Smith Roofing after researching and having 3 other companies give us an estimate. We felt comfortable choosing them because they provided the Supplier "LIEN WAIVER" Letter, the general liability insurance certificate, and financial stability letter. They are certified installers, have been in business for many years, and were the only company not to require cash up front. Jon Parish did not ask to see what our insurance offered first and provided an estimate that nearly matched what our insurance company agreed to pay. We are very impressed with their level of professionalism and this includes Jon, Jannett, David, and Lois. Their work and quality inspection walk through were excellent. We highly recommend them.

Matt's crew arrived at 8am and hit the roof like a hurricane. It took them about an hour to completely remove all the old shingles. It was amazing to watch them work. I really cannot recommend these guys enough. The best part of the whole experience was they replaced my whole roof in 1 day!

Our house was hit by a tornado a few months back. It was right before the E5 hit Garland and Rowlett. I was still waiting to hear back from my insurance claim when tornados tore through North of Dallas. I thought it would be impossible to get my minor repairs done at a time when every roofing contractor was being called to an area of total devastation. Lon Smith took my call and within 48 hours had an Esitmator on site climbing my roof.
Their estimate was much lower than expected and within a week they were on site and completed. I felt terrible tying up a contractor with my minor repairs when two towns over they were completely devastated. Lon Smith assured me they were not pulling resources from that area and were able to meet the needs of both of our communities. I pray this is my first and last experience with a tornado, but I can tell you I would call Lon Smith again without hesitation.

Had a roof leak on a 16x12 shed that turned into a rotten deck. Needed a full reroofing and redecking in the rotten sections. Lon Smith Roofing was out within 8 days of our call even though we had 4 days of rain in between. Totally professional and on time when they said they would be. Scope of work was performed exactly how they said it would. Great job on the roof and great customer service with a thank you card sent by mail and a follow up call to ask how we felt the job went. We had nothing but positive results from our call to Lon Smith.
