Weather Tamers replaced my windows and installed vinyl siding on my 1930s home which transformed the outside to a beautiful and maintained home. The work was flawless and the worker, I wish that I had kept his name, was professional, hard working and respectful of my home. The work was completed in a timely manner. I will be contacting Weather Tamers for a carport after my first experience. Family owned and trustworthy. Thank you!

I had weather tamer replace my roof, windows, siding, soffets and gutters in 2007. I can't say enough good about the quality of workmanship and product I received. My roof looks great. The windows are great but the siding is awesome. It has never warped , chipped, or faded since it was installed. I have it pressure washed every year and it still looks new. Use Weather Tamer. They are not cheap but you get the quality you are paying for! Best desicion I made!

Horrible horrible service, called them for an estimate and it took them for me to call two more times so they can come. They lied to my home insurance and got extra money for repairs they didnt even do. After 5 years of my house being roofer, now theyre saying they dont even have my record on file! Straight ridiculous, having to have my insurance company call them directly.And after they took a good month finishing my roof, I still ended up having a leak. Either way, they get their moneys worth from insurance company. I would NEVER recommend Weather Tamer Home Improvement and

We had Weather Tamer install a new roof on 11/13/12. The roof started leaking within the warranty period. Weather Tamer came out to address the issue on one occasion but failed to successfully stop the leaks. Our leak in the kitchen is so bad, we have to put a bucket under it to catch the rain. We started calling them to come back out to fix the problem on 2/1/17. We were informed today,3/30/17, that "we just put your file away. I thought they came out a couple of weeks ago and made repairs." Well, no one has been out to repair the roof since I started calling two months ago. We now have water

Being first time homebuyers, my finance and I purchased a home that we knew needed some initial repairs, however we were not expecting to incur the cost of replacing the roof. I wanted to thank the crew at Weather Tamer for turning a stressful situation into a beautiful remodel. They handled everything from the financing to the finished product. The work was quality and done in a timely fashion, which is a blessing this time of year when the elements are coming inside. Most of all, it was nice to finally meet a knowledgeable contractor that we felt like we could trust. Thanks again to Mike and
