Can’t say enough good things about Lyle and his team! We had an emergency roof leak, and he came right out, got us a very reasonable quote, and fixed it right away!! I hope we never have another problem like this again, but if we do, I’m definitely calling him!!!

Highly recommend ERS Roofing. They did good work at a fair cost. Lyle is responsive and easy to work with. The video he provided helped us better understand the roof issues and what needed to be done. We plan to use them again for future roofing projects.

Making multiple trips to the property as well as creating repair video demonstrating the work needed. I highly recommend ERS roofing and will most Certainly use them in the future.

Lyle with ERS is absolutely incredible! He is professional in every sense of the word. Once he reviewed my roof damage and we agreed on the course of action, he took over and drove the process through the insurance claim process and on to roof installation. He kept me informed through every step of the process and did a wonderful job!
