I am updating my review. Although it took a few months , the Lester Building Supply team did come out a day or so ago to access what is going on with our window and Patio door. As expected, attribute all to installation, and the installer will be here this weekend. We will see then if the issues are in fact installation, but at least we are making progress on the situation. I am upgrading them to 3 stars for the time being until we have a full fix.

Update ! On the 17th I received a call that a gentleman would be coming by last Friday the 24th who apparently represents Lester Supply to figure out why our bay window will not close and why it leaks water where the glass meets the frame. I am still waiting for him to arrive. It is Monday the 27th. His voice mail is of course full. Maybe if they drag it out longer I will no longer have a warranty on our windows. ?

If I could give a minus star I would. Purchased an entire home package to build from them. Patio door and bay window are junk and this company will not resolve issue. Been passed around from person to person since October of last year now. They were quick to deliver lumber and windows when I was writing checks COD...and now that there is an issue.......crickets. Manager has never called me back, salesmen Dave is MIA, Jeff called twice only to give me a number of Andy Hazelwood to call, who I have left messages with and has yet to reply. Worst experience ever

The issues with these items have nothing to do with installation. They are defects in manufacturing and should be under warranty from the window manufacturer.

Lester’s is the place to go. The professional and friendly staff make it easy to shop for what you need. Gene ALWAYS ensures you are satisfied and definitely shows his appreciation for your business. Don’t go Big Box Stores when you can go Hometown Store that goes the extra mile for your business.

I dropped off my chain saw 3 weeks ago and called to see if it was done. I was on hold 12 min before I was able to talk to someone. They said that it was and since there's no slip on it , it must of been done under warranty. I drove 40 min to Lesters to pick it up and when they gave it to me it took all of 30 seconds to determine that it was never even touched. The employee should of been absolutely certain that it was completed but instead decided to save himself 30 seconds of work which costed the customer 1 1/2 hours of his. His excuses was that he wasn't a mechanic and didn't know. Then why did he make the decision that the work was done

I used this company because southern states moved there. Coupling both companies in one building was the best thing to happen for both. It has brought a better way to give customers what they need. Feed for my animals and supplies for my home.. WOW!!!

The timeline for a roof replacement typically ranges from one to three days, depending on the size and complexity of the roof, weather conditions, and material type. Larger or more intricate roofs may take a bit longer, but we always aim for efficient, timely completion.

3. How to hire a roofing contractor?
+-

To hire a roofing contractor, start by researching local companies with good reviews and proper licensing. Request quotes from multiple contractors, verify their insurance and certifications, and ask for references. Always ensure you get a written contract that outlines the scope of work, timeline, and payment terms.

4. How to check if a roofing company is legit?
+-

Check if a roofing company is legit by verifying their business license, insurance, and local certifications. Look for memberships in professional associations, read customer reviews, and ask for recent project references. A legitimate company will be transparent and provide all documentation upon request.

5. How to choose a roofing company?
+-

When choosing a roofing company, consider their experience, customer reviews, warranty offerings, and quality of materials. Make sure they provide clear communication, detailed estimates, and a solid portfolio of completed projects. Local expertise is also a major advantage for understanding regional roofing needs.

6. How do you know if your roofing contractor is ripping you off?
+-

Warning signs that your roofing contractor might be ripping you off include vague contracts, pressure to pay large upfront deposits, lack of proper documentation, and unexplained price increases. Always ask for itemized estimates and written guarantees, and avoid contractors who avoid answering your questions directly.
