Second To None Exteriors

Second to None did a great job on our roof and gutters. We recommended them to 3 neighbors and the owner paid us $100 each for the referrals. They were great communicators and showed up when they said they were. I would recommend them again, without reservation.

We had a hail damage on our roof, siding and gutters. Mike showed all the damages to us. When the first insurance agent didn’t cover all the damages, Mike tirelessly worked with the insurance company and came when the second insurance agent showed up. Worked with him to cover every piece of the area with a fine tooth comb so nothing was missed. Mike even cross checked all the minute details to make sure insurance covered all the damages to the smallest detail. His teams did a fabulous job on roofing, siding and gutters. He even came with his inspector to make sure work was done to the perfection. He educated us on other things and saved money with his recommendations. We trust and respect Mike immensely and would recommend to anyone needed.

Mike and his team do amazing work. They show up on time and they get the job done the quality and craftsmanship go above and beyond if you’re looking for a quality roofing and restoration service second to none is your contractor.

I had Mike and the guys put on a new roof, siding, and gutters. Work was, well, Second to None. The crew was amazing! Organized, Professional, and Local. I would def recommend these guys.

Mike and his crew were fantastic. Anytime I had a question he was there. Most the time he answered his phone on the first ring, and if he didn’t answer, he got back to me in a very timely manner. I felt very comfortable with him and his knowledge of insurance claims. He made what could have easily been a nightmare a very positive experience. I would highly recommend him and his crew.

Working with Second to None was not just disappointing—it was infuriating.

What should have been a straightforward storm restoration job turned into a drawn-out circus of incompetence, deception, and pure avoidance of responsibility. And at the center of it all? The owner, Mike—a man who clearly isn't to be trusted with someone's home. Let me be crystal clear: the problems with this company stem directly from Mike’s lack of accountability, leadership, and professionalism.

After our home was hit by a devastating hailstorm, we hired Second to None based on promises that were either outright lies or meaningless sales fluff. Mike promised “top-quality workmanship” and “an all-American crew.” What we got was rushed, sloppy labor done by crews who couldn't communicate with us (despite the patriotic sales pitch), zero scheduling transparency, and damage to our property before the job even started.

Here’s a rundown of how Mike personally failed at every turn:
He let crews show up unannounced—sometimes before 6AM—without so much as a text or call. Our gate was forcibly opened and damaged on day one. Mike? Nowhere.

He allowed major errors to go unchecked, including forgetting to order and install J-channel for the siding. Instead of taking responsibility he blames a coworker for forgetting.
When we confronted him with glaring installation mistakes, such as crooked siding and misaligned fixtures, he tried to gaslight us—saying our home was just “built that way.” Once again, we had to prove otherwise with our own photos. That’s when he reluctantly agreed to fix it—but never once admitted fault.
He argued constantly instead of leading. Any time we brought up an issue, he fought back with excuses instead of owning his mistakes like a professional. Leadership means solving problems, not blaming others and hoping the customer backs down.

He placed a lien on our home before the work was even complete. Per our contract, we paid half upfront and were to pay the rest when the job was finished. Instead, Mike used legal pressure to extract payment before the job was done—then ghosted us until we got a lawyer involved.

He had to redo the same work multiple times—including re-installing our siding four separate times due to his team’s careless work. FOUR. Each time, Mike had to be dragged back into the conversation kicking and screaming.

Mike, if you're reading this: you are the single greatest liability in your company. You don’t take responsibility. You don’t communicate. You don’t show leadership. And worst of all, you don’t seem to care unless the law is involved or someone hands you undeniable proof that your team has failed. That’s not how a contractor operates—that’s how a con artist dodges accountability.

This experience was a total letdown, made worse by the fact that every issue could have been avoided if the person in charge had the backbone to own up to mistakes and actually fix them without a fight. Instead, Mike chose to argue, deflect, and disappear.

Bottom line: Avoid Second to None at all costs. Not just because the work is subpar, but because the man running it is unreliable, unaccountable, and unfit to be trusted with your home.

Very happy with Mike and his company. Our house looks great with new roof, siding and gutters . We took Mikes advise on colors and it turned out perfect. He is a very reliable person to work with. Would highly recommend Second to None

Mike and his team did an incredible job! Mike came out when the insurance agent showed up to show every piece of damage in our roof and siding. Picked through it with a fine-toothed comb to make sure nothing was missed. Stayed on top of the insurance company to
Make sure very detail was correct. His team did a phenomenal job on the roof and siding and saved us money in certain areas. Mike earned so much of my trust and respect through the whole
Process that I’ll be recommending him to anyone that is in need.

Our home is 3,200 sq ft. The guys finished the job in 1day. After the job on the roof they spent at least 30-45 minutes cleaning up around the entire perimeter of the house.

The work done was excellent and I was very pleased. I had 2 questions the next day during my own inspection. I posed these question to the project manager Jason.

He and another lead guy came out that morning and easily answered the questions.
One got on the roof and checked the entire job.

I found this company to be very proficient and professional and would recommend them and use them again.

Thanks 2nd To None.

Had a great experience with Mike from Second to None. Never felt pressured into using them to get my roof done. Very competitive pricing. Was extremely pleased with the clean up process as I have seen a lot of trash left from other companies all over yards. Highly recommend.

This company is easily one of the best in the business. Punctual, handles insurance companies well, cleans up well, and a very kind owner Mike who goes above and beyond. I highly recommend them.

I really enjoyed working with Mike. He was knowledgeable and easy to work with. Can't recommend Second to None enough.

Mike and the entire group at Second to None were great to work with. They replaced three roofs and siding for us after the big hail storm. I would recommend them to anyone. They did a great job…….houses look great!

Second to None replaced our roof and siding in a timely manner and it looks great. They were easy to work with and very professional. We would not hesitate to use them again. Robert Cline

Mike, was extremely helpful regarding an insurance claim following a hail storm. We were so glad he was on site while the representative of the insurance company inspected our damage. His knowledge and guidance through this process was invaluable.
The work done by Second To None, and their trusted contractors has been top notch. Communication is very easy and we are very pleased with their performance.

We had Mike and his company do our roof and couldn’t be happier! The quality and communication was on point and very thorough. We would definitely recommend and use them again!

Great experience and would highly recommend. The way Mike, Jason followed up with Insurance team and got the roof replacement done is truly commendable. Tysm Mike, Jason.

Second to None Exteriors are simply fantastic. Their attention to detail and trying to get everything right was truly spectacular. I highly recommend using Second to None, if you’re in need of a roof! My roof looks incredible. Thank you Second to None. John

Everyone who works there from the owner, to the salesman, to the workers and staff we're very professional and I couldn't be happier with the work that they did on my house. They replaced my roof, my gutters, and siding on one part of my house. Everything looks great and they did a good job cleaning up after the work.

We're fast and did most of the heavy lifting with the insurance for the new roof and siding we got.

Mike and Team from Second to None were great to work with! They took the stress out of all the work, from my new Roof, Siding, Facia and Gutters which were all damaged due to a very bad storm. The team was very professional and Ivan was on top of all of the scheduling to get all the work done quickly with a high level of quality. I can’t thank them enough.

My roof was damaged in a storm, and second to none fixed it very quickly. Never had a chance to give me interior damage.

Mike was amazing to work with. He was great with helping me pick out colors for the roof. He was there when he said he was going to be. His workers were very polite and very good at what they did. His name of the company speaks for itself. Second to None.

This company is great, and I am grateful to have our roof replaced here. The entire process was fast and painless, the actual construction only took 1 day.

I am particularly thankful for the owner Mike. I may not have been the easiest client, but he was always calm and patient with me. Mike was genuinely empathetic about our situation and always tried to work with me towards an agreeable solution. I am extremely surprised to see any review that say otherwise. I can only think that Mike is not just a contractor, but a good man from my past interactions with him.

Kevin from sales I've been in touch with for over a year. It's like we're old friends! Not only is Kevin likeable, reliable, but he is also very prompt in answering any questions or requests you might have. He is there for you day and night.

Last but not least, Cesar was our crew leader during the roofing construction. He is so friendly, helpful, and down to earth. He answered whatever questions I had about our roof damage, and helped take detailed pictures of it's state as the construction was going on. He also came back the day after the installation was finished to survey the area of any remaining debris and any finishing touches.

I appreciate you guys. Overall everyone and everything in this company was friendly, fast, and efficient. Thank you again!

Second to None was the quickest reply and and appointment after a hailstorm earlier this year. Very helpful and informative from Day 1, checked in throughout the wait before the job day and even checked in the day of to make sure things were going well! If anyone needs a roof I’ll be recommending Second to None!

I had an unpleasant experience with one of the drivers from your company. The driver was extremely aggressive and rude. He got out of the truck and stared us down, apparently upset that we were parked too close to his vehicle. To make matters worse, he opened the passenger door and struck our side mirror. I sincerely hope this behavior does not reflect the standards of your company, and I’d be very concerned if this was the owner behaving in such a manner.

Mike’s crew did an awesome job on my roof. My neighbors tree fell and caused damages. They were able to get me squared with my insurance and replace the entire deck and shingles. My roof looks amazing. Highly recommended in my opinion.

Staff was excellent and easy to work with. Friendly personnel. Had my house redone with roof, siding , and gutters post hail storm. Very pleased with the results. Great company that did quality work!

Mike Eckler and his crew at Second to None did a wonderful job replacing our roof, siding, facia and gutters that were damaged by hail. They worked with our insurance company directly. Mike is very professional and true to his word. He was very meticulous to make sure everything was done correctly and to our satisfaction. We highly recommend him.

Second to None Exteriors did an excellent job with my roof . They helped with the whole process with the insurance company. They are very knowledgeable and without them I would still be waiting for a roof. I would recommend them and have to other owners who also are very satisfied. Thank you !!!!

Kevin Simpson is a excellent salesman for the company. The men he used on my roof were Fantastic. I am so happy we found second to none roofing for our roofing needs.

We were hit by a big hail storm wind damage. Mike and Second to None transformed my house to a beautiful home. The work they did was amazing and very professional. I highly recommend Second to None to the entire St Louis metro.

Mike and his team at Second to None Exteriors are absolutely incredible! Always professional, the process moves quickly, and high-quality work! So many roofing companies just swoop into an area after a storm and bang out a bunch of roofs, then they disappear. Never to be seen or heard from again. Not Second to None! Mike, the owner, is a Missouri native and has been putting roofs on homes and businesses for over 25 years, right here in my neighborhood! I'll never use anyone else!!

Easy to Work with and was professional dealing with me and my insurance company. The work was professional and was on time even during the hail damage in our area.

Kevin Simpson with Second to None Exteriors is who handled everything I needed. Even when the insurance company was a pain with my hail damage claim he took care of all of it!!! Highly recommend and my new roof, gutters, and downspouts are beautiful!! He also made sure my dogs were going to be safe after the whole process and they cleaned everything up, like you didn’t even know they were there! Hopefully I don’t need to use them for anything else anytime soon but if I do I know who I am calling!!

I had a 10+ year old roof that was double shingled. I have landscaping and lots of plants surrounding the house. Business owner came out when inspector was here to convince him and he was completely honest with me. They completed the job in less then a 8 hour day. He even did a 6 month check up to my roof when I had a concern about something that wasn’t his fault. Great company & American employees.

I just got my roof done by second to none! I worked with Kevin Simpson for insurance and color! He was the absolute best!! He was super quick with responses! He always made everything super convenient and easy for me throughout the entire process. He was great! The company also did great on my roof! They left my yard and surrounding area clean, which was important since I have dogs. I highly recommend working with Kevin and the company for all your roof needs!! Kevin will make the whole process so simple!

It was a pleasure working with Kevin Simpson and Second to None Exteriors.
Kevin was very professional, friendly, responsive, and helpful. Very happy with my new roof! Guys did an amazing job.

Mike and his crew did a complete roof tear off and replacement for us under an insurance claim. Mike was there each time with the insurance adjuster, and handled most of the insurance leg work himself, which was very helpful. His crew was on time each day and cleaned up each evening. They completed everything in a very fast 3 days, despite some grueling heat. The crew was respectful to my family while I was not there.

The finished product looks fantastic. Mike was a pleasure to deal with and obviously takes great pride in his work. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him at all.

Needed to replace a 25 year old roof on my house and couldn’t be any happier with Second to None Exteriors! Mike helped us through the insurance process, explaining the necessary work and picking out color. They got the job done in a timely manner and exactly as promised leaving the surrounding area neat and clean as it was when they arrived. I would highly recommend them to anyone in the area needing a new roof.

I had to take a minute to give a BIG shout out to Mike and his crew. He was very patient with me in this process in getting a new roof put on my house. He was very professional and did a GREAT job in record timing! Keep up the GOOD work!

Mike and his company were great to work with. Our house looks wonderful after the face lift to the roof, siding and cutters. Thanks Mike.

Mike and his team were fantastic. What impressed me most was not only the quality and integrity, but his attitude when things didn’t go perfect.

Couple of his guys were sick so he started the roof with less than he anticipated and he still kept the time frame the same. He was right there with the crew working side by side - it was cool to see.

Would strongly recommend.

Really good workers and crew and owner is wonderful and works with and I give them the highest regards. Clean up was great. They handled my warranty claim issue. I love my new roof.

I have been a Custom Home Builder for 33 years. Mike and his crew are the Best guys I have used in all my years in business. No short cuts and they clean up like no others. Best around!!

Very professional, worked with our insurance and did a great job. VERY satisfied with all aspects of this company and a beautiful roof.

Mike and his crew at Second To None Exterior do outstanding work and we couldn't be more pleased with our new roof! Through the whole process Mike kept us informed about what to expect next. The quality of their workmanship is outstanding. Everyone was friendly and respectful, you couldn't ask for anything more. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for exterior work.

Mike with Second to None was great!!!! Him and his crew came out and made quick work on my roof. Don’t hesitate to trust this company with any of your roofing needs.

Great team of people who do excellent work. These are hard working men doing a job in extreme heat and deserve the respect & kindness of all homeowners. Homeowners please consider offering them healthy snacks or even treat them to a lunch while working on your roof. They deserve it!

We love our new roof & gutters. Thank you!

Mike's a very genuine guy. Really enjoyed meeting and doing business with him . The work and timeliness was greatly appreciated. My wife and I are very pleased with the outcome. I absolutely will refer Second to None Exteriors to prospective clients. Great job Mike and Crew

Mike(Second to None) did a wonderful job,very neat and friendly,
was he and his crew. We would recommend to all.

They were on time and finished in a very timely manor! They cleaned the area so well that you couldn’t tell that they had been here. The price was great and reasonable. The roof and gutters has really improved our curb appeal!

Second To None was very helpful in the process of an insurance claim for roof installation after storm damage, helped us choose the right color and quality for our house, and finished the whole job very thoroughly & quickly. Added bonus, Mike straightened my j-channels near the chimney and installed new gutter guards.

Second to None did a processional job on our 130 year old Victorian home. Our roof is steep and cut- up with a complicated 50/12 slope turret.
Mike and his crew stepped up to the challenge and did a great job. We look forward to their return for phase 2 of the project this summer.
I would highly recommend Second To None!

Mike was honest about pricing,work needed,insurance coverage and what he will do.Did everything promised and promptly.
We have recommended him to others.

We love our new roof installation! Mike was super easy to talk to and made each step of the process smooth. His hardworking team did excellent work.

Young, experienced, and professional owner with like-minded crew. Very informative, knowledgeable and conscientious. Also, A+ BBB, licensed and bonded. Completely satisfied with with job on Concordia Lane.

These guys are top of the line roofing service. The attention to detail they make me feel is incredible and the management team of the company is always leading the way to make me feel comfortable. Great company, Great service, highly recommended.

Mike Ekler operates an excellent company that strives to satisfy! Our family found the Second To None Exteriors team to be highly professional, trustworthy, courteous and hard-working group of craftsman. From start to finish, Mike guided us through the process and kept us in the loop ( initial roof inspection, roof shingle selection, ordering materials needed, delivery of shingles and dumpster, two day roofing job, removal of dumpster and thorough cleanup of jobsite, and final paperwork ). Our family would definitely use this company again and highly recommend Mike and his team without reservation.

Second to None is a terrific company. They are hard working and respectful people who will go out of their way to make sure the job is done to your satisfaction. I have recommended them to friends and family.
