"Everyone from Lauren were friendly, knowledgable, prompt and truly hardworking. From the owner Nick all the way down the line to the work crew that did our roof. Before the work could start they came out everyday to make sure the patch was holding up so we didnt have leaks while we waited for insurance to give the ok. The day they did the roof it was done quickly, efficiently and looks amazing. They explained the whole process to us and were always ready to answer any questions. I really like the fact they are local and family owned. I will definately use them in the future."

"I live in a 3 building condo group. 6 units to each building. We were told to expect 2 days of workers on our 3 roofs. Starting at 6 am, they scraped the roofs, then the next wave came in to put down vapor barriers, and then the actual shingles were put down. At about 1:15 pm that same day, I went out to the mailboxes, and asked what time they were coming back the next day, (Sunday) and was told they were done, and would be done cleaning up that afternoon. 7 hours to do three large roofs!! The crews looked like ants on a cookie, but they were choreographed. Truly amazing! Our building and grounds guy went around on Monday with his metal detector, and located about 5 nails on the ground. I cannot recommend this company higher than 5 stars. That makes me sad. They were amazing!"

"Lauren replaced our roof after we received storm damage. We were having some hassle with our insurance company and Jeremy was extremely helpful in dealing with them. The crew was professional and did an outstanding job. We were very impressed with the cleanup, especially since they had to remove 2 layers of shingles. We highly recommend them."

Plover, WI
"I would highly recommend Lauren Exteriors. I had storm damage to my roof and a friend gave me their number. They had just finished getting their roof done and were very satisfied. I called Jeremy and he came over and inspected the roof. They worked with my insurance and within a few weeks everything was approved. They put a new roof on in one day and cleaned everything up. The roof looks great. I would hire them again."

"I'm writing this review because no one asked me to. I found that refreshing coming from a company with top notch service from start to finish. We had a roof done. The first person we met was Leif. Polite, kind and always on time. Always available. Next I had an insurance problem and dealt with the ladies in the Wisconsin Rapids office a few times. Sweet, efficient ladies who took all my worries away. Then came our beautiful new roof. Done in one day. Hard workers, cleaned it all up after. I would not hesitate to recommend this company. Good old fashioned Customer Service. Thank you."
