Our Staff

Founded by Matthew Lyster, Lyster Exteriors has been better serving the needs of our expanding home-base since 1998. The company got its start in Climax, Michigan.

Paul Eddy

Lyster did our roof, attic ventilation, and insulation. They were ECELLENT! They showed up everyday early and worked until it was too dark to keep going. Somehow from when they went in our attic originally the attic cover got left open and when they blew in the new insulin, because of its location they did not see it was open until too late. They came in, closed the hatch, vacuumed every inch of the closet, even every little compartment of the hanging shoe organizer which holds various cleaning supplies in it’s 32 pockets.

The crews were very efficient, hard working, professional, and polite. The last day, they cleaned up…..soooooo much more than they needed to! They even raked the leaves left for over a year surrounding the house. I cannot say enough good about this company. We have them coming back to do more to the house. They weren’t the cheapest bid we got, by far this time, but they rocked the job last time and they will always be the place to get the bid now.

Jay Roder

Lysters were friendly, professional and quickly repaired our leaky roof. I was very pleased how soon after I called that they could get the job done. I highly recommend this company to anyone looking for an honest dependable exterior repair!
