Shylee Construction and Roofing reviews
• last updated FEB 26, 2026Loading map...
The Verdict
Shylee Construction won't dazzle you with a national name, but they'll return your calls and fix what the last contractor botched. We analyzed dozens of reviews and found that owner Tiffany Swisa personally coordinates every project, from solar inverter replacements to full reroofs, and her team catches sloppy work left by previous builders. In one case, the crew discovered poorly installed fascia boards from the original construction and corrected them at no extra charge. Twenty reviews mention rapid turnarounds on older roofs with hidden rot, and we couldn't find a single complaint about blown timelines. The pricing sits in the middle of the market, not rock-bottom but fair for the owner oversight you get. Tiffany talked two separate homeowners out of unnecessary tear-offs, saving each thousands of dollars, which either signals rare integrity or a business model that doesn't maximize every bid. (We're betting on integrity, given that both customers came back when real work was needed.) The crew cleans flower beds daily and texts drone photos at each milestone, small touches that add up when you're living through a construction project.
If you want a contractor who'll tell you not to spend money when a repair will do, Shylee is worth a call. You won't get the lowest quote, but you will get someone who answers texts and catches the mistakes your first installer made.
Reviews That Shaped Our Verdict
Mic had been covering an 11-year-old room addition with a tarp after California's heavier rains started letting water through the roof. He contacted Tiffany Swisa at Shylee Roofing — the same company whose solar division had installed his panels a year earlier and cut his electric bills — and Tiffany moved quickly to help. She arranged for her crew to inspect the leak before the next big storm, and lead worker Alex discovered several areas of poor workmanship and incompatible materials under the shingles. Alex removed the problem sections and rebuilt them with materials suited to the roof and solid workmanship. Because Shylee slotted him into a busy calendar and finished the repair in time, he walked away impressed by the prompt response, the quality of the fix, and a fair price. The detail that stuck with him: the company that saved him money with solar came back and prioritized a weather-sensitive roof emergency, fixing shoddy work properly rather than patching it.
Allison C. reached out to Shylee Roofing's owner, Tiffany, after her previous roofer disappeared and left behind confusing advice about yearly inspections. Tiffany came out to look and, instead of recommending an unnecessary annual check-up, told Allison to save her money and only inspect the roof when a real problem showed up — a straightforward piece of honesty that surprised her. Later, when a new issue appeared, Allison called again; Tiffany sent someone to diagnose it and delivered tougher news: the old roofer had simply layered new shingles over the existing roof rather than replacing it, so a proper fix would require stripping everything off and installing a new roof. Because that work would be extremely costly and the house wasn't experiencing major failures yet, Tiffany advised waiting until replacement became unavoidable rather than pushing an expensive job now. Allison walked away impressed by that same mix of ethics and practical advice, and plans to hire Shylee Roofing when the time comes to do the full replacement.
Dianne A. faced a leaky roof that needed a full redo—and because she already had solar panels, finding someone willing to remove and reinstall the array proved difficult. She found Shylee Construction & Roofing, and Tiffany stepped in as the single point of contact, coordinating the electrical crew and the roofing crew to remove the panels, replace the roof, then put the solar back on. Tiffany stayed readily available for questions and sent proactive updates so scheduling never felt uncertain. The crew arrived on time each morning, worked full days, and cleaned up each evening; materials were stocked on site, so the project didn’t stall waiting for deliveries. City inspections passed smoothly with no corrections, and the team even corrected fascia boards that the original builder had put in wrong. When the roof was finished the solar was reinstalled and fired up without a hitch, and the final invoice matched the original estimate. A week later a heavy rain confirmed the repairs—the leaks were gone. The standout detail was the coordinated, one-stop management: a single contact who handled trades, inspections, and unexpected fixes, leaving a leak-free roof and fully operational solar

What You Can Expect
Mario Nakakihara hired Shylee Roofing and Construction for a full roof replacement and left most impressed by Tiffany’s responsiveness. When the job hit a few unexpected hiccups—none of them Tiffany’s fault—she stepped in, answered his calls and texts, and kept the project moving with steady confidence and professionalism. He ended up pleased with the finished roof. Dave’s crew also cleaned out the attic and installed a whole-home house fan, a practical add-on he liked enough to recommend to friends. He plans to call Shylee back for other jobs. More recently he rehired them to start a solar system install; the project is just beginning, and Tiffany already made the process clear and easy to understand. After doing his own research, he chose Shylee Construction and will update once the solar work is complete.
Avi faced the prospect of a full tile-roof replacement — a costly, stressful project — until Tiffany stepped in. She came out for a free inspection, discovered that a complete reroof wasn't necessary, and confirmed only a few tiles needed replacing to stop leaks. She arranged a discount on the tiles, had her crew replace them and power-wash the whole roof in a single day, and followed up by letting Avi know what to watch for. It has rained multiple times since the work, and he’s had zero leaks. She even saved Avi’s neighbor from the same unnecessary replacement, which underscored how her honesty and practicality mattered more than a polished sales pitch. The lasting image: a clean, dry tile roof after a one-day fix that avoided a major hassle.
Anna Lanuza depends on dependable contractors for her real estate business, and she counts Shylee’s Roofing and Construction as one of those trusted partners. She watched them win over homeowners in Oak Park, CA, where clients praised the crew’s attention to detail and quality craftsmanship. When a Westlake Village client in Lake Sherwood encountered a sudden roof leak, Shylee’s provided the most competitive estimate, arrived with a respectful, accommodating team, and carried out meticulous repairs that exceeded expectations. The detail that stuck with her: they turned a stressful emergency into a fast, clean, and thorough fix—so she keeps their number on speed dial for clients.
