I want to start off by pointing out that Home Genius isn't a roofing or home improvement company, they're strictly a marketing and sales company. Use a local company or the contractors that they hire, not Home Genius. It'll be cheaper, there will be accountability and resolution to issues. Cut out the middleman.At this point, I don't think their warranty is worth anything more than the paper it's printed on. They can't even honor their install craftsmanship or contract. 4 Months of waiting for them to finish the job.
I'll give you a quick rundown of what to expect:
Door Knock > Sales Pitch to lock in a consulting appointment (painful process)Sales appointment > $30k roof that took 3 hours to haggle down to $18k.
The sales people use the most basic used car sales knock down tactics BUT she was VERY nice and helpful. It's just disingenuous when they say "let me call the warehouse to see if we have the exact shingle you want left over from another job we did". Of course they did, scummy price reduction tactic. I still agreed, knowing the $18k was a little high but I just wanted it done asap. They also had a great 0% offer for 12m. I asked if the roofers are W2 or 1099 employees, she told me they're directly employed by Home Genius (W2). Turns out, they're all subcontractors (1099).
The day of install, the crew got to work. I left and ran around town. My contract specifically detailed the Owens Corning Ventsure inflow eave vent would be installed on the back of the house. I told them I DO NOT want it on the front.This is a vent that goes across the face of the roof, 3' or so above the eave.
I came home and they were almost done. Sure enough, the vent was installed in front, not in back. There's literally a picture and notes on the contract not to do this. The crew left nails everywhere, gutters were full of nails, grass, landscaping, roof, loose nails everywhere. Upon inspection, I found that flashing around my addition looked like a 1st grader did it. Leaving a very unfinished look to the roof and creating a space for water, snow and ice to get behind my siding.
This is where the whole experience became painful. I'm hiring a local contractor to fix this poor installation.
The office project manager never answers the phone, you leave a VM and some guy showed up to "fix" my flashing. He replaced part of it, where there was exposed wood but did not fix the entire section. The field project managers are helpful, they answer and call you back but nothing ever gets done. From March 13th until today (06/20), I've been promised multiple resolutions that were all unfulfilled.
From March 13th until March 30th, the project manager was very helpful but the flashing isn't fixed. From April to May 11, I had trouble getting a hold of anyone. From May 11 until today, I've had responses and countless promises of "Hey Tom the crew will be there thursday or friday to get that repaired for you".
Then a week goes by and I check in, "I'm working on getting a crew out there". Keep in mind, no one has ever communicated that this is out of scope or not their responsibility. It's been strictly apologies and empty promises.
I finally left a message June 12th stating that I need a promised date for this to be resolved by 06/17.
I have not heard back. I'm done.
Home Genius did not fulfill their obligation of the contract.
I'm sure now that I'm leaving bad reviews, suddenly this will matter to Home Genius. Sadly, that's exactly how this company works. Their BBB score is based on fixing problems once customers put them on blast.

These guys did a great job. They installed Hardie fiber cement siding on my house and replaced the aging gutters too. Everyone on their team was super professional, easy to reach when I had questions about timing or anything else, and the crew that installed the fiber cement was absolutely fantastic!! It took about 2 weeks to get the siding installed and throughout the process their attention to detail was really impressive. They caught every single detail as they were wrapping up, took the time to address weird areas that had been bugging us for years, and transformed our house. I couldn't be happier with the end product. Highly recommended!!
(note, two of the photos are in-progress shots, our home didn't have any sort of vapor barrier before + the old siding had some wear & tear!)

How much will a new roof cost?
When it comes to replacing your roof, the cost can vary based on a bunch of factors. Your choice of replacement material—asphalt shingle vs. metal—plays a big role. Plus, the size of your home and its architectural features also come into play when tallying up the bill. Our Home Genius team will work with you to make sure that you get the perfect solution for your home at a cost that you can afford.
How do I know if I need to replace my home’s siding?
If your home has loose or missing siding, warped or cracked siding, signs of pest damage, or color fading – it may be time for a replacement. Keep an eye out for increased energy bills, too, as poor insulation from deteriorating siding can lead to higher heating and cooling costs. If you’re unsure, our experts are happy to perform a free inspection to determine if new siding is right for your home.
How long does siding last?
Vinyl siding generally has a lifespan of 20 years, while fiber cement siding is known for its extended lifespan, often exceeding 50 years when properly installed and maintained.
What are the benefits of new siding?
New siding is more than just a cosmetic upgrade—it’s a smart investment that can lower your energy costs, minimize maintenance headaches, and protect your home from harsh weather and pests for years to come.

If you’re unsure, our team of experts is happy to provide a free inspection to determine if replacement windows are right for you.

Why are seamless gutters better for my home?
Sectional gutters are installed piece-by-piece, and that creates seams where water can leak and leaf matter gets trapped. Seamless gutter systems remove that design flaw, allowing rainfall to pass much easier.
Do I need gutter guards?
While gutter guards are an optional add-on for a gutter system, they are often considered an essential part of the protection of your home by keeping debris away from your gutters. This avoids potential clogging throughout the system, which is the number one cause of water damage and pooling around your foundation and siding. Talk to your dedicated project lead about your home’s unique needs to determine if a gutter guard will be worth the installation.
