Our Approach

Strauss’ Houses Reviews: Real Names, Real Dates, Linked To The Source

Strauss’ Houses reviews from Watertown-area homeowners, with names and dates, each linked to where it was written — our Google profile and BBB profile are linked too. We are BBB accredited and would rather you read the reviews there. There are few because for twenty years we did not ask; we are asking now.

Two honest reviews beat three invented ones. We would rather show you a small number of real reviews with names and dates attached than a wall of anonymous initials. Most of our work has come by word of mouth for twenty years, which is lovely and does nothing at all for somebody searching for the best roofer in Watertown at ten at night with water coming through a ceiling.

So we are asking now. If we have worked for you and you would write a few lines, it genuinely matters — the town and what the job was is plenty. And check us where the reviews live rather than here: our Google profile and our Better Business Bureau profile are both linked above, and each review below links to its source.

Every Roofing Review We Have

“Hail came through in June and I had no idea whether it was worth calling my insurance. They came out the next morning, walked the roof, and showed me photos of the bruising before I signed anything. The adjuster met them here and the claim went through without a fight.”

Sample Reviewer 1 Google Review · July 2026

“Full tear-off on a house built in 1961, so there were surprises under the old shingles. They called me before doing anything extra and the final invoice matched the estimate. Yard was cleaner when they left than when they showed up.”

Sample Reviewer 2 Google Review · June 2026

“Wind took part of the ridge off and I had water coming into an upstairs bedroom. They tarped it the same evening and came back to do the repair properly the following week. Straight answers the whole way through.”

Sample Reviewer 3 BBB Review · April 2026

“Got three quotes. Theirs was not the cheapest but it was the only one that explained what the decking underneath was going to cost if it needed replacing. It did, and the price was what they said it would be.”

Sample Reviewer 4 Google Review · February 2026

“Second roof they have done for us, first one was on the garage six years ago and it has not given us a moment of trouble. Local outfit, actually answer the phone.”

Sample Reviewer 5 Facebook Review · November 2025

“They looked at the roof, told me it had another five or six years in it, and did not try to sell me a replacement. I will call them when it is actually time.”

One Minute

How To Leave A Review, In One Tap

If we have worked for you, a few lines here helps the next homeowner more than anything we could write ourselves. The town and what the job was is plenty. If it is a complaint, write it anyway; those are the ones we learn from, and we reply to them where they are posted.

How did it go?

So we can reply. Never published with the review.

Nothing gets published until we have read it. Would rather leave it where everyone looks? It takes the same minute on Google and does us more good: Write a Google review

Reading Them

How To Read A Roofer’s Reviews

Look for the second winter

Anyone can be pleased on the day the roof goes on. A review written after a Wisconsin winter or two is a review of the flashing, the nailing and the ventilation — the things the warranty covers.

Look for the town

A review that names Watertown, Jefferson or Lake Mills is from a neighbor. A page of reviews from three states is a storm crew’s trail.

Look for the reply

A bad review with a straight answer underneath it tells you more than ten good ones. We do not remove them.

Then check the license

Reviews say what a customer felt. The state license lookup says whether the company is certified in Wisconsin and for how long. Do both.

Straight Answers

About Our Reviews

No. If something went wrong we would rather it were on the record with our reply underneath it. A page of nothing but five stars is not credible and everybody knows it — and a local business in a town of this size cannot hide a bad job anyway, because the neighbor will have seen it. How we work is written so that you can hold us to it.

The Better Business Bureau, where we are accredited, and our Google Business Profile. We would encourage you to read them there rather than take our word for what they say. And for the company itself rather than the customers’ view of it, the DSPS license lookup shows our Dwelling Contractor Certification and how long we have held it.

This link opens the Google review box for us, and the BBB profile is linked at the top of this page. Either takes about a minute and you do not need to write much: the town and what the job was is plenty. If you would rather tell us directly, the contact page has the number, and we will not mind if it is a complaint; those are the ones we learn from.

Because for twenty years we did not ask, and word of mouth in a small town does not leave a record on the internet. We are asking now. The finished jobs are on the site with their towns named, and anyone who wants to see a roof in person rather than read about it is welcome to.
