Centennial Construction & Remodeling Services, Inc

Brent the contractor started the job on the date agreed. He gave us helpful advice with planning. His workers did a good job worked efficiently and carefully and cleaned up each day. The result is beautiful!

Everything went as planned and on time. No supervision required.

He has done work with me in the past and he is an absolute life saver.

Not only did Centennial repair the problem areas they also took the initiative to look over the rest of the house and spot repaired my siding where needed. Unbelievably, they made minor repairs where needed and didn't charge me extra. I might also add, that the repairs were done in freezing weather! I would definitely call Centennial in the future.

Our windows look great, very pleased with results. No more drywall repair from moisture condensation from windows in the winter.

They were really good. They did really good work. It wasn't just a one deal, they were here for months.

Brent is a very personable person. I appreciated his knowledge and ideas for our project. We liked him quite a lot. His was very punctual and kept in touch throughout the process. We didn't use Centennial but i would recommend them to anyone.

They did a great job. I did have to wait a little bit for them but when they got here they did everything. I did not have to be here and they did everything for the outside and when I came back it looked wonderful. They had a professional looking proposal and everything was straight forward and that is what I like. I got there contract and it was written up well. They had good communication.

Brent as the construction manager was extremely helpful in modifying some of my initial ideas into a more economical and practical solution. He was quick to respond to email and very easy to work with. Greg and Tim who actually performed the service were extremely nice and did a wonderful job in the time frame allotted. After the dog door was inserted into the wall, it was clear that the drop off to the outside was going to be a bit problematic for my dog. The dog door was installed perfectly, it is just an issue with the way the yard was relative to the height of the house. Greg and Tim made a small dog deck just outside the door for my dog. I was so appreciative of them going the extra mile to solve a problem that wasn't even in the initial plan! I would definitely use this company again.

I would highly recommend them and they did an excellent job. They worked well with out insurance company.

Initial meeting went well. Very knowledgable, with good ideas however we never heard back with the estimate. We finally called 2 weeks later and finally received estimate after 3 weeks. Price was surprisingly expensive.

In 2008 the original siding contractor (Re-side Siding) replaced the whole house siding, with James Hardie Fiber Cement siding. Being a home owner we always trusted the siding contractor and assumed they would do a good job. I paid him $15,000 that included painting. I asked reside what is the warrantee. He explained to me in 2 words “50 year”. Then January 2014 the gutter repair man pointed out to me that there is some issue with our siding. So I contacted David mills owner of Re-side Siding in March 2014. He came over and inspected the siding. He said he would send the form by email to file the warrantee claim. This time I asked him again what’s the warrantee cover. Now In 3 words he said “prorated 50 years”. I asked him to explain to me more clearly. He said he has no clue how the warrantee is going to be resolved “we can both learn from this experience”. How dare he say that to me? I am the one who paid the money and he didn’t have to suffer from this at all. Later I found out that it’s a limit prorated product only warrantee and it doesn’t cover labor to replace or paint and painters. That makes me very angry because being a homeowner we paid $15,000 and after only 5 winters we are having problems. I had no clue how long the problem was going on. Being a homeowner we assumed our siding was intact. The professional saw and fortunately told me or I wouldn’t have known. The gutter guy happened to own a roofing and siding company and he asked me if Re-side siding company was going to come and correct the problem. I said no he said he will file the claim. The gutter guy was so upset. He said “how can he sleep at night and how can he do that it’s unprofessional and dishonest it wasn’t a James Hardie product problem it was because of his bad install”. The nails holding the siding plank in the front of the house weren’t nailed in secure enough and it fell off. He said if I was his customer he would promptly fix the problem. Later I read Re-side Siding (David Mills) had a bad review in December of 2009. The member nailed the character of David Mills right on and also thought he was dishonest and a liar and would not take blame for what he did wrong. I 100% agree with her. That member had the same concern about her new wavy walls about the Re-side Siding installation as I did. David Mills from Re-side Siding responded with a ridiculous excuse blaming the builder of 300+ homes in a whole neighborhood had install issues on framing saying that the builder did a poor framing job on every single home instead of incompetence, bad installation from him. Then, I found out later from siding contractors that if the studs on the walls aren't straight and irregularities in the framing are present, a skilled and good contractor will shim the wall before installing new siding, preventing from the wavy appearance. Even James Hardie claims department mentioned the shimming to me and said that when the siding planks aren't laid flat, there can be a water penetration that can cause issues later. Re-side Siding didn't do the shimming and tried to place blame on only bad framing. Re-side Siding should have shimmed and flattened the regular service before installing the siding to insure proper installation. David Mills finally sent me the claim form and then I was shocked to find out, he left out of the claim form the front of the house and garage gable with bad installation. He was trying to hide it in the claim form and didn’t report it. He said just sign it. How dare he leave out the front of the house and the garage gable? After that he said he doesn’t want to get involve. He said this is between you and the manufacture and He is not responsible for the repairs that I needed. I was dumb founded how could he say that to me. He should have helped me and guided me through the claim process and make sure it was taken care of because he was the reason I had to do this. I left 2 messages in March 2014 and as of today he’s never called back and never checked on me to see if the problem was resolved. I thought that it was really wrong that he made money from me and my mother’s home and will have nothing to do with me or the house anymore. He goes out and solicits to new home owners for new business. He doesn’t know how important it is to help his existing customers. Since Re-side Siding was not there to guide me or give me any professional help. I contacted Angie’s List and they recommend Centennial Construction. I talked to the owner Brent Ash. He was totally opposite than David Mills. He was very kind and very knowledgeable. He promptly showed up at my mom’s house and spent over an hour going over the house with me very carefully to point out exactly where the problem is. I really appreciated his kindness, professionalism, and compassion looking after my mom’s interest. David Mills from Re-side Siding should have been the one helping because he made the money. Brent made time for my mother’s home and went the extra mile giving his professional opinion. Throughout the year I called more than a dozen times and he would promptly answer my calls, guide me through, and answer my questions to file my claim dispute. Without him I could not dispute my claim properly, he educated me with every detail about siding and instillation. So I would have the same knowledge they have to file my claim and know what I was talking about. Now if they do a bad job I can point it out right away. With Brent’s help I resolved my siding claim very satisfactory. Brent told me if I was his customer the homeowner wouldn’t have to do anything. He would contact the James Hardie representative and have him come to the house and go over details. He would file the claim on behalf of the homeowners and we wouldn’t have to go through the trouble. Later I invited other contractors to inspect my mom’s home. They all agree with Brent that Re-side Siding did a poor installation. Such as the James Hardie company doesn’t allow caulking between the seams (butt joints). Behind the butt joint they must put a barrier so water and moisture comes off and drains. Re-side didn’t do that. Re-side Siding used cheap caulking that dried out and cracked it and then water penetrated under the siding and caused the problem. The Re-Side worker must have ran out of delicate siding face nails. In some areas used the rough roofing nails and they caused the siding panels to cracks. It made my blood boil when the James Hardie inspector was here and inspected the house and later the claim department almost didn’t cover my mother’s warrantee because of Re-sides bad installation. The claim department mentioned they used the rough roofing nails and didn't shim the wall too. If Re-Side wants to stay in the business he should learn from Brent how to take care of his customers and install correctly. When I talked to Re-side he said he never heard of James Harie product having issues. When I first hired him he gave me 2 choices- James Hardie or Certainteed Fiber Cement Siding. He talked about Certainteed Fiber Cement Siding having problems and said he does put it on a lot of homes including my neighbors who recommended Mr. Mills. When he said that CertainTeed siding is bad, I didn’t feel like he had any remorse for the poor homeowners that are going to have problems now because he sold them this product. Every single contractor I talked to said they wouldn’t even sell the CertainTeed product anymore. I feel really bad for those homeowners who have it. From the bottom of my heart I appreciate that Brent protected my mom’s interest and guided me through the claim process. He always answered my calls and helped me even though he wasn’t the one who did the bad work and wasn’t the original contractor.

It went fairly well....work done was good Process and pricing were a bit challenging

It went very well. They had excellent workmen and contractors. They closed off where they were working to prevent any dust in the rest of the house.We had no problems at all.

Brent Ash was prompt,bprofessional and competent . The work was done promptly and on schedule,and on budget. The only hang up was the bank. Fifth third releasing money to him that been paid for the repair front Pure insurance company. I would.definatley use him again and would highly recommend him to anyone

It was a pleasure worki

The guys doing the work were very punctual, and did a GREAT job on our addition. They had no problem breaking from their work to answer any questions I had in detail, were very professional, cleaned up after every day of work, had no issues addressing very minor issues, and I could tell they took a lot of pride in their work. We originally had found a picture of what we wanted and thought it was a very professional addition...yet by the time Centennial was done ours looked many times better than the picture. I would definitely chose them again for any similar projects.

Everything turned out well, and I had a good experience with them. They were always on time, did a good job, and were very responsible when doing the work.

Quote was done by a very knowledgable contractor who knew what needed to be done. Actual people who came to do the work were equally as knowledgable. Garage step is awesome. Very sturdy and just what we needed. The siding and gutter work was very professionally installed and the job site cleaned up each day. Would highly recommend.

Excellent! Once they were able to get started they were very prompt and with great quality. The original estimator who came and looked at the job actually resigned about a week before our project was supposed to start. Brent stepped right in and he did a great job and didn't miss a beat. We are very happy with the finished product! We would definitely use Centennials services again!

He replaced and painted damaged siding on one side of our garage the siding while we were gone. He did the job while we were gone, but was very respectful of our property and cleaned up well after himself. The price was even less than the quote I got over the phone.

I was very happy with Brent Ash, the owner. They were very helpful and responsible. They brought samples and put them on the roof so I could see how it looked. Everything has gone well so far with all of the rain we have had. He did it while we were gone, and I was pleased everything was taken care of very well around the house. Everything was cleaned up very well, so I was very happy with that. The price was comparable to one of the larger roofing companies, but I liked that I could speak with Brent directly instead of having several layers to go through, I could speak with him almost immediately.

I would use them again. Brent Ash is great to work with and very responsive. He was very helpful when dealing with our insurance provider. I would say they aren't the cheapest, but aren't pricey for the sake of being expensive either. They will work with you or provide options within your budget. (The approximate cost of service I used was just a "filler" number because I don't have the original claims with me as a I type this, but the work was significant.)

Everything went very well. The workers were punctual, courteous and very capable. We had a knee wall that was much too high and ruined our view. We also had some wood that was rotting. Now we have a full screen (top to bottom) with spindles on the lower part. It is not only more attractive than our old porch, but we can enjoy the view now!

They did an excellent job. They were very prompt. The installers were very knowledgeable. They showed up when they said they would and there were no extra charges. They were very easy to deal with.
