Walt came to the house on time, listened to my concerns, described in detail what and how he would be inspecting the roof (shingles, penetrations, ventilation system, flashings and valleys, gutter and downspouts), and depending on his findings, what he could do right away and/or would need to be done later. He was able to find where the two shingles came off, reattach and seal them. He also sealed several other areas including around the chimney and skylights. He was very honest in telling me that other than what he fixed, the roof was in excellent condition. I was very impressed with everything about how Walt performed and would definitely use Central Roofing and Siding Co. again!
Description of Work: We had a new roof put on in 2007. Two shingles were blown off as a result of the hurricane we had a few weeks ago. I tried to contact the company that put on the new roof, but learned they had gone out of business. Checking Angie's List I found that Central Roofing had a special offer for a roof inspection, so I called and made an appointment. Judy Kieffer

Did not even receive an estimate.......
Description of Work: We were charged $50.00 for a roof inspection after we called to request a bid on repair work for a leak. The estimator came and he was thorough and seemed competent. However, after many calls in an attempt to get an estimate for the work needed, we still do not have one. We paid $50.00 in good faith to have the inspection done and never received an estimate. I would like my $50.00 refunded.

We would be happy to refund the $50 for this inspection fee. The customer has never called the office asking for such a refund. Our trained technician spent over an hour with the customer at the job-site and on the roof explaining all the issues. In fact after the inspection was done, the last correspondence with the customer was a very long phone conversation describing the findings. The same findings were presented to the homeowner at the time of the inspection. This is a 30 year old roof that was in need of major attention. Central recommended a replacement of the roof, but the customer was adamant that they wanted to extend the roof's life 3 more years, despite visible holes in the roof and issues with all the flashings. They insisted on an estimate for a repair and despite our findings and in person and phone consultation they wanted us to provide a written estimate for a repair only. We declined because we would have no way to warrant the work for any period of time.

I had water dripping in a stairwell from my attic. Central came out, and the representative was very friendly and professional. He really seemed honest and knew what he was doing. He found some areas on the roof that needed attention and replaced a few shingles. My only complaint was he did not check with me first before using similar, but non-matching shingles. He took some photos of his work to show me, which is helpful since inspecting it myself isn't an option. The cost I felt was reasonable for the time and work. Unfortunately, his work did not stop our leak. I called, and they sent the technician back out. This time, he started in the attic, and once there, found that the pvc exhaust pipe was leaking, not my roof. I wish I had checked this myself because I ultimately was able to fix that problem for around $25. I appreciated his time, and would use Central again for any work my home needed.
Description of Work: Roof checked for possible leaks, with several areas repaired.

I purchased the Big Deal for roofing work from this company. Once the purchase was completed I called Central Roofing to schedule the appointment. The person with whom I spoke was very polite and friendly, but informed me that, because I owned a three-story townhouse, they would not be able to do the work. When I inquired further I was told they did not have a ladder that tall.

Just to clarify - our repair department does not carry a ladder on their trucks that allow safe work on 3 story townhouses, however our new installation department does.

Central inspected our roof and found no problems with the shingles but did recommend that the caulking be replaced as it was old and cracking. They scraped and recaulkled the flashing and replaced the flashing around the ventilation pipes. We had asked for an inspection only but this was all done quickly in the same visit.

The work was started on the day agreed upon, and the office staff were courteous and agreeable to deal with. Otherwise, I was disappointed with the work. A crew arrived with no clear leadership, the only points of contact being a few who appeared to speak more English than the others. Nothing was moved or protected around the house when the work began, and indeed an outdoor carpet on the patio was used as a drop zone for the old shingles. No flashing or wood sheathing was replaced, contrary to the understanding I had when the proposal was made. The objective seemed to be to complete the work as quickly as possible. A few issues to keep in mind: 1. Read the contract carefully, and assume that any work to be performed on an “as needed” basis will not be done; 2. Move and protect anything around the perimeter of the house that could get damaged by shingles before the crew arrives; and 3. Don’t assume that anyone from Central Roofing management will show up during the course of the work to check on how the work is progressing.
Description of Work: Re-roof house.

Response from Central Exteriors
First off we thank this member for their business. However, there are a few things we would like to clarify. First, all of our roofing foreman, managers,and salesmen speak and understand English with no problems whatsoever. Some may have an accent, but this does not mean they do not understand the customer. According to our crew and records this roof went perfectly. The reason no wood was replaced was because no wood on the roof was rotted or bad. We inspect the wood thoroughly when we remove the shingles. If we would replace wood that was not needed that would be unethical, so we only replace what is rotted or bad. We actually did replace most of the flashings on this home. However, there can be some areas on a home where the flashings can not be replaced. Areas where the metal goes up under wood or asbestos siding. Removing this flashing would result in breaking the old siding. For these areas we make sure we add flashing or re-seal these areas. They can be replaced when new siding is done. This is written on our proposal and was explained to the customer after the roof job and I apologize if this was unclear. We do work quickly and proficiently. This is how professional companies operate. No one would be happy if we took 2-3 days to install a roof that can easily be completed in 1 day. That was the case with this home. Finally, our crew did not notice the carpet on the outside patio, it was an outdoor carpet. It should be noted that nothing was damaged and at the end of the day everything was cleaned up and swept for nails. In fact this member never called our office to express any dis-satisfaction during the roof install or after the job was complete. We try and treat every home like it was our own and install a professional roofing system. We also pride ourselves on being a fair and reputable company. Our reviews would be terrible if we started replacing wood on homes that was not rotted or damaged. During the course of the work and anytime for that matter we have a fully staffed office and one of the owners is always available if a member ever needs us to come to a jobsite. finally, our roofing foremen supervise every job and have over 80 years combined experience. Thanks Central

I called Central and made an appointment that worked good for me. The company was very helpful when choosing a date that would work. On the day of my appointment, Walter arrived on time and was very helpful in explaining the process. He took his shoes off at the front door and respected my home as I showed him my leak from the inside. He inspected the exterior of the roof and gave me the details of his findings. I agreed to the work and Walter got started right away. He completed the work on the roof within an hour and a half and returned to my door to explain my warranty and billing. He was an absolute pleasure to work with.

It turned out very well. We are happy with it. There are certain low spots to it still; it is a flat roof I do not know if it is supposed to be there. I hope it does not leak any time soon. Overall we are happy. They were competitively priced. They were not able to start on time because of weather. The estimate said that they were going to put an insulation under the flat roof but then they were not going do it when they actually started. So we had to go back to the contractor and inform what they had promised to do. But they did come through for us and they made that right. We will use them in the future.

Everything went very well. They did a great job. It was wonderful. It was a great experience from the beginning to end. They cleaned up really well. They were very respectful of our property and covered up the outside air conditioning when they were taking down the roof so it wouldn’t get any debris in it.
Description of Work: I used the services of Central Roofing & Siding Co last week. I called them one day. They came the next day and gave me an estimate. We signed the contracts the next day and then the hurricane came, so they couldn’t start right away. They started the following week, so in between the hurricane and the next set of rain they got a new roof on my house. Then they finished up the siding and the gutters and everything about a week after that.

They were okay but not exceptional. Their estimated price of $3900 for the siding wasn’t anything fantastic. They quoted me $500 for any window, which seemed a little strange to me. They followed up once, and that was it, and I guess that is reasonable; they did not harass me. I decided against doing that work. There was nothing wrong with them. They were professional, and their punctuality was fine. If I am planning on doing that kind of work, I might consider getting another estimate from them, but I would compare them with others.

Central turned out to be the best company which I have ever used to make home improvements! To begin with, their salesman, Bernie, is an exceptional guy. He was not only the person who came out initially to provide me an estimate, he frequently called and dopped by the house to see how the work was progressing. If I had any questions or special requests, he would immediately consult with the crew to make sure that they were addressed. I've never experienced such good service from any company and Bernie still checks in on occasion. The crew that installed my windows and doors worked incredibly hard, taking a great deal of care to get things exatly right. There were no shortcuts. Frank, the crew chief, came out more than once prior to the beginning of the work to take measurements and brought a Pella rep with him on one visit to go over in detail how each window was to be installed. Frank also came up with ingenious solutions to needs that came up, such as devising an adequately-wide step outside of one of the new doors. He is a real find and dedicated to quality work and is well-versed in building codes, as is Bernie. Frank has also dropped by personally since the job was completed to answer questions I have had about the windows or doors.. As long as Frank is in charge of Central's installations, the customer doesn't need to worry about the quality of work. The price for the whole project was fair and even with the additional amounts I paid for extra work I requested during installation, I am convinced that I got far more for my money than I would have gotten had any other company, including Pella, done the installation. I cannot recommend Central Roofing and Siding highly enough.
Description of Work: I had Central Roofing and Siding put new windows and doors in my house. I particularly wanted bay windows put in in the living room and kitchen, and hoped to replace the sliding glass doors to my patio with French doors. I had decided on wood and fiberglass Pella windows, and Central is one of the few companies that will install non-vinyl windows. Because putting a bay window in the kitchen would require cutting out part of an exterior wall to enlarge the opening and because the opening into which I wanted to put French doors was barely wide enough, making installation very difficult, I needed to be sure tthat whatever company I hired could do this kind of work in addition to installing new windows and doors. I also wanted a company that knew and followed local building codes.

Central Roofing and Siding was wonderful to work with. You can tell they are a family owned company and take pride in their work. They were courteous, professional, and responsive. When we moved to a new house and saw something on our fairly new roof that we wanted checked out, we didn't hesitate to call Central Roofing. They came promptly, determined the roof was fine, and left with no charge. I highly recommend them.

Had detailed and informative negotiation based on difference in their bid and another that was about $1,000 lower. Explained the differences and came down in price, though not all the way. Work was scheduled and done within a week. They did the roof one day and the gutters/leaf covers the next. They left no mess. I couldn't even tell they had been there, aside from the new roof and gutters. They do limit credit cards to $5000 due to fees. I asked if they would discount total cash/check payment and he offered a small reduction (~1%). Overall, I was very pleased with the people, the work and the result.

The contractor arrived on time as promised. The ridge vent work went well and I was pleased with the products. The paint however was applied right before a rainstorm which the product does not recommend. I noticed white paint coming out of my downspouts after the rain and took pictures. I contacted the company because I have animals who go out in the yard and I was concerned for both their safety and the investment I had made in the roof coating which I expected to last. The company offered to come back, inspect the roof and re-coat the flat roofs at no additional charge. When the contractor came back he said that only one place on the roof paint job appeared to be questionable, but he re-coated the roof anyway.
Description of Work: I needed to replace ridge vents on my house and a rental house next door as per recommendations from a home inspection. Central Roofing and Siding replaced both ridge vents with stronger better quality ridge vents. In addition to this they ordered special paint and coated two flat roofs which much be coated every 3-5 years. They inspected the roof and gave an estimate prior to the work.
