"As always, our goal here at Central is to try and make every single customer 100% satisfied and happy with the work we perform on their homes. I'd like to respond to this review because this is not reflective of what actually happened for this customer. We finished this customer's roof and a couple of days after the roof was completed, the customer emailed my salesperson, Jon, a message that [Member Name Removed] there was a piece of plastic wrap left on the roof and that a piece of the siding was damaged. That email arrived at 11:10a. Jon responded to that email at 1:37p and indicated that our roofing foreman would be out to remove the plastic, but that the siding damage occurred before we started working on the roof. In fact, we have a picture of the damage from our initial inspection. My foreman arrived later that day to remove the plastic. From a customer service standpoint, I believe Jon and my roofing foreman demonstrated excellent service. They responded quickly and took action right away (as we usually do). I'm sorry this customer doesn't agree, but we do have the picture of the damaged siding that was taken over a month before we ever started working on the roof."
"I'm happy that this customer's roof is fine, but the review here is not entirely accurate. We installed this roof in 2012. At the time, we had a discussion with the homeowner about the best ways to ventilate her attic. It was decided that since she has an A-frame roof, a ridge vent will be the most efficient method of exhaust ventilation for her attic. She had an existing attic fan and we let her know at that time that we would remove the attic fan. The science of attic ventilation, which we have gone to several professional level continuing education seminars to study, indicates that you should never have an attic fan on the same roof as a ridge vent. What happens is that the attic fan "short-circuits" the airflow in the attic and actually makes the home less efficient. For that reason, we always remove attic fans when we install ridge vents. This customer called a few days ago and said we removed the attic fan 5 years ago and now her attic was hot (this was after the first couple of 90 degree days for the season). She was told by her HVAC company that the reason why the attic was hot is because the attic fan was removed. That's completely not true. I explained to her the science of why we removed the attic fan, but based upon this review it seems like she is not convinced. I'm really sorry that we are disagreeing on this point, but we feel like we did the best thing for the house based upon our knowledge and experience with roofing best practices. I offered the customer several suggestion to help cool down the house. The 2 best solutions would be to increase the amount of attic insulation and to do a trim capping service where we ensure there is adequate airflow into the attic by installing ventilated vinyl soffits."
