The workmen arrived promptly the day they were scheduled. In order to work on the insulation issues, the bottom sheeting boards on the roof had to be removed, then the insulation crew had to work on that area, and then new boards had to go on. The crews were well organized and coordinated with each other well. The entire job of insulating and roofing was done in a little less than three days.
The crew did an excellent job of cleaning up -- there was never any litter or trash abound our house. The crew was polite and professional.
One small area of damage occurred when a worker slipped and cracked the ceiling on one of our bedrooms. Unfortunately we did not notice this until after the job was completed, as it was in a guest room. When I called about it, there was no questions or issues -Central Roofing had a drywaller come to repair and then paint the area that had been damaged.

It went well. It was quite hot most of the week, so some days they had to knock off early, but that had no affect on the final outcome

The crew is extremely friendly and very qualified. Unlike a lot of other crews, these have been together for years. They are not just summer hires. Their workmanship is without compare. The only problem is that they are expensive but the boss told us that outright. We found out later we could have gotten a much cheaper roof installed but it would have also been a lower grade shingle.
So I guess you get what you pay for. We had one slight problem initially with the roof and they responded and fixed it promptly.
Overall, you can not beat them for quality and superior workmanship - it is the price that hurts.

Schedulig was difficult due to vendor workload and weather. Once work was started it was completed in 2 days with good results. The roof looks the same 7 years later as when it was replaced. I assisted slightly to learn and watch progress and quality,

Central Home Improvements is thoroughly organized and professional from initial contact to the end of the job and beyond. We've had a lot of work done (roofing, electric, flooring, energy, patio) on the house over the past several of years and CHI was the easiest to deal with out of any of the contractors, service providers and other folks we've worked with. Don worked with us patiently in going over a number of different roofing options, and for a metal roof, CHI was definitely the best combination of affordability, quality and ability to get the job done when we needed it. They had to work in conjunction with a solar-panel installer, and that process appeared to go seamlessly, even though the two had never worked together before.
I can't really judge the quality of the roof any better than the next non-expert, but everything about this company made it seem trustworthy and honest. It's only been about eight months, but the gutters have certainly been tested in a pretty wet year and were installed exactly in the odd configurations I wanted, but with full discussion and suggestions from Don. The roof looks great and we've had no problems. And the small skylight -- a light tunnel, really -- is fantastic. Well worth the $800 or so we spent. You'd think a one-foot hole in the roof couldn't make a huge difference, but even on dreary days it's like having a gentle but bright lamp in a place that used to be gloomy all the time. Fantastic dispersion of natural light. My sister-in-law was looking for a way to turn it off the first time she saw it (and that was a grey afternoon).
Really, there's not a lot I remember about the actual work, even though it went on for a long time and we had to coordinate a lot of stuff with our neighbors and CHI because of our small, cramped, shared driveway. We have a century-old home and it wasn't easy work, but the fact that it went so smoothly and I can't remember much of it now is a testament to CHI's professionalism.
A few months later they sent us an invitation to their annual employee and customer appreciation dinner. Something about that feels kind of odd, since we really didn't get to know the crew very well (they pretty much refused to even come in to use the bathroom -- perhaps a company policy). Yet those kind of things make us appreciate Central Home's attention to detail. Had we not just come back from a long trip, we might have gone ahead and gone to the party anyway! It was certainly a good idea. Great company to do business with.

All aspects of my experience with Central Home Improvements met or exceeded my expectations. From getting the estimate to completing the job, all work was done on time and as promised. They made some modifications on the fly from the original plan at my request and even fixed some siding issues, all within the original quoted pricing. I would use CHI again for any related work I needed. It's rare and refreshing these days to find contractors that know what they are doing and provide quality work at a fair price.

handled very well including unforeseen circumstances

Their service was excellent. If I have any other jobs that I can not do my self then I will hire them again. They are all around good to work with. They are courteous, nice and do a follow up. I can not say anything bad about them.

They did very good work. They are very helpful in answering questions and knowledgeable. They were easy to work with, on time and I would recommend them to anyone.

They are always prompt and professional. Estimates are done in a timely manner. Clean up is done at the end of each day.

I have come to trust the ownership, office staff and crew of CHI. They DO what they say they are going to do.

Remodeling almost always includes some and quot;surprisesand quot;. With CHI I know that the problems will be solved efficiently and effectively and the construction will be top quality craftsmanship.

You won't be disappointed if you do business with Central Home Improvements.

They were very prompt in replacing the rubber roof, they squeezed us in because of the shape of the roof. We are very pleased with them.

It took a while before they could schedule the work, as they were bringing workers several miles to get to my home. However, they kept me apprised of their start date. They were at work very nearly before dawn each morning (and they were driving over an HOUR to get to my home), they worked in sections so that no part of my roof was left exposed to the elements for very long (it was a complete tear off situation). It took them less than 2 weeks, the job site was clean every day when they left, they parked their vehicles along the road so as not to block my driveway (or the driveways of my neighbors). The workers were very professional (no swearing, no loud music, no yelling), very friendly and a job to have around. I couldn't be happier with the process and the roof is absolutely WONDERFUL - it is heavy gauge steel but looks exactly like a regular roof. It has embedded gravel, so it looks like real shingles, and has noise deadening properties. Even in a hard rain the roof is NOT noisy - even through the cathedral ceiling or open windows. The work is great and the product (Decra shingles) is way better than I expected - rated to withstand winds up to something like 100 mph and high fire resistance, I don't expect to need another roof in my lifetime, but I would certainly go back to Jerry and Central Home Improvements if I did!

Initially they sent a representative to scope out the job and develop an estimate. They agreed with us that the existing shingles made by CertainTeed in the early 90's were defective and assisted us in filling a claim with CertainTeed. They provided samples of shingles for color matching and ordered the shingles after we accepted the contract. They called several days in advance to schedule the job. They did the job in two days with a crew of 3. They were courteous and polite in every respect.

Overall, our experience with Central Home Improvements wa extremely positive. This was out first experience with a large-scale home remodeling project and we couldn't be happier with the results.

Our estimate was completed in a timely manner, with a meeting to review the estimate and answer our questions. We were given advance notice before each of the three crews (roof, siding and gutters) arrived to our house to do any work. The roof was completed first and mid-way through the project, the crew accommodated our request to blow more insulation into the attic (this was not included in the original plan). As the roof project came to a close, the siding team arrived. They worked diligently, weather permitting, and even removed the extra and quot;oldand quot; siding tucked in our garage and a few other items that we didn't expect their help with. It was fun to come home each day and see the progress that had been made on the house! As the siding project wrapped up, the gutter team came to install the gutters and gutter guard.

Each and every Central Home Improvement employee was friendly and professional. The work crews displayed great attention to detail and amazing craftsmanship. I enjoyed talking with them at each stage of the process; we could see that they took great pride in their work and were just as excited about the transformation of our house as we were. In addition, the clean-up at the end of every day was fantastic. With two dogs and a three year old son, I was worried about nails and other pieces of material on the ground. We never ran into any issues realted to clean-up, and the area around the house was immaculate at the end of the day with all needed supplies and materials neatly organized in the back yard.

As our three year old son says, and quot;Mr. Art (the crew leader) made our house beautifuland quot; and we couldn't agree more. We' were so happy to have had such a good experience with this project and would definitely recommend Central Home Improvements to our friends!

GREAT!

Garage roof was leaking. Replaced with a rubber roof.
