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.
"Thank you [Member Name Removed] for the kind words, you were a pleasure to work for."
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.
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.
"Thank you for the great compliments. We look forward to working with you in the future."
"Thank you for all the great compliments. It was a pleasure working with you."
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.
"It has been a pleasure working with you on all your different projects over the past nine years. You have a great vision of what you would like and that along with our quality products and knowledgeable staff, helped make your projects turn out awesome. You are a great customer and we appreciate all your business."
"We are glad to hear that you are pleased with the work done so far. We will see you in the spring to complete the removal of shingles and install new shingles."
"Thank you for the kind words, it was a pleasure working for you and your roof looks great. Have a wonderful winter!"
"Thank you for the all the great compliments. It was a pleasure working with you."
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!
"Member - It was a pleasure doing business with you. Your project turned out great. Thank you for your trust in our company. Bob Polzin - Sales Representive Jerry & Dawn Haasl and Crew"
