Central Roofing

We hired Central Roofing for a full re-roof that was completed in October 2023 and are glad to have partnered with them on this project. We obtained 4 quotes and decided to go with Central Roofing because of the affordability and positive feedback from other customers.

Fabian was very responsive whenever we had a question about the project. The project was very straightforward it took 3 days (2 days re-roof and 1 day for re-stucco on chimney). The crew kept our property clean just like it was before the project started.

One thing that I really appreciated is that we found out after the completion of the project (2 months later) that our gutters had some standing water and needed to be re-sloped. Fabian kindly sent someone out to fix it at no cost.

We will be going back to Fabian and Central Roofing for our roofing needs.

We decided to go with central roofing after seeing them install a new the roof on our neighbors home. They were quick orderly and professional. When it came to our roof which was previously tar and gravel they did a meticulous job of replacing any wood that was damaged. We are satisfied with the job performed.

Central Roofing provided great service when we needed a full roof repair. They were professional and thorough. Most importantly, Fabian communicated with me consistently throughout, which gave me peace of mind. At first, I didn't get a call back from them after several tries which concerned me, but as soon as I was put in touch with Fabian, it was smooth sailing as he communicated consistently via text and phone calls. I found them to offer one of the best labor & material warranties available from local roof repair companies, on top of being a long-standing and highly reputable company, which made me feel certain that they were the right choice for our home and our family. I would highly recommend Central Roofing to friends or colleagues.

Central tried very hard to make things right after my initial bad experience. They came the next day to fix the fallen shingle and anything else they could find. They also offered to pay for new gutters on the back of the house after I mentioned I was about to replace them (that was $4,500). And, they've been out once more since then for an aesthetic touch-up. After this recent atmospheric river I looked around for more issues but nothing stood out. I'm happy to see the new roof holding up to the beating, and relieved they've been so responsive.

Thank you Central Roofing for replacing the ancient, leaking tar-and-gravel roof on my in-laws' San Francisco home with a perfect new TPO Cool Roof. Central's crew even moved some bulky-trash-pickup items out of the driveway for their truck, then moved them back afterwards, without a complaint. The work was done in a single day at very reasonable cost (including the permitting and inspection work, which is NOT a task I want to take on again myself!)... All in all, I highly recommend this company.

I got a number of quotes from roofers before I selected Central Roofing. What stood out to me was that they worked with an electrician to remove my solar panels and reinstall them after re-roofing, so that the panel installation was still covered under their warranty and it made scheduling everything much easier. The new roof and gutters look great.

Looking for the right contractor is a PITA, especially when something is supposed to last 30-50 years, one must do their DD. I called about 6 of them, checked all credentials and read reviews, spoke with them.

A heads up of another contractor that I spoke with, a total used car salesman, all he did was looked at my roof from Google Earth's satellite image, never offered to come out to see it in person, pretty much started out stating that the best method is to leave the 24 year old singles and doing an overlay, claiming it'll last 50 years, which will cause the roof to be almost twice as heavy (probably because he does not want to do a full tear off to save time and money for himself), plus he said he'll throw in 2 roof vents for free for an almost 2000 sq ft roof, well, a roof vent is suggested per every 400 sq ft, so for my roof, it should be 6 total, so watch out. The company name starts with Ac... in San Francisco (read some of their negative comments and owner's replies, unbelievable).

Anyway, now about Central Roofing, I thoroughly checked their credentials, reviews and spoke with them, not much issues contacting them or getting call backs/email replies. They are GAF certified (GAF is the manufacturer of the roofing supplies that they use and they have to go by GAF's installation requirements to qualify for GAF's warranty). Yes, I read some of their negative reviews, but one has to take those with a grain of salt, because not all customers are always right. I set up an appointment to get a quotation, the guy came out on time and provided a quote soon after, I asked the estimator about the roof vents, he suggested 6 low profile, just like I expected. I agreed and told them to go ahead with the job, they gave me an estimated time, but due to the weather, it got pushed back once or twice. When the weather was permissible, they contacted me on when they will start and they did start as promised in the beginning of December 2023. It took them two days to do a full tear off and complete the installation, including some small sections of gutter replacement. Workers were very polite and professional, cleans up after each day. Since completion, there were many days with heavy rain and I checked the attic each time and so far found no signs of leak. The roof vents during those windy and rainy days, when I checked the attic, I could feel a nice cool breeze blowing around. One last thing, I am not sure if Central Roofing will do this automatically or one must request it, to have them bring a Portable Restroom, they did not mention that to me, but I did request them to have one set up, so they did from a third party company and it's called Honey Bucket, lol.

See image of completed roof that their worker took, I dunno, maybe he took the image with a potato/potatoe :-) Also, they did text me images periodically during the installation process.

As of now, am extremely satisfied with their service, no complaints at all and that's what you want from a contractor.

We had a worn out tar and gravel roof and central roofing installed a shingled roof and new gutters and downspouts for us. Their price was competitive and they were kind enough to take care of the dry rot in our soffits and some barge rafters.

Fabian came and did an initial assessment and was quick to give a quote. The price was very reasonable. The actual work was good, but they could use more communication regarding the delays. I would still recommend them or hire them again, but just know that you may need to get involved.

Excellent team. Every person I worked with was amazing and thorough. I was worried about the work crew because English skills were limited. But we found a way to communicate and they were excellent tradesmen. Efficient and smart. Highly recommend this company and team.
