We recently closed on a house. A condition of the sale was that a licensed roofing company make repairs to the slate roof before closing. The seller provided us with a receipt for the work, done by Sentury Roofing. I called and spoke with them. I was told that the work was done and the roof was "In great condition". Well, 48 hours after we purchased the house, it started to rain. We hired painters to paint the inside of the upstairs apartment. They advised me that water was seeping through the ceiling and paint would not stick. I checked the attic, and found at least 3 serious water leaks! I immediately called Sentury and asked if they could come take a look at it. They told me to mark the leaks from the inside, and they would come look. Well, a week later they are not answering calls and not returning messages. They apparently do NOT stand behind their work. I now have to pay another company to come and repair their work. I would avoid this company.
Update:
We were forced to hire another roofer, who stated that there were sections of ridge cap completely missing from the roof, as well as several sections of slate. Apparently, Sentury either never did any of the work they claim to have done, or they are simply not very good at what they do. read more
