    We called Cenvar to investigate a roof leak that we suspected came from a roof boot. While the estimator was friendly and professional, he ultimately misdiagnosed the issue. …

    Thank you for taking the time to provide this feedback. We sincerely regret that your overall experience was frustrating, despite your satisfaction with the main shingle work. We strive for every customer experience to be seamless, and we apologize for the extensive issues you encountered over the course of the project. Regarding the Custom Skylight: We acknowledge the significant delays and challenges involved in resolving the issue with your 6x6 custom skylight. We involved our technical teams and worked directly with the manufacturer, Velux, to address what proved to be a complex issue on their end, which ultimately required a third replacement unit. We are glad the issue finally settled down and was resolved in April. Regarding the Gazebo Structure: We understand your frustration regarding the deteriorated framing found on your gazebo cupola. While we informed you of our "no structural work" policy, we apologize for the communication failure regarding the severity of the rotten wood and the potential risk before completing the roofing. We offered to return and remove the new roofing materials so you could hire a separate contractor for the necessary repairs. We regret that this resolution came too late, as you had already hired another company to complete the work. We sorted through all of our recorded communications and are sure that we did all that was in our power to get you a solution quickly. Unfortunately we were unable to do so because of large gaps of time where we were unable to get a response back. We take all feedback seriously and appreciate you bringing these items to our attention. We have reviewed our communication protocols to ensure we better handle potential structural issues moving forward. Sincerely, Cenvar Roofing Management

    If I could give zero stars I would. First I will start with the small stuff-leaving trash and uneaten food in our yard and busting our bird feeder. Now to the more serious offenses- they left more nails in our driveway than I can count, backed over our landscaping pavers with a large commercial truck, burying them in the ground and then proceed to drive into our rock landscaping and hitting our porch with the truck. The top railing of the porch is not even with the rest of the railing and the posts in the ground are now loose. They supposedly fixed our porch but the railing and posts are still pushed in from the truck. Huge mistake to use Cenvar.

    Hi Jennifer, we are sorry to hear about your experience and appreciate you sharing your feedback. Our team has already reached out and we are actively working with you to come to a satisfactory resolution. We value the opportunity to connect and make this right.

    Thank you for taking the time to share your experience, Bret. We are truly sorry that your roofing project left you feeling frustrated, and even more so that this frustration overshadowed the parts of the job that went well. While we are grateful that you recognized the hard work of our installation crew, we know that excellence requires more than just good craftsmanship. It also means listening, following through, and honoring the trust you placed in us. You were clear and consistent about the vent installation, and we missed the mark. It was a breakdown in communication and accountability on our end. We understand how upsetting it is to have to undo new work and to question the integrity of what has been done. That is not the experience we ever want to leave with a customer. As a company that strives to operate with integrity and precision, we are taking this situation seriously. Your concerns have already prompted internal conversations to ensure that when a customer speaks up, it is heard, documented, and followed through without exception. We also provided you with a lifetime workmanship warranty for the vent area because we stand behind the fix and want you to feel confident in the roof over your head. If there is ever anything more we can do to make this right, we are listening.

    Recently my father had a roof installed by Cenvar, and while the roof looks pretty good, I have tremendous problems with the clean up. The one employee who was responsible for clean up spent more time on his phone than picking up nails. I …

    Hi Jenny, we apologize deeply for the very poor experience you had with us. We would love to look further into this and be able to make it right.

We want you to know we take this very seriously and truly desire to make it right.

    Just saw one of their trucks lose an extension ladder on I64 in Charlottesville. Another vehicle had to run over it. Nearly caused major accidents. All because one of their employees didn’t take the time to properly secure a ladder. Makes you question their work.

    Thanks for bringing this to our attention. Safety is incredibly important to us, both on the road and on the job, and we’re taking this very seriously. We’re investigating the incident right away to ensure it doesn't happen again.

    If you have a smaller, simple repair job look somewhere else for your gutter and roof repair. I got way over quoted for a repair job that should in reality have been much, much less costly. Also, the communication the company provides is poor, I was not informed how they and invoice the work which left me in the dark. I had to try and contact them multiple times to get the work finished for the job. On top of that the estimator I worked with was rude, patronizing, and unhelpful. The work was fine but maybe only use them for larger jobs and if someone else who has deep pockets pays for the work.

    Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We’re truly sorry to hear that you were disappointed with the communication and service you received, and we understand how frustrating that must have been. At Cenvar Roofing, we strive to make our pricing as fair and transparent as possible, while maintaining a high standard of quality and workmanship for every project—big or small. That said, your feedback is important, and we’re using it as an opportunity to improve both our communication process and the customer experience. We also regret that your interaction with our estimator left a negative impression. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention and hope to have the opportunity to earn back your trust in the future.

    Called Cenvar for an estimate in late Fall 2023. The price seemed to be high, so we decided to wait until this spring. In February Cenvar started a promotion "supposable" sale offering 20% off labor. …

    I understand why you found this situation frustrating. I did some investigating. We gave you the first estimate on your roof in late August of 2023 for $13,553. With the 5% cash discount we were offering then it dropped the total price to $12,875. We updated your price in late January of 2024 to $13,635, and with the seasonal discount on labor it dropped the total to $13,079. You are correct that in the 5 months between estimates we discontinued the cash discount offer. It is not a bait and switch however. Our prices have gone up slightly, and although the seasonal discount has expired, we have not, and will not, reinstated the cash discount. Our salesman did not escalate this issue to our sales manager. I wish he had because we likely would have made some concessions. Regarding your attempts to reach me, I asked our call center to check the records. They could not find any record of your call beyond the one in January asking for your estimate to be updated. It is possible you called from a different number, but I did not ever get any messages. I get many spam calls and our call center has strict instructions not to pass messages through unless the caller identifies themselves and the purpose of their call. If I had received your messages, I would have passed your concerns along to our sales manager. I am happy that this ended well for you in that you found another company to give you excellent service. -Chris Good

    We just got a new roof from Cenvar. We love the work they provided. They were fast and professional. The project manager, Christian, was like part of the family. Him and the crew went above and beyond to ensure we were happy with the project from beginning to end and afterwards. I would not want anyone else other company then Cenvar to provide these types of services for our family home.

    Sam has higher management potential for sure. He balanced for our 2 rental houses 2 jobs per house getting his team there. He interfaced with my schedule availability and that of the renters. We’re totally satisfied with both roofs and gutters. Sam is professional and personable and he delivered on time all the while keeping us appraised long distance of status and progress His type of dependable service is why we’ve chosen Cenvar before and will recommend him and you all highly. His communication and organization skills are outstanding- please give him a raise and promotion.

    This was a great overall experience, very professional, project manager was overseeing everything so I didn’t have to worry about a thing. The windows were installed in a timely manner, the workmanship was excellent and the windows made the house look clean and new again.
