Only time will tell whether our roof was properly installed, but the main concern I should alert others to is a) the amount of time it will take and b) the condition of your property while the work is done.
We had to have our roof redone because of wind damage, and Century is one of the approved roofers by our insurance company, State Farm. The estimator was polite and professional, but I think we didn't quite understand the implications of their "strip and reroof the same day" policy. Only one panel per day was done. The roofers arrived at 6:30 a.m. (a bit early to be banging around) and never stayed past 2:30; usually they were gone by noon. Some days, they showed up only to leave an hour or so later. Other days, in perfectly fine weather, they did not show up at all. Once they started (and the shingle pallets lay on our grass for over a week beforehand), allowing for a couple of days of rain, it took over three weeks for our roof to be redone, and for the whole time, on all sides of the property, there was all manner of roofing equipment. When they were finally finished, there remained the infernal strips of clear plastic that blew freely over our property and into our neighbours'. A lot of reroofing was done in our neighbourhood because of damage from the same November windstorm, and we didn't see any other roofers with quite such a slapdash method.
If you use Century, be prepared for a bit of a haul.
