"Awful installation. One issue after another. The project was "finished" March 2024. 1) Damage to property The installation process seemed to go smoothly, but upon inspection, I noted a ripped screen, damaged windowsill, and a shorn tree trunk (small tree out in front). Clearly it was done from something falling off the roof during installation. I took photos. I sent them to the project manager (via text and email). No response. I got a call from the marketing department asking if my home (and myself) could be featured on the website. I said, sure. Fix my ripped screen first! The marketer said that she'd contact the project manager directly. She did. Finally, 2 hours later after 6 days of silence, the project manager gets back to me. He said, "I saw the photos. I asked my crew. They said that it was like that before". My response: No. It wasn't. He then said that he'd be out the next day to fix it himself. He never showed. He FINALLY showed up an finally fixed the shredded screen. (I didn't mention the squashed downspout). 2) A tile from the roof came off. I contacted the original point man, and he came out immediately to re-attach it. 3) We noticed water damage to the ceiling in the bedroom. Multiple places where there was CLEARLY water getting into the house. I've tried 3 times now to get a response. Nothing so far. AVOID THIS COMPANY."

Century Roofing is a locally owned family business serving the Kansas City metro area. We attribute our success to a very diligent staff with over 30 years experience in the roofing industry giving the public what it deserves: quality workmanship at competitive pricing. In other words, treating people the way they would like to be treated.
"Don't trust Century Roofing because they don't stand by their work, and they are not trustworthy. I've had Century Roofing replace my roof 6/2019. They gave me a quote to replace my roof and included in the contract was to replace a "RUSTED HVAC FURNACE FLASHING". I thought they would do a great job, so I paid them to replace the roof and all the pipes and flashing on the roof. I trusted them that this was done as per the contract. I didn't ask for pictures of all the pipes and work on top of the roof. In May of 2020, there was a big storm and we noticed that this HVAC heating stack had the top blown open. Upon closer inspection, we can see that the RUSTED FURNACE FLASHING and cap was NEVER replaced as listed on the contract. When I contacted them to replace it, they told me I had to have a HVAC specialist come out and replace the pipe, and they would not fix this RUSTED HVAC Flashing. They told me they would never replace anything that had to do with HVAC even though it was on the contract and clearly all heating stack flashing is replaced when a new roof is installed. I've never heard of any HVAC person going on the roof to replace anything. Century Roofing does not do what is listed on their contract and they do not stand by their work. Please be very careful when dealing with Century Roofing. I would not use them again and would not recommend them in the future."

"I had Premier come out to replace my composite over shake roof and my gazebo roof. I had insurance to cover the cost. The good: Great quality No complaints for my house. No problems with insurance, Premier took care of it $250 referral reward thanks to Patrick The bad: Had to deal with not know when people came When the came they would leave without me inspecting to work They treated Patrick like a mule. No medical leave. Process started in June and lasted to October Offer $200 of a $15,000 bill (1.33% discount) Premier Problems Before anything happened I had to ask them to erase the chalk they had used to mark damage. First time the roofers came they didn’t know that my roof was composite. They had to return the next day. They left lots of wood in my attic. I had to demand someone to clean it up. They did assign a guy who did a good job. They replaced the gutter covers, but didn’t replace them all (said they were broken with no evidence). Strips did not completely cover the gazebo. One corner was not glued properly. The top of the gazebo lacked the metal around it They came and added the metal top without contacting me They came once to fix the strips and didn’t have any strips. They came a second time with new strips, but left one length of original strip They came by a third time and replaced the last strip and added more tar to the top. Even though the metal casing is not uniform around the top, the tar made it less obvious. There was one tile I had complained about, and finally Patrick climbed the ladder and finished it off. Also discovered late was the brick had been damaged while they did the roof (I think). There are still indentations on the brick and pavement. There is still chalk on my 2nd floor windows, but someone is coming out."

Professional contractors complete solar tube installations within several hours per unit, depending on roof accessibility and interior finishing requirements. The process involves precise measurement, careful roof penetration, tube assembly, and interior diffuser mounting. Factors like roof complexity, attic obstructions, or custom finishing details may extend the timeline. For safety and efficiency, professional installation proceeds more rapidly than DIY approaches.
Solar tubes provide more cost-effective natural lighting than conventional skylights, particularly for smaller spaces or limited budgets. While traditional skylights offer open sky views and ventilation options, tubular alternatives deliver comparable illumination at substantially lower installation costs. Solar tubes also require smaller roof openings, reducing structural modifications and potential leak points. Your specific needs regarding aesthetics, budget, and lighting requirements should guide this decision.
Solar tubes remain effective even in regions with frequent cloud cover, though illumination intensity naturally decreases during overcast conditions. Their highly reflective interior surfaces maximize ambient light, providing meaningful brightness even without direct sunlight. For locations with extended cloudy periods, consider models with supplemental lighting options that activate automatically when natural light diminishes. Most homeowners find that solar tubes provide worthwhile illumination benefits regardless of regional weather patterns.
Quality solar tubes provide an average of 20 years of effective illumination before noticeable dimming occurs. Premium models with enhanced materials and professional installation may extend performance up to 50 years, depending on environmental conditions and maintenance practices. Manufacturers often back their products with 10 to 25-year warranties covering materials and performance. Regular inspection and occasional dome cleaning help maximize operational lifespan.
Solar tubes work most effectively in rooms with direct roof access above them. Upper-floor spaces like bathrooms, hallways, and closets make ideal candidates for these lighting solutions. Installation becomes more challenging in rooms without vertical access to the roof, such as in multi-level homes or beneath attics with complex obstructions. Extended tubing configurations may provide solutions for spaces without direct roof access, though with potentially reduced light transmission.
Properly installed solar tubes with appropriate flashing and sealing should not cause roof leaks. Most water infiltration issues stem from incorrect installation techniques or unsuitable materials for specific roof types. Using manufacturer-recommended flashing kits designed for your roofing material significantly reduces leak risks. Regular inspection of exterior seals and prompt attention to any signs of moisture help prevent potential water damage. Professional installation provides the best protection against leakage concerns.
