Chairman & CEO Ed Dunlap knew 40+ years ago that it was important to have direct communication with CentiMark's customers. He knew when it came to service, a customer needs to receive answers to requests in a timely manner. This was accomplished by integrating a Toll Free 800 number which connects the customer to knowledgeable and trained CentiMark staff members. Customer Service is able to provide quick, easy and timely results for your service and warranty needs.
