"A friend referred Steve, & we are very grateful as he was local roofer, friendly, professional & helped work with insurance company. The guys worked hard & had new roof on in no time. They replaced, intact, our lightning globe on our 2-1/2 story Victorian. Most impressive was their prep & cleanup. They put down the usual tarps; afterward they cleaned, swept our patio, etc and left it looking better!!! Have already referred to friends."

"Due to a recent storm my family and I were in need of a new roof, we were referred by a neighbor to go with synergy roofing group. All in all they made a horrible situation a very pleasant and quick experience. From the estimate to project installment it was a quick easy and painless experience. If I ever find myself in this same predicament there is only one name I will be choosing. Thank you guys from my family to yours."

"Perfect. I enjoyed getting to sit in the storm shelters at their showroom to help with size selection. After signing up for the install, they connect you to an online portal to manage the contract and to update building permit number, etc. Installation was prompt and clean."

"I woke up on Monday this past week to a loud banging noise at around 7:00am in the morning. I looked outside my deck doors and high up near the roof my side shingle had broke loose and was dangling. It was extremely, dangerously high winds close to 50 miles per hour with sleeting snow. My fear is that it would break away and the winds would slam it into the home next to ours possibly damaging their property. I began to pray hoping that I could find a contractor willing to come out to repair it on such a horrible day with the winds, sleeting snow and freezing cold. A few contractors said no but one contractor recommended I call Jimmy's Construction. So I called and sent a picture of the side shingle dangling and Jimmy agreed to come and do the repairs. I was so thankful to God for impressing upon his heart to do the job. When Jimmy arrived he had the replacement side shingle, his tall ladder and the tools needed to remove the dangling shingle and install the new one. I offered to hold the ladder which was so tall due to the extremely high winds and sleeting snow as I was concerned for his safety. So, Jimmy proceeded to do the job and had to remove one glove so that he could hold onto the nails needed to secure the shingle back up near the roof which was very high. When he completed the job his hands were cold and red so he went to his truck for a bit then came inside our home still cold as we got all the info needed to submit payment. Someone had told me at the beginning that I would not find a contractor to come out due to the extreme weather but Jimmy Construction came out, was professional, efficient and kind. Therefore I highly recommend their services and will retain their contact information when we are ready to get our deck finished as you can see some of the work he has done on his FB page. It was an answer to prayer and I'm so thankful for his professional services. ?????"

"Ernie Haas provided a very thorough examination of our roof which enabled us (after much back and forth with our roofer (DCF Contracting)) to ensure that all necessary and required repairs were made to our roof. Mr. Haas stayed in contact with us for more than a month to ensure that any questions or issues we had were addressed."

"Nate and his crew were awesome. They had some of the summer's worst heat, rain, etc and they still appeared each and everyday on time and ready to work. We've had so many people tell us how fantastic the house looks. They fixed problems that we didn't even realize were problems (like a hornets nest under an overhang). We would definitely hire them again, and in fact are already planning what we would like to have done next. Never did they ask for payment up front, not even a deposit. That's just not heard of these days. The office staff, specifically Liz, was there to walk us through all the different financing options available, and was a true pleasure to work with. We went with a higher end product versus vinyl siding, we cannot get over the difference it has made in our gas and electric bill as well as how quiet our home is now. Again, we would highly recommend them."

"Horrible, quality of work was horrible, billed me for work that was not even done on my property. Will not take charges off the invoice for the work that was not done. I refuse to pay for work that was not done and they will not return my phone calls to discuss the discrepancy on the invoice and now put a lien on my property even though I paid for the work that was actually done. They will not release the lien or discuss the invoice with me. I would not recommend them at all."

"Rory did a great job of cleaning out our gutters. They did not charge us anything as we had a free warranty on plugged up gutters, when they installed them. We have 13 old tall pine trees around our house and this is the first time they plugged partially up since installed in 2009, probably because of all the rain, wind, hail, we have received this spring."

FAQs for roofing installation & roof repair projects in Ainsworth, IA

An average Cape Cod roof-raising project requires approximately two to three months from start to finish. The timeline depends on several variables, including weather conditions, contractor availability, material delivery schedules, and the specific complexity of your home's structure. The process involves multiple phases, including demolition, framing, roofing, window installation, and interior finishing. Working with an experienced contractor who provides a detailed timeline can help set realistic expectations for the project duration.

While most Cape Cod homes can accommodate roof-raising modifications, each house requires individual structural assessment. Older homes may need foundation reinforcement or wall strengthening before supporting additional weight. Factors like the existing roof framing system, load-bearing wall placement, and overall structural integrity all influence feasibility. A qualified structural engineer should evaluate your specific property before proceeding with design plans. Additionally, local zoning ordinances may restrict maximum building height or architectural modifications in certain neighborhoods.

Temporary relocation is highly recommended during a Cape Cod roof raising project. The construction process involves removing portions of your existing roof, exposing interior spaces to potential weather damage, and creating significant noise and dust. Most homeowners find temporary accommodations for the two to three-month construction period, with relocation costs ranging from $2,000 to $6,000, depending on your housing choices. If staying with family or friends isn't possible, budget for short-term rental or extended-stay hotel expenses as part of your overall project cost.

Consider roof raising when you experience severely limited headroom throughout the second floor, find yourself constantly stooping under sloped ceilings, or have minimal usable floor space due to low ceiling heights. Other indicators include inadequate natural light, poor ventilation, and difficulty accommodating standard furniture in upstairs rooms. Simple renovations can improve an attic's appearance, but cannot create additional headroom without structural modifications. A complete roof-raising project makes more sense than cosmetic renovations if you're seeking genuine second-floor living space rather than just storage improvements.

Begin your search by seeking contractors with specific experience in Cape Cod structural modifications and dormer additions. Request detailed portfolios showing similar completed projects and ask for references from previous clients with comparable work. Verify that potential contractors hold appropriate licenses and insurance coverage and understand local building codes relevant to roof raising. Interview multiple candidates, comparing price quotes and their communication style, project approach, and proposed timeline. The ideal contractor should demonstrate a thorough understanding of Cape Cod architectural characteristics and structural requirements.
