"I think they do excellent work and their cost is reasonable. The cost is $300. That is the least amount of work he will do on a roof. I thought it was reasonable because we have a steep roof and I was not about to go up there myself."

"Fantastic, I am very happy. I have to admit that never having done this before, I was extremely concerned about the chemicals being used and probably worried about it more than I needed to. Steve was excellent about all my questions more than once, and the guys who came out were very helpful, too, wanting to do whatever they could to address my concerns so I was feeling better about the whole thing. I will tell you up front that if you have streaks, do use this service. It looks like I re-roofed my house!!! I cannot believe the difference. I had a great roof that had many years to go on it, but it looked terrible and affected the overall appearance of my home tremendously. Now everything looks incredibly clean and maintained because the roof is clean. About the chemicals, all we did was to hose down the areas where the downspouts were. I even had a beautiful, prized hydrangea bush that I was pretty convinced would be affected, but it turned out it was totally fine. And it was right at the bottom of a downspout. The one downspout that I forgot to pay attention to and hose down (which the guys do help with hosing things down, but I wanted to do extra) ... did have some grass that was affected. But it was only a small amount and even though I was super concerned about the effect it would have on my landscaping, it was nothing like I thought and 100% totally worth it for the outcome. I will work with Steve again in years to come when my roof develops issues again, and I am fully confident he will be in business because it's a great service and he knows how to meet his customers needs and concerns. Truly fabulously happy with this service and so glad I called him. I hated looking at the roof every time I viewed my house from the street ... but now I take my time pulling out of the drive just so I can look at how clean and amazingly new it looks. Honestly, it looks like a brand new roof. Worth every single penny!!!"

"Our Steel roof is over 20 years old and needed some refreshing. We also had some wind damage and a leak. Andy and crew scoured over 8,400 sqft tightening screws and replacing a few bad sections. Followed up a few weeks later guaranteeing his work . "

"The roof is beautiful! Jake Maynard was a pleasure to work with. He was very professional and thorough, answered all of our questions. The crew did an excellent job with cleanup. Our only complaint is they didn't call to schedule the installation when the shingles arrived, we called them. Also, our warranty paperwork didn't get submitted to GAF until we called to inquire about it 5 months later.

"This was our first experience using Elysium to complete both
interior and exterior painting and repair work. Initially we had only
contracted them to do work on the exterior, being satisfied with the level of
detail and the likability of the crew that we worked with, we opted to sign on
for additional work on the interior of our house.
Exterior: Being new homeowners we wanted to make sure that we were being thorough and getting
the most longevity out of the work that we were investing in. The estimator
that Elysium sent out was very knowledgeable and pointed out failures in the
existing paint job as well as several wood repairs that several other
estimators had failed to recognize.
  There were areas of rotten wood concealed by paint, the estimator did
what she called a ?pen? test and took her ink pen and was able to push it
through the fascia boards on our chimney with no effort. This happened on
several areas of the house that other contractors had failed to discover or
address in their estimates. With the discovery of so much carpentry work
needed, we did see a significant increase in the estimate in terms of cost, in
order to have the longest lasting and best-finished product possible the wood
needed to be replaced, had we not received an estimate from Elysium we may have
not discovered the rotten wood until after another contractor had cut corners
in order to give us a lower price point to close the sale. The work itself was
done thoroughly, prep to finish. Between the color change, board replacement
and concise prep and finish work that Elysium did on our place, it looks like a
brand new house.
Interior:
  Since we were so pleased with the result of the
work being done on our exterior, we had Kevin and his crew complete additional
work on the interior of our home. The tacky wallpaper that had been in our
kitchen when we moved in needed to go. I was going to attempt to remedy its
existence myself; after several hours off attempting to remove the wallpaper
myself I decided to let the professionals handle it.  Underneath the wallpaper the drywall needed to be repaired
in several areas. Elysium was able to smooth out the wall underneath and apply
a fresh coat of paint. They also painted our 2-story foyer and hallways. Elysium completed a lot of work on our house, and it was a
job well done. I would recommend them for any paint project you?ve got!

"I came home from work at 815 a.m., found Jake and his crew already cutting limbs off of the Maple tree. Took them five hours to remove several mature pine and maple trees. I went to sleep, but my next door Neighbor said I like the way your tree trimmers work, so I hired them. She is having her tree cut down this weekend, since Jake will be here already I am going to have one more mature pine tree cut down. Note:. I was at work when I gave this review, phones not allowed in facility, sorry no pics. But picture three stumps, no mess, debris or nothing and wood was stacked. Several family members came to retrieve the wood and pleasantly surprised that the wood was all stacked neatly by our fence. I am so very glad I called them."

"Ryan Petty did our inspection. He showed up on time; did a thorough, professional job. He displayed a high amount of knowledge about roofing, structural deficiencies and assessment of remaining life of existing roof. Yet, he was very practical in his recommendations and at no time pressured us to buy unnecessary products or services. He provided us a written assessment of our roof and its overall condition at no cost to us (as we are selling our home in the near future)."

FAQs for roofing installation & roof repair projects in Akron, MI

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.
