"The repair job went WAY better than expected! Ronnie was wonderful! He was straightforward about the work they were doing. They discovered some unexpected areas that really needed addressed. He explained the situation and probably outcomes to me as well as his concerns. Although it ended up. being more money, it was my decision based on what he showed me. Well worth the extra money - my roof and chimney will never leak again. I am grateful for the quality of work that was done on my roof and chimney rebuild. Absolutely would recommend Joyland Roofing to anyone and everyone. Great guys, great price and great quality! Thanks for everything!"

"I gave Daniel a call and he came after half an hour. He inspected the whole roof and repaired the places where shingles were off and sealed the other shingles susceptible to strong wind. Very professional job that he did! Explained to me the pros and cons of different types of shingles and told me that my roof could probably hold up for another five years. And the price is very reasonable, given that he has to hire a driver to come here as well. He was polite and reasonable and asked for my approval to do anything. Highly recommended!"

"Company and staff were professional and did a very good repair for a reasonable price in a timely manner. The roof was only 10 years old so it was good to find a company that would do the repair. I will remember them when it comes time to replace later."

"Sam and hi family and staff worked in the heat wave of the summer in 2022. a three week roofing project. Our house has 5 chimneys, multiple barrel dormers on the third floor. There were 2 asphalt roofs that had to be taken off - and taken away. They were up on the roof every morning at 7 am, took their short lunch breaks - and got back up there. We heard them singing - in the heat . It was a lovely experience. Great attention to detail. We cannot recommend them enough. They are worth the wait . very fairly priced. hard workers."

"Stoney Ridge Home Improvements, LLC replaced the decking & railings on the second floor deck that is off of the master bedroom. They also replaced the railings on the front porch several years ago and this year they replaced the decking on the deck at the back of the house. Jake and the crew were very professional during the entire installation, even after discovering mama skunk and her 4 babies that had taken up residence under the back corner of the deck. The crew cleaned up at the end of each days work leaving the site looking presentable. Attached are some before and after photos. I would highly recommend Stoney Ridge Home Improvements for your next project."

"Very impressed with responsiveness, professionalism, technology, and value provided by Gunner Roofing. The copper flashing was pulling away from around my chimney and looked like it was in need of repair or replacement. I had previously worked with another well reviewed roofing company on Angie's List that missed my scheduled appointment to examine my chimney flashing. So I was very pleased when Andrew from Gunner showed up exactly when promised, and I was quite fascinated with his use of a drone to take precise aerial photographs of the work to be performed from all angles - a rather tech savvy approach. Gunner provided a detailed estimate within hours, that was only 1/3 the cost of the estimate I ultimately received from that other roofer. Gunner Roofing completed the work on time, and did a very satisfactory job. This was a relatively modest project, but based on my experience, I hope to use Gunner Roofing when it comes time to redo my entire roof."

"Please let me share my experience with this roofing outfit. Titus and the Detwiler crew are exceptional. Not only do they know how to put up a roof, they also have the greatest customer service skills I have ever seen of any contractor. Let me start from the beginning. First of all, my house is not small. It is a 200 year old farmhouse that has had several additions added over the last few hundred years, which makes for a lot of ridges and slopes and all that. I used Angie's List to get some more roofing estimates, as the estimates I had already received were over my budget. I emailed them And Titus called and texted me the next morning. We made an appointment that fit my schedule. Titus and one of his brothers showed up on time to give me an estimate. They actually showed up five minutes earlier than our scheduled appointment, which is a great way to start! They climbed up on the roof and took some pictures, and showed me that my roof was not in dire need of replacement. While they were up there they went ahead and replaced a vent pipe sleeve (I think) that had dry rotted. they just did it because it needed to be done. They didn't ask me, they didn't charge me, they just did it. Who does that? These guys. So, Titus said I didn't really need a new roof right away but he would sent me over an estimate anyway. He also made the suggestion of new fascia boards and eaves since mine were visibly starting to rot. And new gutters, since mine were not really functioning properly anymore. I asked him to make all that work a separate estimate. None of the other roofers made this suggestion. None of the others told me I didn't necessarily need a new roof. And none of the other roofers took pictures to show me! Again, the Detwiler crew are exceptional. Not even two hours later I received an estimate from Titus via email. Titus's estimate was very reasonable, AND they had a coupon here on Angie's List which made it even better! The total estimate for all the work was under my budget, which was hard to believe, but true! The Detwiler crew were able to start almost immediately. The crew worked efficiently and worked around the rainy weather. They were very professional and gave the old house the respect and attention it needed. OK, so... I was trying to trap a groundhog that started to make a home on the one side of the house. Instead, I trapped a skunk. The location of the trapped skunk was directly in front of where the crew was going to be working that morning. Before I even had a chance to get a tarp out of my truck, one of the crew members already had the trap completely wrapped up. They took complete control over the skunk situation. I don't think this is something that a roofing crew has to do very often, but they did. And it was awesome. They finished the job while happened to be home. We walked around the house and everything looked great! The house looks fantastic, the gutters are working incredible well, I just can;t say enough good things about this crew. If you need a roofer, just hire these guys. Just do it. Thanks, Detwiler Roofing!!!"

"Dean of Shirk Brothers Roofing was able to quickly identify the source of my roof leak and sent me an estimate the next business day. After one reschedule due to unfavorable weather conditions, Shirk Brothers showed up on time and completed the work swiftly and cost met the estimate. Fair pricing and very professional."

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

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.
