"They did a great job. The lead person took lots of time to answer any and all of my questions while going over the estimate and during construction. I was never pressured to make a decision on materials or to hire them for the project. Only took 1-1/2 days for the entire project. They were always courteous and friendly and worked very well together as a team. The finished roof looks really nice. They had huge dropcloths to help catch the old roof material, besides the dumpster, and removed the debris from each area as they finished with it.  The clean up was awesome. Haven't found any stray nails at all. I would definitely recommend them for any roofing needs. <br />"

"This is the second time we've used Mainsteam Home Improvement to replace original windows in our house. Several years ago, they replaced half of our windows. This year, when we decided to replace the remaining 5 windows, they were our first call. The windows work effortlessly and look great! They were professionally installed and the staff was great to work with on this project."

"Suburban was very busy, so once the windows came in they had to push back the install date a couple of days.  That was no big deal as I understand how construction works.  One window came in and the manufacture had built in incorrectly, so the installer had to put the old window back in and re-order the window.  All the windows are in, they look and work great!  Suburban stayed in constant contact about the delays and the re-ordering of the wrong sized window.  The installer Mike went above and beyond to make sure the windows were put in correctly and looked good from both the inside and the outside.  I definitely would use Suburban again.  The gutter replacement was fast, and done very well as well.  I could not be happier with these projects.  Thanks Mike, Bob, and Darrin. <br />"

"Our "only" negative comment about Ground Zero Shelters is that they do not come to a persons residence to give the sales pitch and demonstration. You must go to their showroom or see their product at a home show. This being said, we were extremely happy with the sales experience, reminders and installation of our shelter. They called about 10 days prior to the installation for a reminder, their installers called the day before and the morning of the installation to remind us that they would be at our home at the designated time. They showed up as promised and were completed with the installation in less than 1 1/2 hours time! Thank you Ground Zero!"

"<p>Everything was better than I expected. Mark Anderson came out, measured our windows and talked to us about the many options available to us. He was very patient and explained everything perfectly. They kept in touch with us about when they expected the windows to be shipped, arrival date and installation date. They were here on the date and time promised. They crew was very patient and understanding of our needs as I run an in home daycare and wanted everything done at a time that fit in to our routine and would not upset the children in our care. We were very impressed with the crew and their patience and respect of us and our daycare children, they talked to the kids, answered their questions and never came across like they were put out or inconvienced by us or the kids. We are currently working with them to return and replace the remaining windows.</p> <br />"

FAQs for roofing installation & roof repair projects in Albany, IL

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.
