"This was a large roof replacement. It took 2 days to remove the old roof and gutters, 2 days to install the new roof, and half a day to install the new gutters and downspouts. Overall was pretty happy with this company. We have used them for some small repairs on our old roof, but were tired of the constant repairs so just decided to get a new roof. It was a lot of money, but it was the middle quote (of the 3 we received) and has a good warranty. Guys working were professional, nice and friendly. They cleaned up after themselves everyday and did a larger cleanup once roof was completed. We did find some nails and other debris in the yard/garden area afterward, but none in the driveway which was great. Very easy to work with the office staff and the crew chief at the job site. Overall, I would highly recommend them. "

"Gunner Roofing has an excellent team that completed my house siding project. As certified installers of James Hardie, they were professional from start to finish! Andrew was extremely knowledgeable of the product and created a spectacular design and assisted w/ the financing of my project. He was always available to answer all questions. The Project Manager Anthony communicated daily with project updates and was extremely responsive to questions and addressed all concerns in a timely manner. The workers were exceptional as they always arrived early and worked late to ensure completion of the work. Really appreciated their attention to detail! I highly recommend this company!"

"I had a leak in an area of my roof and knew I needed to find someone to repair it or replace the whole thing, as I had a two layer roof near the end of its life cycle. Craig responded very quickly to my call about a roof repair, visited my home and carefully went through all aspects of the roof, diagnosing issues and discussing options to either repair or replace the roof. A few hours after his visit, he called me with his quote. I hired Craig to do half the roof of my house, because the lower half of my home was in more serious condition and Craig was able to do it only a few days later, during the last days of roofing season for the year. Winter was coming and there were only a handful of good days left to do roof work, between rain and cold restrictions. From my first call to having a new roof done was 5 days and it was greatly appreciated. I was impressed with his responsiveness, and his ability to explain and discuss everything you needed to know. Highly recommended. I also got an estimate from a different company that a friend referred to me, and they were using the same materials and approximately the same ballpark price as Craig. They also explained things very well and in a similar fashion to Craig. Getting a second opinion was helpful in confirming to me that Craig was a good guy to hire and reassured me overall on what was necessary and confirmed what I should do."

"My wife and I just had our basement finished by Russell Renovations. Our decision to go with them was definitely the right one...We couldn't imagine a more hassle-free process, and better finished product. I don't even know where to start. Incredible professionalism, timeliness and fairness were demonstrated by Tim, Seth and Anna from the initial estimate, throughout the construction process, and on to the finishing touches. We added a few things here and there during construction, which they never questioned, and then completed each task without sacrificing a shred of quality on any part of the project. The only thing that caused a slight delay was the carpet we selected being out of stock, and the way Tim interacted with his vendors when any problem came up was truly impressive. He's a strong advocate for his customers, and accepts nothing but the best. For example, the day the carpet arrived, we experienced an electrical issue with our house, and the carpet installer (understandably) refused to finish the project on a generator for fear of damaging his tools. Not only did Tim provide his own personal Generator, he offered to replace the carpet-installer's tools should something happen. After some Tim Russell magic, the install was completed that day. On top of their stellar work-ethic, skill and uncompromising attention to detail, Tim, Seth and Anna are fantastic to interact with on a personal level. We became true friends during the job, sharing lunches, dinners and after work drinks. On a side note, I was a little worried about having work going on in my house for 6 weeks with the percieved noise, mess and general stress of it all. However, they became a welcome fixture in our home during that time...it was almost sad when they were finished and not there on a daily basis! Tim's immensely positive outlook on everything, sense of humor and pride he took in his work were big factors in this. Our friendship continues outside of a work capacity, and we look forward to having him return later this summer to put a front porch and new door in for us. Absolutely blown away...no need to look anywhere else for a contractor."

"Kris and his guys were here last week for a roof repair. They were very professional, knowledgeable, and friendly. The work was completed quickly and efficiently and the outdoor area was left clean and intact. One thing that stood out was they shared the type of workplace camaraderie that creates a happy crew...happy crews can be hard to come by and this can only happen with a good leader. Kris was easy to communicate with throughout the project and was present on the day of the repair. I highly recommend O'Connor Contracting for your next project."

"Mike and his crew did a great job replacing the roof and gutters. I called several businesses to try and schedule a roof replacement before winter; but none had openings until spring except for PPCMD. They were able to complete the roof within a couple weeks of contact and Mike maintained communication throughout the process. I’d Strongly recommend their services for anyone in need to roofing repairs/replacement."

"It was a little difficult to schedule a time for the roof to be done, however they were very responsive to phone calls and once the job was scheduled they were timely, professional and did an excellent job. They even hauled away some debris we had from another project for us. We were very pleased and would definitely use them again."

FAQs for roofing installation & roof repair projects in Amherst, NY

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.
