"I recommend Taylor Roofing. Mr. Taylor is your contact person and he knows what he's doing. My understanding is that he's been in business for a very long time, and many of his workers have been with him for years. He was very helpful with picking the right color, and he had other suggestions for things I had not thought of. I asked for and received 3 or 4 estimates back in the early spring, and then another 3 this winter. Of those 6 or 7 quotes, Mr. Taylor impressed me the most, with the added bonus of his price being the most reasonable. Two or three of the quotes were very close to being the same, so my decision came down to who I thought was most likely to do the best job. The work was done quickly and professionally, and my new roof looks great. I had short interactions with a couple of his workers, and they impressed me as knowledgeable and hard working. I am very satisfied with the work that was done and the price I paid."

"The roofing and decking work was great. The cleanup was fine. I requested that they drive their truck onto boards in the lawn to prevent making ruts in the soft lawn, which they did, even though I had to provide several of the boards. The only reason the quality was not an "A" was the vinyl siding that they removed and reattached. The siding job was effective but pretty ugly and not terribly professional. All in all, I would use them again. <br />"

"They were very good. I've got the best price. I like the deal; the siding is good and he gave a lifetime warranty on his personal work thus he will come back and repair anything if you have any problems. He was just personable, on time, he had all the information that I needed with him. It was a pleasant estimate and I felt good after he left."

"It could not have gone better. Even though they got in to my chimney and found some pretty bad damage due to improper chimney cap from when I purchased the home, they were able to make all repairs necessary and install a new chimney cap and re-built my entire chimney box from roof line up and still got finished in a reasonable time. The guys were there early everyday, were friendly, and the hardest workers I have ever seen. Even though they ended up having to work on the weekend to get the chimney work done, they stuck right with it every day and I never once saw them standing around not working. They were constantly cleaning up, keeping the job site as good as possible for me. They smiled and spoke every time they saw me. They watched out for me as I entered and exited my house to keep me protected. They pointed out anything they thought I should be aware of - just great guys! Shane Lewis is excellent to work with. He is prompt and professional and absolutely does what he says he will. He is reasonable to work with and honest about what has to be done. He has done 4 roofs for me now, and I wouldn't even CONSIDER any one else. Any time I have ever had any issue at all, there he was, right on the spot, taking care of it. He and his guys were available, courteous and kind. You get what you pay for. All roofers are NOT the same. These folks are the best in my book. The architectural shingle is gorgeous and worth the extra cost in my opintion."

"David did a great job getting the insurance co to pony up the money to get the job done properly. His crew did a great job and cleaned up well. He paid attention to small details and made us very happy."

"As always, PERFECTION! I have had QE Restoration do work for me in the past. I called for repairs on another property and they remembered me from before. They were out the next day and provided the same excellent customer service and attention. I asked if they could look over a newly purchased property at their earliest convenience. We immediately drove over, Austin looked over the roof and found no issues and did not charge me a dime. Thanks Austin! The work performed on 2nd location: Quality performance as before ( :"

"With the job complete we now have a new roof that shows pride in workmanship; the chimney brick has been cleaned and resealed; and the chimney flashing resealed and repainted. Mike Beck gets an A+++ as the operations manager. His customer service goes above and beyond. He kept us informed of his intentions each day and gave us numerous courtesy calls. Mike and the owner, Mr. Fitzgerald, operate with utmost integrity following through with their word. The cost of the job exactly matched the estimate as Mike said that it would. <br /> The roofing part of the job was completed in 2 1/2 days. The workers were slowed down one of the days because of extreme heat. Mike often checked on his crew. In the meantime, his lead man kept the job progressing nicely. The crew was comprised of “Good ‘Ol Boys” from Alabama. When the job was complete, the area was cleaned up and nicely swept. <br /> When we discovered that the shingles we selected did not have ridge cap shingles comparable to what we currently had (3 layers of asphalt), Mike went to great lengths to find a match in another brand. Ultimately, it didn’t exist, but he came up with a compromise that in the end looked very nice. <br /> We had originally requested ridge vents, but when calculating the amount of air flow needed for the size of our house, Mike determined that we were borderline on having enough ridge line to meet the requirement. So, the existing power vents were instead replaced with new ones. <br /> While wiring the power vents in the attic, Mike lost his footing and stepped through the sheetrock putting a hole in our living room ceiling. He was quite dismayed having never done such a thing before. (This prompted us to improve the walkway in the attic). He immediately called Mr. Fitzgerald and scheduled the ceiling repair for the next workday. <br /> Mr. Fitzgerald and his son not only restored the ceiling to its like original state amazingly matching the popcorn ceiling texture, but they blessed us with additional sheetrock repairs. These guys know what they are doing when it comes to sheetrocking. They do an outstanding job taping and mudding sheetrock. They taped and mudded 5 cracks in our sheetrock and retaped and mudded a previous botched job by a different contractor. They were careful to enclose in plastic the area being repaired and to protect the floor with a covering. They vacuumed and cleaned up the work site afterwards. They did all this work for free as a favor to compensate for the inconvenience. <br /> Mr. Fitzgerald and his son also replaced a piece of metal siding near one of the eaves and they were very precise in refitting the piece. <br /> Mike power washed our chimney and let it dry properly before resealing it with Thomson’s Water Seal. He volunteered to repaint the flashing around the chimney to match the new power vent covers. <br /> We highly recommend Fitzgerald and Beck Roofing and Construction. <br />"

FAQs for roofing installation & roof repair projects in Arab, AL

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.
