"They did the whole roof and installed gutter guards in 2 days. Great job cleaning up. Very professional and quiet other the construction going on. John King roofers were yelling at each other and cussing, which could be heard all through the neighborhood. In other words, they came , they took care of the job, they cleaned up and left. All in 2 days. I have recommended them to several people and would be glad to recommend them to strangers. Greg Tyner was my sales rep. He made good suggestions, but not overbearing. Great customer service. I just can't say enough good things about them. <br />"

"Incredibly well, John is a consummate professional, answered all my questions, and prepared an inspection report that made it easy to ask for repairs. I did not rate his prices because he was recommended by our realtor, and we did not price compare. However, I would argue Jon's professionalism, candor, and experience are worth the price he charges."

"Bash Pepper was super responsive when I called with an ongoing leak that another vendor hadn't even gotten back to me about. They came out, were able to quickly spot the problem from outside before even going up on my two story house to take a look. The fixed the issue and did some other repair work for me while there were there for a very reasonable price. You can't even tell that my roof has been patched from the outside. I would use them again for any work that I needed done."

"Very pleased with all aspects of this project by Swanson's Roofing. From the initial visit for the estimate to the final clean-up. We got 3 estimates for our project, and Swanson's was the highest of the 3, but they impressed us so much with their proposal, that we decide to go with them. We knew ours would be a difficult project, because all of our existing plywood sheathing was substandard, weak, and decaying. We would need all wood sheathing torn off and replaced as well as new roofing. They gave us plenty of notice when they would be coming. We are retired, so we were at home to watch the whole process. They showed up on time at 7 a.m. the day of the project. The crew descended on our roof like a swarm of locusts. We counted 14 workers on the roof at one time, all wearing proper safety gear I might add. We watched them work up close from our 2nd story windows, and we got to see what hard work this was, but how skillfully they did it. We asked them to add a few pieces of missing attic insulation and insulation baffles for us, and they willingly did so with a smile. The entire project was finished by about 2:30 p.m. Amazing. They spent a long time (all 14 of them) going through the yard to clean up debris, nails, etc. The roof looks beautiful, and should last a long time. Certainteed provides a 50 year transferable warranty, and Swanson's backs that up with their own lifetime guarantee on their workmanship. Swanson's is a company that definitely understands the concept of customer service. This is something that you don't see too often today. I would highly recommend them to all."

"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!"

"Kalen is extremely knowledgeable and professional. He looked over my parents roof that had sustained hail and helped my parents through the insurance process to get the coverage they deserved. The installation process was outstanding. In and out in one day with no mess when they were completed. Would definitely recommend this company to anyone with roofing, siding, or guttering needs."

"The installation process was fine. We had trouble with communication between us and the contractor. He was very hard to get a hold of and get a straight answer from as far as when they were going to start and what their plan was (we had weather delays).  Once the roof was finished (April), he ensured us that we would receive our warranty information by mail and that sometimes it takes awhile during the busy season. In mid-June we had not received anything and no word from the contractor so we became concerned. We attempted to contact the contractor for a couple weeks before we got a response - that it was in their system and it takes awhile.  Another month passes by and I am tired of waiting, so I contact the roofing vendor itself where the warranty is coming from - Atlas Roofing Products.  I sent an email to the regional sales manager first thing in the morning and received a phone call within a couple of hours. By the end of the day I had my warranty information in hand.  Overall, we are happy with the installation and product but not happy with the lack of communication.  We would have preferred to be kept in the loop and updated on the warranty of our roof which we had just dropped a large chunk of change on. <br />"

"Mr. Haas identified problems in our roof installation and issued a report. He suggested re-install and steps that we should take to get it done. It was a long process that involved county and DPOR. Mr. Haas was very helpful every step during the entire process. He is highly experienced and very responsive to our calls, text, and email. We eventually got the roof reinstalled in a very good quality. Mr. Haas was onsite multiple times to ensure the right materials and methods were used. It would not be possible without the help from Mr. Haas."

FAQs for roofing installation & roof repair projects in Arcola, 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.
