"I am very happy with my overall experience and metal roof installation from Shield Exteriors. The roofing materials were delivered around 6 am and the installers were on-site and ready to begin install at 8 am. Exactly as I had been told from the sales rep. I had to work that day and by the time I got off my roof was installed. They did a great job cleaning up after as well. The evening after my roof was installed, we experienced a several days of very heavy rain. My new roof has not leaked at all and looks great! Very happy with my investment!"

"We recently had our roof replaced by Bone Dry Roofing. The entire process, working with John Borwoy our sales rep with Bone Dry, homeowners insurance and choosing new roofing shingles was a smooth process. John helped us throughout the entire process and kept us informed with each step. As issues came up, there was great communication with John to solve each situation. The workers who removed the old shingles and installed the new ones were simply the best. The foreman of the crew, Gerardo, was the best. He kept us informed when a problem arose with the decking and let us know how it was being resolved. He did keep in touch with us throughout the whole job. Cleanup was very thorough. We would recommend Bone Dry Roofing to anyone!"

"The estimator for Old Fort was prompt and courteous, and provided a good estimate for just what I wanted.  I decided to go with another contractor that handled both roofing and siding for my project.  I was pleased with the service and price I received from Old Fort and would consider using them in the future. <br />"

"Excellent service putting up new gutters (and downspouts) by Freeman and his colleague. They encountered some challenges with my roof, but found the perfect solution. I really appreciate their professionalism and great work ethic! Thank you to Tim for coming out and providing a quote and to Rick to keeping me up-to-date and the progress."

"Michael was very punctual for our appointment.  He provided me with a prompt summary of what I need to replace a roof on an older home.  During this visit he was also able to accommodate another request I had to inspect another roof for repair (I had not scheduled this earlier but the location was very close).  He was able to provide me with two options regarding the repair after he inspected the roof.  I look forward to working with him in the future. <br />"

"From start to finish Randy (one of the owners) was wonderful.  He took time with me and went over pricing and options before and took time after to answer questions we had.  He always took my calls and made a real effort to work with every request.  The crew  cleaned up messes daily, worked hard and were nice guys.  As far as replacing a roof goes, it was the most pleasant experience I have ever had.  The price was the lowest quote we got and honestly, even if it were not, I would have still chosen Randy and A&B just simply based on the fact that he put no pressure on us at all and just was a real pleasure to work with.  <br /> <br /> A roof isn't the most exciting thing you can spend $7K plus on, but if you want quality, professional, good people to do the work and treat you like a person/friend, not a "customer" or the next job, go with A&B.  I will use them for any and all contracting work in the future. <br /> <br /> The only minor problem was a shingle fell and damaged a small part of our bay window molding, which they have have temporarily fixed and will replace the part for me once it comes in.  The crew was more upset than I was, but there were no issues with them fixing it, never a question that they would not. <br /> <br /> Also - $100 off from Angie's List!  :)  Every dollar counts! <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />****UPDATE - it is now October 5 and my window frame has yet to be repaired!  I've contacted them several times and gotten a laundry list of excuses and this week when they finally came out, they didn't order the right frame to repair.  Happy with the roof, unhappy with the follow up and excuses I've gotten since.  We gave a great review and even gave A&B a referral, I doubt that I'd hire these guys again, for fear of if something major went wrong.  Dropping from an A to a B. <br /> <br />"

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

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.
