"I don’t write recommendations, but I highly recommend John McClung Roofing. Early in my career I was a carpenter, then a renovation contractor, so I’ve put on maybe 5 roofs with my own crew. Although that was a few decades back, I know what good construction work is. I don’t know much about insurance. I contacted JMR when I had wind damage to my roof. They were recommended to me by a friend whose values I respect. Their sales presentation was much better than the second contractor I asked for a bid from – they listened to what I wanted, provided fact based answers, followed through with things like documentation of their insurance coverage and met the schedule they laid out in our initial meeting. Once the work began, the crew was almost entirely Spanish speaking, which caused some confusion at one point. The crew also used no safety equipment, which I didn’t think to ask about in advance. Those were the only 2 quibbles I had with the crew or work. The actual roof work (47 square of composite) was excellent, very professionally done, quickly, cleanly and with consideration for the impact it had on our daily routine. But there was one thing JMR did that was waaaay above and beyond what I expected and what I likely would have gotten from any other contractor. After JMR had been paid in full – which meant there was nothing more they could get from me except for this recommendation – they contacted my insurance claims adjustor and took rigorous exception to the roof area measurements the insurance company had based the amount the insurance company would reimburse me for. JMR’s own estimate and on the job measurements showed the insurance company would short me by almost 10%. They demanded the insurance company gross up the reimbursement amount. And by golly, the insurance company did. Instead of costing me anything at all, JMR’s advocacy put money in my pocket by the time the final insurance payment was deposited in my account. Thank you, JMR!"

"I work in the construction industry and had these guys come put a metal roof on my house. Everything went well, house looks great, and it should last for many years. Thanks for the good work. I have already recommended them a few times. We pulled three bids in originally, all from good local roofers. These guys hit a good balance of quality, and affordability."

"Craig called me quickly after my request for service and was out at my house within 3 hours to address the hole I found in my roof. He repaired the hole then gave a great quote on a new metal roof at my request. Definitely recommend."

"Eric Schott was a pleasure to work with. Reliable, responsive and gave a fair price. Grayson the project manager, while young, assisted his crew with whatever they needed done on the ground. Arturo was the lead roofer and he and all the crew worked tirelessly in the extreme heat. They were impressive to watch. Now we have a beautiful new roof and will be getting our gutters later this week. I trust they will go as smoothly as the roof did. If you are looking for someone that does what they say in this day and age, look no further. Southern Roofing won’t let you down!"

"Not well!!!! Roofers left plywood on Master bedroom patio over the weekend and storm water entered the house and caused over $16,000.00 in damages. In addition, roofers left nails and razor blades on the ground which my children found. I'm in the process of filing a claim with my homeowners insurance!"

FAQs for roofing installation & roof repair projects in Arden, NC

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.
