"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!"

Nichols Roofing Inc., in Goshen, IN, is the area's leading roofing company since 1978 and is second generation owned. When our Dad passed away in 2016, us three brothers took over. Now just because he’s not with us anymore doesn’t mean his quality isn’t. \n\nOne of my favorite stories about my Dad was this one. One time he fell off a second story roof and cut his head pretty bad. When his workers checked to see if he was okay he said “I’m not paying you to stand around, get back to work.” Then he bandaged his head and got right back to work.\n\nWhile I don’t necessarily think that’s the smartest course of action and I certainly hope we don’t fall off the roof, I admire his commitment to his job and his customers. That’s why we always give 100% and always do our best to keep our customers happy. That’s also why we offer a 5-year warranty for any new roofs we install. If it’s our fault, we’ll do our best to make it right. If we’re going to do it, we want to do it right.\n\nWe are based out of Elkhart, IN and do most of our work in Goshen and surrounding areas. We specialize in residential shingle re-roofing, small flat roofs, roof repair, siding, gutter cleaning and much more! We don’t do metal roofing. Our 5-year warranty doesn’t cover repairs that we do sadly.\n\nFor more information, contact Nichols Roofing Inc. 574-875-7100

"Professional job, on time and kept the work site very clean. The installer was very experienced and was able to handle a challenging job of installing 2 new windows in an older home without a problem. Impressed with the service and the communication was outstanding, They aren't happy with the job until you are happy with the job.  Honest and dependable. Would recommend this company for your window and door projects. <br />"

"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!"

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