"Very impressed with responsiveness, professionalism, technology, and value provided by Gunner Roofing. The copper flashing was pulling away from around my chimney and looked like it was in need of repair or replacement. I had previously worked with another well reviewed roofing company on Angie's List that missed my scheduled appointment to examine my chimney flashing. So I was very pleased when Andrew from Gunner showed up exactly when promised, and I was quite fascinated with his use of a drone to take precise aerial photographs of the work to be performed from all angles - a rather tech savvy approach. Gunner provided a detailed estimate within hours, that was only 1/3 the cost of the estimate I ultimately received from that other roofer. Gunner Roofing completed the work on time, and did a very satisfactory job. This was a relatively modest project, but based on my experience, I hope to use Gunner Roofing when it comes time to redo my entire roof."

"Gouge Roofing was honest, fair, quick, and professional. They removed the shingles and old vents before putting on the new shingles and a ridge vent. They cleaned up and hauled away all the debris including the hard-to-find nails in the surrounding grass. Then, they finished the project up with seamless gutters. They worked with my schedule, arrived as planned, and completed it all that day. I have no reservations in recommending Gouge Quality Roofing. - Mike"

"Danny's is under new owner since March 2026. Justin provided best of 3 estimates. Two story older home with high peak and old tin under composite roofing. Replaced with architectural asphalt shingles. Team leader Julio and his crew were clearly well-experienced. Arrived on time and worked hard for two days. Cleanup was superb. Highly recommend. "

"Absolutely professional from start to finish. The owner showed up to bid the job on time, and well dressed in a J.Alexander Polo. He was extremely educational w/ what I was gettting into, so their were no suprises if they were to get the job. The price was competitive and felt most comfortable w/ them--do to the time & knowledge he shared w/ me when giving the estimate. They didn't let me down and actually only exceeded my expectations when doing the roof. They had an eight man crew and everyone seemed to know their job responsibility. They had a guy running the ground the whole time-cleaning up and running a magnet for loose nails. They said they had two roofs to do that day. I thought they were crazy, even though I had a small roof (22.5 square). By 11am they had all the shingles removed, nails pounded down and the roof felted. Come to find out the owners are identical twin brothers who were both on the roof working along w/ the crew. The crew split up after the roof was felted, one brother stayed w/ three others to lay the shingles while the other group went to start the next roof. I was just hoping they got my roof done in a day like they said, It wouldn't suprise me one bit if they got both roofs done like they wanted to. I would refer anyone and everyone to JAlexanderRoofing-they were amazing from start to finish. <br />"

"Mr. Brierly personally inspected the project, went over recommendations with me, and performed the work quickly, efficiently, effectively and for a very fair price. The finished product far exceeded my expectations. A follow-up call was received to assure we were satisfied with the work. Great work ethic and professionalism. A model business. Would definitely hire again and recommend to anyone. P.S. They do more than roofing...ask."

"On the day Mr. Edwards was to come and make his inspection, he got lost a few times. We communicated by cell phone to help him find our house. He was pleasant, but tended to downgrade competitors. The photo he took of the damage was very helpful in our understanding of why the roof was leaking. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />My husband, who was at home during the repairs on the 26th, states that Mr. Edwards again arrived late, citing that he had overslept, but got the repairs finished in just a few hours. While we had two other companies come out, Mr. Edwards was available on the shortest notice, which was helpful to us, as we wanted repairs made before another rain was forecast. He followed up the most quickly. <br />"

"It was a rainy Monday, but the company arrived at our home at 8am and waited out the weather.  They walked around the house with my husband and me to note any landscaping that was particularly fragile. (roses, hostas, mums and lilies).  The supplies had already been delivered so the crew got to work.   I didn't know what to expect with noise and mess and although there was plenty of both, the crew was very professional and efficient in their  efforts.    It took about 10 hours from start to finish and with only one rotten board to be replaced.   This was the first roof replacement I have experienced and this company did it right!  The owner was on sight numerous times to ensure everything was going well.  He answered my countless questions and explained what would happen from beginning to end.   I was quite concerned that the crew would never be able to pick up the zillions of roofing pieces, nails, shingles, etc.  However, there was not a scrap of material or nail in sight after they were finished.  They even cleaned out the gutters and the garage!  I would highly recommend Seamless Restoration for a new roof or repair.  They are professional, courteous, efficient and neat.  Extra stars to the employees for stopping to meet our dog who had to inspect everything, snoop in their lunchboxes and insist on being petted. <br />"

"We had just moved to the area and Stan's name had been referred to us from a handyman we use. Our experience with Stan went very well!  He was on time, explained everything thoroughly and didn't try to sell us on a whole new roof like the previous roofer we went with. Our roof is only 8 years old.  We went with him even though his bid was higher since we knew he wouldn't cut corners with the job. He even referred us to another homeowner with a similar house and similar problem. That homeowner was very pleased with Stan's work. Stan likes to talk but that's just his personality. If you want the problem fixed, Stan is the man! <br />"

"Ernie Haas provided a very thorough examination of our roof which enabled us (after much back and forth with our roofer (DCF Contracting)) to ensure that all necessary and required repairs were made to our roof. Mr. Haas stayed in contact with us for more than a month to ensure that any questions or issues we had were addressed."

"Tear of and installation done the first day. Clean up was excellent. Second day was just final touches. Needed to call them back after the job was done (less than a week after completion) They responded quickly, remedied the issue, called me with an explanation and no issues since. I'd highly recommend."

FAQs for roofing installation & roof repair projects in Athens, OH

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.
