"The rains are coming again and thanks to BSW we won't be worrying about a leaky roof. We wholeheartedly recommend their services and work as a job well done. Our experience began with Evan Juline inspecting and explaining our options; and answering all our "nervous" questions during the installation. I mean how often do you replace your roof! I'm sure we had silly questions but they were all patiently addressed. Jesus Medina and Juan Zavala worked tirelessly on the roof. We thought they'd never take a break! Our yard was cleared of debris at the close of the each day. We were extremely pleased with our completed roof and should you choose BSW you will be too."

"Garry called me and requested to come over to see the scope of the work. He showed up right on time for the appointment and after I showed him the broken pocket door and explaining that I wanted all the hardware to be replaced including the top track. He wanted to make sure about the quality of the top track I like him to buy, so gave him my specification that is to get an aluminium track and 3 wheel rollers, I was tired of spending money to repair every year. He called me the night before to make sure I will be home. He showed up on time to start the work. I told him here you are, I will be in my home office, when done just call me. So, took a little longer that I expected it, because of wall sheathing being plaster board, but when he called me and went to see the completed project, to my surprise, he had completed the job and just about ready to paint the access opening of the wall - which you need to open to replace the track. He charged me exactly what we verbally agreed and I was very happy that after so many years of search and work with so many handyman, I finally found a professional and honest person who respected the verbal contract and did not charge me more for the extra unexpected site issues. Garry has very good communication skills and keeps you updated with the schedules and appointments via cell phone. I will recommend him to anyone for a small or medium projects. All I can say "what a guy.""

"Our experience with American Array Solar has been fantastic. We had actually signed with a different company, but decided to go with American Array. They gave us a better product with a better warranty and at a much better price. However, what I am really impressed with is their customer service. Our original company told us we would have our system installed within six months. American Array did it in two months. We did have an issue with one of our panels. I noticed that it had stopped producing electricity. I called Adam from Solar Array, and he had a technician to our house in three days. The panel could not be repaired, and they replaced it right away. No hassle at all. I made one phone call and it was fixed. I was very impressed. I highly recommend this company."

"This is a newer home, but we were having leaks everywhere. Finding a good roofer is very hard work, but I found a good one in Armstrong Roofing. I liked everything about them! He was very easy to talk to and explained everything for me. They were very professional, clean, and they used very nice materials. Their work just looks amazing. I've been through two winters and there have been no issues. I highly recommend them!"

"The roofing job was good. I have no complaints there. However, I did ask them to inspect the existing roof of my house, as I feared it may have compromising areas that may leak. I'm not sure if they ever inspected it or not, but I am sure it leaked, when the painters came to spray wash (prep) the house before painting. <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 Bakersfield, CA

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.
