"I've used this company twice now. Once for some gutter repair and once again for roof cap repair/replacement and a skylight replacement. They are very easy to work with and do what they say at a reasonable price."

"So glad I contacted Albana Roofing to install my new roof. Got multiple quotes for this project and their price was the best along with the amount of work being offered. Every step of the way they had covered and they were available for discussion on all aspects of the roof at any time. We also had to change the original date because of the weather and the reschedule was easy. The install itself couldn't have gone better. Sonny and his crew are complete professionals and very good at what they do. They are a family business who care about the job being done right and well. The roof looks great and I couldn't be more pleased with the process. Highly recommend giving them a call if you need any type of roof work done."

"Superb performance, from evaluation to completion. Anthony and his team managed impeccable removal of old roof, replacement of weak and rotting plywood, and installation of new boards and roof. I could not recommend any company more highly. D Jackson Coleman"

"Millstream (and Craig, who came out to help us) were incredible. They were incredibly responsive and incredibly honest. They came to our house on a rushed basis after potential damage to our roof by an antenna installation. After inspecting our roof and making some small adjustments, they confirmed all was OK and didn't charge us! This sort of customer service makes me feel great about Millstream as a company, and I am absolutely confident that we can trust their recommendations and pricing for future work. This sort of service is rare, and I am looking forward to using them in the future."

"We needed a quote for a roof for our insurance. Rich was great, and he noted where we needed a new skylight (which was accurate), which another had not. He provided a detailed quote that broke-out everything (including the skylight)."

"Justin responded promptly to my message and was on-site within 24 hours. He started the repair the following morning and completed it in stages (installation, filing, sanding, finishing ....) over the course of the day. Since it is a popcorn ceiling, he was also realistic about the probable success of painting/blending the repaired area with original paint job. He could have done his best and charged me - possibly still resulting in the whole ceiling being painted (that part of my ceiling runs the full length of the house across 3 living areas). He was honest and didn't want to take the chance. Would definitely use again and would recommend."

"I had two sections of roofing on my house that were leaking. One area had been previously repaired by a supposedly reputable guy 5 years ago. When it began to leak again, he would not return my phone calls! H&J came out immediately after I contacted them to give an estimate and was available immediately to do the repair. And their work is guaranteed. I would hire them again and recommend their service."

"The owner came and discussed price and installation. He explained everything and listened to our concerns. The roofing was installed a few weeks later and finished in 2 days. They cleaned up everyday. They took pictures of the process and sent me the video after. The only issue i have is having a lot of debris fall on the Dacor range vent fan which is vented to the roof. I had to call the repairmen to clean the unit and had to pay about $ 300.00."

FAQs for roofing installation & roof repair projects in Barkhamsted, CT

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.
