"Michael's Roofing provided outstanding service from start to finish on our full roof replacement. Mike performed a thorough inspection of our roof and followed up with a very competitive bid which included the use of quality products with excellent warranties. The roofing job was well planned, well managed, and completed in a timely manner. All materials were on site ready to go before the work started. The roofing team did an excellent job performing their tasks very effectively and efficiently as well as meeting all of my requests planned into the job. When the job was finished, all roofing debris was thoroughly cleaned up and hauled away. To summarize, Michael's Roofing performed excellent, quality work. My wife and I highly recommend them for your next roofing job."

"They did a great job. The lead person took lots of time to answer any and all of my questions while going over the estimate and during construction. I was never pressured to make a decision on materials or to hire them for the project. Only took 1-1/2 days for the entire project. They were always courteous and friendly and worked very well together as a team. The finished roof looks really nice. They had huge dropcloths to help catch the old roof material, besides the dumpster, and removed the debris from each area as they finished with it.  The clean up was awesome. Haven't found any stray nails at all. I would definitely recommend them for any roofing needs. <br />"

"Steve and his employees did an excellent job of repairing my roof.   <br /> Before I awarded the job to River City Roofing, Steve explained exactly what he was going to do and when he thought he could do it.  He is professional and courteous and did everything he said he was going to do, plus a few extra things to make sure other areas of the roof were not compromised. <br /> One thing really stood out when dealing with this company.  Steve communicates very well and if he said he was going to call me, he would call me.  Contractors have a reputation of being very difficult to get ahold of and keep you informed.  Steve did a very good job of this and always let me know if there was a problem or an issue.  He started the job exactly as he said he would. <br /> I am very happy with the work he performed and I would encourage anyone who is considering hiring him to do so. <br />"

"From the jump everyone that we were were in contact with at Midwest Roofing and Construction was super helpful and were always very responsive. We are first time homebuyers and were looking to put a roof on the home we were purchasing prior to our closing date, which required very quick turn around time; and had alot of moving parts. <br /> Our home was 2 hours away from their office and they still were more than happy to assist us with our roofing needs. They got us a very reasonable quote. <br /> There was never a time that I wasnt able to get in touch with James directly, he even called the sellers for me at 530pm when he was home sick! WOW! We really appreciated everything that he did for us, and would highly recommend Midwest Roofing and Construction to anyone looking for a roofing contractor. <br /> Thanks Midwest! <br /> <br /> <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 Barstow, IL

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.
