"Dan, was great. Called for estimate came over shortly. <br>Took 30 minutes, to sign contract and choose color.  <br>We have 11 skylights, and Berg ice/water shield around them and caulked. <br>Berg teamed, kept me informed when roof was to be replaced.  <br>Took 2 days to complete, like Berg told me.  <br>The surrounding house was all cleaned up, excellent.  <br>Would recommend this company to friends and family.  <br> <br>"

"Good workmanship. The materials used were of good quality (I cross-checked with local hardware stores). A cursory check of whatever code compliance that I was able to observe were done appropriately. Scott Cross, the Project Manager, was very well knowledgeable and accommodating. Scott made sure that the project was completed per my satisfaction before even asked to be paid. The installation crew was also quite professional and polite. Yes – I would use their service again."

"It took a short while until we could get the contract specifications onto paper that we all agreed to and understood, but after this minor glitch everything worked out exceptionally well. Chad Hansen and his wife Sandra Smart are honest, hard working people who employ superior craftsmen and finish workers. They did an excellent job down to the very last detail. <br /> Eighteen years ago, I had this same firm replace our roof with excellent results. I knew I could rely on their professionalism and I'm not disappointed. Nonetheless, I went out and secured two other bids from what I understood to be very reliable contractors. The estimators represented their firms in a very knowledgeable way, however, their estimates were 50% to 80% higher! <br /> With first hand knowledge of this quality roofing contractor and an excellent price, the decision to choose General Roofing became a no brainer. <br />"

"In July, 2019, we chose Rainproof Roofing to replace our house’s aging single-ridge roof with Malarkey Legacy Shingles. They sent an experienced efficient two-man team with an elevator bed truck. In ONE day we had a beautiful new “Black Oak” roof that was the envy of our neighborhood. We had neighbors comment on it! Rainproof came in with a great bid and beat out the competition that had also bid for the job. And to our surprise, the heavier quality Legacy shingles dampened outside noise too. Couldn’t be happier, thank you all."

"Daniel of Gibson Roofing came over checked it out, gave me a price. Within one week he and his employees came over, on time, worked their 8 hours and completed the roof. They cleaned up the old roofing, etc. I had a few questions before they came over to do the job, and Daniel took his time to answer my questions. Everyone was polite, even from the office. I would use them again. <br />"

"The yellow page "big ads" could not schedule a time to give an estimate to meet our needs. Luke Short (owner) of Roof Leak Services returned my voice message and came by the next day and provided an estimate for my repair. Luke called the day of the scheduled repair to see if they could come earlier than the appointment. They removed the existing wind damaged shingles. Replaced the missing and damaged shingles with new 50 year Malarkey Legacy shingles. They hard sealed new and loose shingles down with plastic cement. They also refastened the base metal over the garage (not part of original work). They cleaned and removed all debris and hauled away from our residence. They provided a one (1) year warranty on the work they provided. This description was taken from the invoice provided when the job was completed. Luke and his crew were prompt and effecient finishing the job in less than 2 hours. He provided recommendations for our roof. We intend to use RLS for any roofing needs of this type. Very personable. Recommend highly."

FAQs for roofing installation & roof repair projects in Big Lake, AK

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.
