"We recently had our roof replaced, and I want to wholeheartedly recommend Lake Point Roofing as a company you should consider for any future roofing projects. I first met Derek Wojcik, a partner in the company, when I asked him to come to my home to review a leak that I noticed in my second floor bedroom. After inspecting my roof, he told me that he had found the source of the leak and would fix it on the spot. After repairing the leak, I thanked him and asked him what I owed him. His response was "no charge". He's also made a couple of other minor tweaks with my gutters without charge. Derek quoted me a price to replace my roof in November 2016. When I decided to replace the roof this year, he told me that he would maintain the same price quoted last year. His team arrived at my home at approximately 7:30 and went right to work, tearing off the existing shingles and replacing them. They also lined my built-in gutters with modified Bitumen, and installed steel angle iron on all the gutters to prevent overflow. Upon completion, they meticulously cleaned up to the point that you wouldn't know that any work had been done. In all my dealings with Derek he has proven to be meticulous in detail, extremely hard working, does what he says he's going to do, and manages a crew of top notch roofers. I don't think we'll have need of Lake Point Roofing's services to replace a roof again, but I would certainly use them again."

"We had CAPA install a new roof on our home. Every step of the process went exceptionally well and smoothly. Tom responded quickly and in detail to any queries. The installation crew was phenomenal. They worked very hard under extreme heat and humidity, and they finished ahead of schedule. Most amazing, they left the job site spotless and without damaged, including the shrubbery that surrounds our house. We could not have been happier with any aspect of the job."

"W Brothers responded quickly to request for quote for complete tear-off and re-roof. John provided a very competitively priced and complete quotation. Service was scheduled and completed in one day and all communication before, during and after completion was prompt and accurate. Quality was excellent. I would highly recommend W Brothers Roofing.

"Tore off roof, didn't protect tomato garden and tomato cages and tomatoes. Tar marks on siding and tore a screen. Was compensated for screen. Cleanup was not satisfactory and they sent a guy back when done to rectify. All these things I could deal with. <br /> The issue I have is that after tearoff the wood siding that was exposed was obviously rotten. Siding was also bad on dormer valleys. When roof was torn off some of the trim that was bad fell off. Not their fault, it was bad and needed replacement. My issue is that I wasn't notified or told of this. I found out the next big rain when dormers leaked into house. I realize they weren't hired to repair dormers. It's a two story home and something I couldn't initially identify from ground. I would liked to have thought someone would have brought this to my attention. The Dormer valleys are leaking, and today I have a different outfit coming to repair as well as repair siding. Pretty much everywhere siding meets roofline is being repaired. <br /> The house didnt leak before the tearoff, granted the wood was rotten and needed to be replaced.  They never told me anything about this trim that was falling off or that i needed it replaced.  There only concern was shingling the roof. As for them calling themselves Preferred Roofing and Exteriors?  I guess that's misleading because they don't do anything other than roofs.. <br /> Finally the dormers all have metal roofs.  They were in bad shape and the roofer said he didn't repair these. So I hired another crew to come and fix what should have been done in the first place. <br />"

"Luckily our roof wasn't damaged. Norm did find a few loose shingles that were never installed properly. He tightened those up and resealed them. Otherwise our roof was found to be in perfect shape. He took some time to explain how the various parts of the roof move air. Since the job was so minimal he didn't charge me anything."

"After a few heavy rains, I was getting water pouring into my house from the ceiling.  Larry came out and assessed the roof.  He determined their was probably a leak in the valley above the living room.  He removed a significant portion of the shingles, and placed some ice and water shield down before putting on new shingles.  The shingles matched well, and it is barely noticeable.  We have since had several very hard rains, and no leaks.  Larry and his crew were punctual and took care of the repair in just a few hours.  Overall it was a good and painless experience. <br />"

FAQs for roofing installation & roof repair projects in Big Rock, 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.
