"It went very smoothly with Ed Parker’s expertise, extensive knowledge and wonderful communication skills!!!! This experience of dealing with my home insurance and the repairs needed, were all very new to me; I felt very overwhelmed. Mr. Parker was calming, informative, professional and also personable. His crew performed the needed job/tasks very concisely and appears to have abated the roof leak issues. I feel very blessed and grateful for Mr. Parker & his Company (Lexington Home Improvement) that consisted of his leadership and his hardworking staff that got the JOB DONE RIGHT!!!"

"Donnie and his guys came out, brought the piece of flashing with him and replaced. We had a hard time finding someone who could custom bend the flashing to fit onto the roof, but he said could do it and got it done a few days ahead of schedule. These guys are great. If i ever need any roofing done in the future, I will give them a call for sure."

"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!"

"Mahlon and Will have transformed our property. They are seriously answered prayer. In the last couple of years they've added a greenhouse, transformed our sideyard with raised beds, and built a beautiful art barn/three car garage. We've had bad experiences with contractors in the past. They wouldn't show up. They gouged us with hidden expenses. Stolz Co is honest and hardworking. They were here every day. They stayed close to budget, and went above and beyond to meet our expectations. So pleased and so very grateful!! Highly recommend."

FAQs for roofing installation & roof repair projects in Bowling Green, KY

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.
