"The main house roof replacement went very well. However, our porch was a major problem. When we sat down to discuss the job, the manager was informed about porch roof pitch, and if we'd need special considerations of possibly using membrane roofing vs shingles, etc. We were told the pitch was sufficient for traditional shingles. The day of the job, when workers had the entire roof removed, the foreman called the manager and said we'd need a membrane roof. The membrane roof was installed, and the porch ceiling leaked worse than it did with the old roof. I was upset because the problem areas were clearly pointed out to the manager during walk through before work began. After 2 rainstorms and many new leaks, the manager visited the worksite and tried to convince us it was faulty siding, and the wind was blowing rain threw a vent at a 90 degree angle, creating water pooling four feet in from the exterior wall. After repeated phone calls to the company, a carpenter who worked for the roofer was dispatched, and he preformed leak tests by using a garden hose to soak the roof area. After no leaking was found, I showed him exactly where I thought the problem was coming from-guess what? He removed the roof shingles beneath the area I had pointed out to the manager before re-roofing work began. The problem was behind a soffit that met at a corner of our roof valley. The carpenter found that the actual wall that met the roof deck was further in than the flashing/shingles were laid. He corrected the wall problem, replaced the fascia board, re-layed the shingle and so far, the leaking has stopped. We were finally able to have the porch ceiling and walls redone. Thankfully, this contractor stood by his work, and eventually solved the problem. I wouldn't hire again mainly because the initial explanation didn't make sense to me. He insisted we had a siding problem, not a roofing problem. As far as I'm concerned, someone who's specialty is roofing, should spot potential problem areas and make a homeowner aware of it, especially when the home owner points it out to you before beginning work. How can you guarantee the new roof if it fails to prevent weather from entering the home because it doesn't correctly work in tandem with the house walls, corners, roof deck or siding?"

"The quote was a fair price compared to the other quotes we received.  The date was set to start the job but was delayed to the following week because of weather.  The roof was completed in 1 day.  I had to call because there was an area where the roof pitch changes that did not look right but Sean had his guys come right out and correct it the day I called. <br /> The roof looks beautiful and we are happy with the work. <br />"

"Mark from Ferschke did a great job. I purchased a $99 Angie's "coupon" for checking the entire roof, etc. Mark spent a lot of time checking the entire roof, the lead flashing around the chimney, etc. He also re-attached the back gutter that was loose / hanging, AND changed an outdoor lightbulb! I plan to have him come back in the spring to replace an area of roof shingles and 'sister' boards to existing rafters for a firmer gutter attachment. Again, Mark was very knowledgeable and explained everything very well."

"After reading the positive reviews of Robinson Roofing, I contacted them and left a phone message. I received a return phone call the next day from Dennis Robinson, Sr and made arrangements for an inspection and estimate the next morning. Dennis, Jr. and his crew arrived on time and carefully inspected the leaking area, the dormer, and the whole roof. They were polite, friendly, and clearly experienced - I felt very confident of their ability. They discovered extensive dry rot in the dormer requiring repairing the dormer, re-shingling the dormer, and doing whatever needed to be done to make the roof watertight (sorry, can't recall the technical terms!). <br /> Dennies, Sr telephoned me with a quote of $1700, and the next day personally delivered a written copy of the quote. We arranged to have the job done the following week. <br /> The crew of 4 men arrived at 8:30 and worked until 3:30, getting the bulk of the job completed. They returned the next morning for a few more hours to finish the job. They cleaned every last bit of debris from my driveway and took care to not disturb plants that I had growing by the house. The dormer looks great and, after several heavy rains, has proven to be watertight. I am very pleased with the workmanship, the professionalism, and friendliness. I highly recommend this company! <br />"

FAQs for roofing installation & roof repair projects in Bristol, RI

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.
