"My husband and I were in the process of purchasing the home we had been renting for several years, and we suspected the roof would need to be replaced sooner rather than later. This company had a deal listed through Angie's List for a roof inspection and gutter cleaning. Perfect. There are several large trees on the property so the gutters needed attention as well. <br /> An appointment was made and the company sent a nice young guy to inspect our roof, etc. He saw a problem with the chimney flashing so offered to give us an estimate for that repair. We were also told the roof would need replacing within two to three years so we asked for an estimate for the entire job. We received an estimate for the flashing job but never received an estimate for the whole job. <br /> What they considered to be a gutter cleaning was for the guy to stand on the ground with a long handled broom pushing along the gutters and knocking the leaves onto the ground. I was afraid the gutters were going to be torn off the house. Not good. I realize now that if the gutter cleaning was my highest priority, then I should have hired a professional. Considering the actual service rendered, I feel that the "deal" was overpriced. <br /> Our roof was damaged by hail in the summer and the entire roof needed to be replaced. If we had actually received their estimate originally, they would have been our first call. As it was, the job went to a different company. <br />"

"I was referred to Mike with Roof it Right because I mentioned to an acquaintance that I was having issues with my gutters and soffits. Mike called me to ask about the details, then sent someone out that day to give an estimate. It was a reasonable price to repair the fascia and soffits and install a brand new gutter system. It should prevent any further problems and it looks really good... it improves curb appeal and adds value to my house. Also Sergei was very professional and easy to work with. I have no complaints."

"Urgent Care Roofing installed a new metal roof on our home. My wife and I are really happy with the finished product! It looks great and all the members of Scott’s crew were professional and courteous throughout the entire process. They were very responsive any time there were questions or concerns. I was impressed with their professionalism and I have great confidence that if any unforeseen problems happened to occur that Urgent Care would take care of us. The pricing was very competitive with other companies, but the responsiveness, knowledge, and friendliness of this company made them stand out to me. Very pleased!!"

"Company responded to request for bid in a timely manner. Salesman was professional and helpful and the experience was good. Bid was one of three. I choose this company, based on the Angie's list rating, BBB grade and because they were a personal referral. Roofing began within a week of contact signing. All went well until the last day of work when crew had to rush due to falling temperatures and pending ice storm. Completation of flashing and cleanup could not be done until snow and ice melted which was about 3 weeks. During that time I had leaking around skylites, drywall seams seperation and water spots on ceiling as a result of the leaking. Due to the original crew being seperated from the job before cleanup could occur the attempted clean-up by workers who were not familiar with the progress of the job, was unfocused and disappointing. Drop cloths were not used so roofing debris and nails were in gutters, on window ledges on and around landscaping and on driveway. I made numerous request for completion of cleanup and workers were sent out to my house numerous times but without supervision and direction. Landscaping lights were broken. scrubs stepped on and items (my tools) used and/or taken from the outside. Several bags of roofing tiles which I paid for were to be left should I need them in the future were taken by the flashing crew. On a positive side I reported a skylite leak and a worker came out within days and adjusted flashing and the leak has stopped. I think the experience would have been more positive had it not been for the interruption in work due to the ice storm which I understand but cleanup was included in the contract."

FAQs for roofing installation & roof repair projects in Buckner, 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.
