"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."

"<br /> Due to the recent hailstorm, I contacted Carlon along with 2 other roofing companies to quote on my roof repair. The estimator was on time for the meeting and that is where things fell apart. The estimator was unwilling to provide an estimate and seemed put off by the fact that I would not simply sign the contract and "let them handle the negotiations with the insurance company". He then went on to inform me that I was going to get "screwed" by my insurance company regardless of what they were willing to pay. Additionally he stated that the only way I was going to get a "quality" roof was to use Carlon and not by getting quotes and repairs from "storm chasers". I mentioned that I had obtained quotes from 2 other long term Louisville based companies and he said they must be using inferior materials. When I kept probing on why he wouldn't write a quote, he told me that he didn't need to as they already had 1,000 jobs booked due to the hailstorm.  I then proceeded to ask him if he would have written a quote if had come a week before the hailstorm and acknowledged that yes they were writing quotes prior to the storm. The ironic thing is that he never even bothered to take a look at the roof. All he was interested in was getting the contract signed. <br /> As you will note from my review, I didn't rate price, quality or responsiveness as it never progressed beyond the sales call. <br /> Bottom line, I can not do business with someone that will not even write a proposal or quote for a job and then expect me to sign off and let them negotiate on my behalf without knowing what they are charging. <br /> <br /> <strong>Updated 1/2/13<br /> </strong>I just wanted to update my initial review of Carlon Roofing. After my review, Jack Carlon contacted me and personally came out and wrote up a detailed estimate of the work to be completed and he took the time to review some upgrades to the existing roof that would be beneficial in the long run. He also assisted with the insurance company review of the required work and caught several items the adjustor had missed. He also appoligized for the negative experience I had with their sales person. All of my dealings with Jack have been very positive and my revised rating reflect his "damage control" efforts after the initial experience. The new roof looks great and everyting has been very positive. I ultimately rated the overall experience as a "B" which was upgraded from the initial "F". If it weren't for his sales person, Carlon Roofing would have recieved an "A". <br />"

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.
