"This company is top notch! The owner of the company was quoting a job for our neighbor (we had just moved into our house), and we asked if he would mind giving us a quote on replacing our gutters. Within an hour he presented us a quote right in our ballpark and three days later the work was complete. The installation team was as courteous and professional as the owner. They did a great job setting up, installing and cleaning up. Our house looks great and we couldn't be happier with the work performed. Grade A company to deal with. We highly recommend them!"

"I purchased the service on May 18, 2015 and received an email from company to contact them.  I called and the company was not ready to set the appt and I was told someone would be in contact soon.  About 3 days later, I  was contacted to schedule an appt.  The appt was scheduled for May 28, 2015 at 2:00pm.  I had an appt the same morning and left home at 9:00am.  I forgot something and returned home about 10 minutes later and the company truck was at my home and the employee(s) was on the roof.  I went to my appt and returned home to a door tag.  I called the company and was told I would receive a report by email within a week.  I asked if I would receive pictures of my roof and the work performed, along with an estimate for repair costs.  I was told I would receive it all in the email.  I received the roof inspection report on Monday, June 1, 2015 at 8:51pm.  The email was only a letter explaining the "repairs" performed - no pictures or repair cost estimate.  I replied to the email and asked for the pictures.  The company rep acknowledged the email and stated pictures would be sent.  As of today, June 8, 2015, I have not received the pictures or the estimate.  As a matter of fact, I have not heard from any company representative.  As a result, I cannot confirm if anything was done because I cannot get to the roof to view the repairs nor would I know where to look.  I would never recommend this company, not even to my enemy!"

"I have never had gutters on my home, so when Gutter Guys visited to do an estimate, they needed to look at the entire home, front and back. They gave me several options including only having the front of the home done, or having the entire house done in normal gutters. They also gave me prices for the cadillac of gutters which has the "GutterGard" which leaves no need for cleaning out the gutters. The idea of climbing a ladder a couple times a year was not inviting, and once they shared a payment plan with me, I was sold. They did the estimate and came back on the day they promised and on time. The work was done quickly, but very efficiently. They showed me what they were doing and how the installation would be done. Once finished they cleaned all their mess up and left me with great looking gutters! I would highly recommend the Gutter Guys! <br />"

"It went extremely well, Chris K. after the initial contact, he was proactive in getting me a quote very quickly as in < 3 hrs. Once I have secured my financing with my bank, he immediately order the panels and set up dates for the installed. and the install was done in less than a day all 27 panels on the roof, pretty impressive if you ask me. He quickly got his electrician hook up the the panels and inspection done. Really only thing you had to do was sign a few papers and thats about it. I recommend anyone to go with Eco Solar for their solar needs. As Chris K. will keep you informed every step of the way. never at one point felt left out of the loop like some companies."

"My initial contact with Leelands was 10 years ago. I really admired the work they had done on my neighbors house. I just couldn't afford slate repair or replacement at the time. The employees were always courteous and patient. Fast forward to May 2018, I had exhausted all the patching my roof could take. I contacted Leelands, Donna promptly scheduled Luke to come out for an estimate. Luke was on time and provided honest feedback. I recieved a Photo Report, Field Condition Report and Proposals a few weeks later. It took me a few more months to decide how to proceed. In October, Leelands sent Gabriel and Miguel to make the repairs. They were prompt, courteous and worked diligently to finish the job. After a rainy 2018, my roof is still leak free."

FAQs for roofing installation & roof repair projects in Cambridge, MD

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.
