"LA Roofing did roof replacement and repair in my upstairs master bedroom closet. They came did my quote, started the work and very professional from start to finished work. I was very happy with there work, cleanness and on time. My next door was shocked at the quality work that he even got his roof replacement done. I would tell anyone, that I talk to to use them not questions or second thinking at all."

"During a recent Hail Storm, our roof was damaged. I had inadvertently bumped into MD's project manager and asked for a roof inspection. Sure enough, our roof had incurred major damage. Rich Gentile our Project Manager, explained how to proceed with our claim. His patience and know-how from start to finish were exemplary. Installation to clean-up went off without a hitch. There's a reason MD Roofing is Five Stars. Honesty and Integrity still go a long way in this world. If you need a new roof, don't hesitate to call MD Roofing, you will not regret it."

"I couldnt have been more pleased with the professional customer service and the quality workmanship of my roofing repairs. They even returned to make additional improvements after the job was complete! My only complaint would be that I didnt feel like I received prompt responses to my texts or calls, but that is probably just due to how in demand Atlantic Coast is. & I understand that he has hired someone to handle that now."

"No more leaks. Did the job by taking off roofing and paper, and replacing plywood underneath as well as new paper and roofing. Would have been nice to have a better color match, but not a huge issue. Good work and prompt, but for 4 hours work it seemed very expensive."

"It went great! Jerry diagnosed the problem right away. When the roof was reshingled 10 years ago, there was a portion of the roof where the roofers used too much pressure with the nail gun. This portion started to leak. Jerry recommended we just replace this one portion and his roofers could blend it all together. They came and did the work and now it's fixed! In fact, they showed me the rusty nails they pulled from this portion of the roof. The original company I used is no longer in business. I am so glad that Jerry could repair this without me having to replace the whole roof!"

"Mr. Owens was only one of two roofing companies that indicated an interest and ability to repair our fiberglass roof. He came out himself and did an extremely thorough inspection, followed by a timely and very reasonable estimate. His estimate was literally 50% of what another company had quoted me, which was a gross inflation. Mr. Owens and his crew were clearly concerned about doing an excellent job and with my and my wife's satisfaction. He took his time and didn't rush things, despite many days of bad weather that delayed the job. He was sincere, honest, direct, respectful and the final product was outstanding. I can truly recommend JD Owens without reservation. <br />"

FAQs for roofing installation & roof repair projects in Charleston, SC

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.
