"I was super impressed by their professionalism. The initial inspection and proposal were handled with attention and care. Prior to the installation date, the project manager visited my home and gave me a schedule for the work day and explained the process. It took a while to get the crew over - this was not an urgent job - and when they came they handled the roof quickly and skillfully. The gutter crew came a couple of days later. There was a follow-up inspection to make sure the work looked good and to review the site to make sure it was cleaned up from the construction debris. I found the office staff pleasant to deal with. I hope we don't have to have the roof repaired or replaced for another 20 years but I would certainly work with Roof Top again if we did."

"We just had my home's worn out cedar exterior completely renovated (Oct 2023). Went out to bid and Macbeth was the only company that met my requirements and budget. Had all new pre-painted Hardee Plank siding, new windows, doors (both double and single), eaves, seamless gutters with leaf guards. 21 new doors and windows that work flawlessly. Window shutters as well. Job was completed in less than 3 weeks to my 110% satisfaction. These guys are experienced professionals that pay attention to every detail and the customer. They adhered to every detail of the Hardee plank specifications and even installed all my new exterior lights. Ripped off all cedar siding, then encased entire house with plywood, then Hardee moisture wrap and taping, finally the Hardee siding and trim. Thorough cleanup. Very highly recommended. It is very important to go with a company that does it all. The others only did siding or doors and windows but not both, but it's very important that both get done simultaneously to have the perfect outcome. Next job is deck replacement, going with Macbeth again, wont go anywhere else."

"I am very impressed with the professionalism of Valley Roofing and their employees - from Jerry M. who did the estimate, to Jerold I. who did the repairs and Heather in the office. All calls and emails were returned promptly. The work was done safely and with care. The whole project was easy, timely and properly executed. I was in commercial construction for 40 years and have extensive experience with subcontractors and vendors in this industry. Valley Roofing is an exceptional company."

"Joe and his crew did a great job. They were careful not to damage any of the shrubs and did a great job in removing dirt and mildew. He also looked over vents on the roof and found that some of the boots on the vent pipes were getting ready to fail. He is very proactive. We would certainly use his services in the future."

"They did an excellent job. They are very detail oriented and put the customer first. I could not be more pleased with the result. For the few minor issues that did occur, the owner was very responsive and issues were resolved quickly. This showed me that I made the right decision. I wish all home improvement companies were as good as Lonestar."

"Damon is great. He was out on our roof assessing what needed to be done, back to measure 7 skylights, and then back to drop off a sample of the shingles we picked in case the HOA wanted to see it for approval. The team of installers and workmanship was great. Damon was on site all day each day. Things that people care about: they covered the bushes and ground areas with tarps and they cleaned up each day. Price was lower than other companies. Another company wanted to remove our cooper flashing and replace it with aluminum. Roofcrafters saw no reason do that, saving us money and saving our nicer flashing."

FAQs for roofing installation & roof repair projects in Charlottesville, VA

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.
