"After 50 years, it was time for a tear-off on my flat-roofed office building. I checked their work at each stage of the process and all was done very well. This job was done in 2015 and my roof still looks great"

"We moved into a newer home that was just about 10 years old but had issues with major ice damming and icicles due to heavy snow. This led to water damage inside of the house as the ice was melting and making its way inside our home. I had multiple quotes from several roofing outfits and they just eyeballed the situation and wanted to simply re-do the flashing. Most did the assessment from the street without going on the roof. None offered a guarantee. I came across Swistun on the net and found that they required a fee to assess the issue. I was a bit hesitant but went ahead anyways and i am very glad i did. The owner Casey came out and spent time not only on the roof but also inside of the attic to see what the cause might be. An assessment was made and a very detailed and illustrated solution/proposal was created with several options including ones with guaranteed no-leak options. Construction was done last summer and Casey was there for the majority of the work done. His crews were on time and kept the grounds clean. It was completed within the time frame since weather cooperated with us. He also took care of a gutter leak for free while he had his crew out. Everything looked great in the end as he had to do some construction to widen an exit of my roof valley to provide better drainage. After completion, Casey even stopped by after a heavy rain just to make sure things were draining correctly and made some adjustments to correct a potential issue. Mind you, this was after i paid the bill so it wasn't something i was expecting as a followup. You can tell he has a passion for problem solving. The big test was the following winter. Even after the early winter snowstorm that dropped an incredible amount of snow in a short period of time, the icicles and ice dams never formed. The solution worked brilliantly well! Also on a side note, the process was very easy throughout the entire project as Lori is the main contact person in his office and is very easy to communicate with. Casey is also very responsive. Wish all companies worked in this manner! I wouldn't consider them a bargain comparing to a regular roofer. However, if you want your roof leak situation fixed correctly, this is the way to do it! Swistun is a class act from start to finish!"

"The project consisted of repairing rotten roof decking and soffits, metal roof replacement and custom gutters. A. B. Edward did an excellent job in all aspects. Andy the owner came to do the estimate and I also met him at their Wheeling, IL location. Adam was my main contact for the project and I can only say good things about his responsiveness and patience with my questions and requests. Their tradesmen did an excellent job with the repairs and kept the work area clean. I would recommend using A. B. Edward."

"Perfect.This was the 4th roofing company I contacted. Either I did not get a return call or was told that the job was to small or that they don't do mobile homes. Kerry roofing kept Every appointment on time. I went to their location 1st because I wanted to see the office to be sure I was dealing with a real company and not a fly by night person. They are knowledgeable and were very to the point. They showed me the roofing options and the warranty. Gave me the packet and an estimate for the job to take home and decide if and when I wanted to do the job. I was a bit surprised that I didn't get the high pressure sales pitch I always get, I am a female and I know nothing about roofing. When I discussed the options with my daughter (this is her home the work was needed) we decided and called to schedule. They came to our location looked at the roof, took the deposit and scheduled. They applied for the permits and made all arrangements needed. The crew showed up with the dumpster to remove the debris, they laid tarp to catch any loose debris and protect my landscape and the neighbors. Since the roof had a major leak long term (this was a new trailer we bought and it had a lot of problems we did not see when we bought it-my point is I am a female and know nothing about trailers or roofs. Our first rainy night was a monsoon through the roof ) they inspected the headers and insulation and gave us photos so we knew what needed fixed in the walls that were affected by the long term rot. 1 wall had rot and mold and needed replaced. The roof was completely removed and replaced with new plywood covered with snow shield, the stacks were replaced and the roof was shingled in a few hours. They swept, removed the dumpster and did a walk around with me before the inspector arrived. the inspection was done, all in the same day. This was August of 2017, and the roof is everything we were promised. They applied an Angie's list discount that I did not know existed. Also, I was told by a relative this was going to cost a lot more than what I was quoted. Overall this company is everything a company should be. Honest, reliable, quality work. I would tell everyone to call them 1st."

"Excellent work repairing our roofs. We were especially impressed that, after the first visit, when we discovered that one spot on the roof was still leaking, workers returned, no questions asked, to revisit the work at no extra cost. It now appears to be fixed. Professional, polite, and diligent team."

FAQs for roofing installation & roof repair projects in Chicago, IL

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.
