"Called the office and spoke with Duane. He was very professional and honest, and informed us that installing an attic fan when we already have a roof ridge vent is not recommended. We actually already had the electricians here to do their part but ended up cancelling the whole project and will instead be cleaning the soffits. Based off of this interaction, if/when we are in need of some roof work, I will definitely be calling this company."

"It was a two day job and we needed several sheets of plywood replaced as well. The crew was at our house by 8 AM the first day and worked into the late afternoon on Day Two. The roof looks great, the crew did a complete post repair cleanup and the price was eminently fair."

"If you are thinking of getting your roof replaced, updated, and/or repaired look no further than Economic Roofing - period, end of story! In terms of level of service here’s what you are going to get: Overall Customer Service A+++ Overall Quality Service A+++ Overall Satisfaction A+++ Pricing A+++ I called Economic Roofing to get a quote and the owner, John stepped in and right from the jump went above and beyond my expectations. From start to finish, he kept me informed about every step of the process and price estimates of material service even though I could tell he was extremely busy. Their team found a whole bunch of rotten plywood so they replaced those as well. He truly cares and takes pride in the quality of his work. The level of service and the integrity which I experience from John was beyond compare to ANY other roofing customer service that I have ever received or experienced. Thank you, Economic Roofing, and thank you John! I will certainly look to Economic Roofing for any future roofing needs and I will be sure to tell all whom I know in need of roof care, look no further than Economic Roofing. In short, EXCELLENCE!!!"

"The job went flawlessly. We had already had M&W replace 2 roofs and do one siding/front door job before calling recently about doing this roof replacement job about 100 miles from their shop. The previous jobs had gone so well, we did not want to take a chance on a new company. We called and they were willing to travel to do the work. M&W installed 17 sheets of plywood, heavy 130-mph resistant shingles and large K-6 gutters on our home. They also found some shoddy repair work which had been done previously over our porch. A leaky roof had been repaired by the addition of a membrane over the existing roof and they found water between the layers. M&W removed all this material down to the studs and replace the plywood over the porch before installing the new roof. The whole job took two days to finish as they worked from 8-am until dark (Approx 8-pm) both days. They put down tarps to catch the debris from the old roof and leave your yard without a trace of their presence. Chad, Mark and Ellie have been very easy to deal with, very punctual, polite and we are so impressed with the work ethic! We would recommend M&W to any family members or friends and feel good about doing it."

"Great! I was really pleased they did not suggest a new roof immediately, but instead fixed the issues and told me I had about five more years til I needed a new roof. Very honest contractors!"

"After the last windstorm we lost a great deal of our roof shingles. I contacted Guardian and Robert came out and inspected the damage. He spent a great amount of time explaining the process and the system they use for roofing. He also offered to assist us and guide us through the ordeal of dealing with insurance companies. Throughout, Robert and Jon in the office were always in contact with us to keep us informed. When the time came for the installation I was really impressed. The crew showed up at 7 AM and went to work stripping the old roof. The whole time there was an individual on the ground constantly cleaning the debris. I pointed out several of our prized landscape items and they were extremely careful not to disturb them. they even pointed out an issue with the construction and came up with a solution to correct it. I was surprised with the speed with which they completed the job. They also cleaned up the area so well that you wouldn't even know that we had a new roof put on. This is a company that I will have no reservation recommending to anyone who asks."

FAQs for roofing installation & roof repair projects in Claymont, DE

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.
