"Bone Dry Roofing just finished our new roof and it has been one of the best decisions I made. Not just getting the new roof but having Bone Dry Roofing install it for us. My first experience with them was when their manager Curtis came to our house and inspected the roof for hours, not knowing if we will give them the contract or not. This just shows they really care about the customer needs and painstakingly try to identify any issues. Their crew was also very polite and cordial and worked non-stop. At every step of the roofing process, they shared pictures to show the updates. At the end of the job, the local head Ron, himself, came to inspect the roof. And this again shows that the whole company seems to be behind their work. They were also kind to provide the best warranty for the work. I am actually having them now do our gutters covers. If you are looking for a trustworthy, dedicated, and customer-minded company then Bone Dry Roofing is my recommendation."

"My home is one of the very old homes in St. Louis. When I had our roof redone there were 'surprises' that took extra effort and extra cost to correct. Chris was the fellow who walked us through all of it and I watched how carefully he proceeded. How calm and understanding he was and, due to impending rain, I saw that he personally (with one or two others) hustled in on a Saturday or Sunday morning to cover some exposed areas. Always attentive. Because of this I rehired for rental and again his folks worked above and beyond. I placed 4 rather than 5 for quality and for me that only is there to account for the fact that all was not perfect. What roof job would be? I suppose for brand new homes maybe. There was a 'quality' problem with rental that I brought up to Chris. He reviewed. Agreed. We both understood what had happened and why. (I must write here that this was my error, I did not get some tuck-pointing done that he had said should be taken care of before roofing). He corrected, at no cost, and again did so on a weekend. So that he could complete my job to satisfaction and remain on schedule with newer jobs. I will hire again. He's a good guy."

"STL Residential Roofing was on job at 8:00 am. They had tarps around the entire circumference of our home. The supervisor introduced himself in case I had questions. They completed by late afternoon. That evening you couldn’t tell they had been there. The cleanup was thorough. Outstanding"

"We were very pleased with Matterhorn’s workmanship. From first contact, Chad was very prompt with regard to returning emails, calls, and texts. We were pleasantly surprised when he actually brought shingle samples to the house for us to review. Very convenient. His crew was very courteous and had the old roof off and new roof on in one day. They even installed gutter guards, that we had bought, on a tall section of the house for us. Side note: It was getting dark as the crew was wrapping up the job. We saw lights in our backyard and were curious. Upon investigation, the roofing crew was using flashlights to look for nails in the yard and around the house. Great attention to detail! Going forward, I would not hesitate to use or recommend Matterhorn to friends or family."

"<p>Allen Roofing did an excellent job in all aspects of the process.  My roof appeared to be damaged and  the front porch roof was slightly sagging.  I called my insurance co to  send out an adjuster.  The insurance co adjuster informed me it was from typical wear and I would be responsible for covering 100 percent of the  cost.  I spoke to a friend and  he could determine there was wind damage by looking at the raised shingles on the roof.  He advised me to call a roofing company for a second opinion.  I hired  Allen Roofing over 30 years ago to replace a roof on a prior home  and they did an excellent job.  I wasn't sure if they had the same quality and service today but it was better to call someone I had a positive experience in the past than take a chance on calling a random company.  Brad Ritter from Allen Roofing scheduled an appointment with my insurance adjuster to look at the roof.  Brad was very professional and to the point.  Brad pointed out the  hail/wind damage to  the insurance adjuster.  The insurance company agree to cover 100 of the roof replacement except for my deductible.  The crew was at my home as promised.  The crew worked diligently and kept the yard cleaned of any debris.  The J Channel around my bay window was not aligned evenly.  Brad sent someone out to fix it immediately. </p> <p>I was so pleased with the work on the roof I asked Brad to take a look at my gutters.  The water was pouring  over the ends of the gutters in heavy rains in one corner of the home.  Brad helped reconfigure my guttering on my home and add a gutter across the back of the home.  I am so pleased with how the gutters are now able to handle the heavy rainfalls we are having this spring.  Brad, Allen Roofing and their crew is a true blessing and you will not be disappointed.   That is what sets this company apart from others.     I wish other facets of the construction industry were as easy to deal with as Allen Roofing.   </p>   This company provides quality service to all homeowners regardless if you live in a simple modest home or a million dollar home.  <br /> <br />  <br /> <br />. <br />"

"Working with Andrew and his team at Rise was an exceptionally great experience. My family and I were under contract for a new home that was in dire need of a new roof. Andrew immediately met with an insurance adjuster and negotiated a full roof replacement, literally saving the deal from falling through. The roof was replaced the following week and it looks incredible. Andrew was polite, insightful, and communicable from start to completion. Best contracting experience I’ve ever had."

"Drew Krueger came out because we were out of town during a storm in our area and we didn't know if our roof was hit or not. His time on our roof cost us nothing, he is very good at dealing with insurance companies, fully explained our roofs condition, and what the insurance company would do. We do not need a new roof, so he did not try to sell us one. I know Drew personally and I know his company will give you the highest quality materials and install, no matter what the insurance company is willing to do. Crown really goes to battle for you!!"

"I called and they found time to come the next day. Kirk showed up when he said he would. (I can't tell you how many times a contractor has shown up late or not at all). Kirk examined the roof saw hail damage, contacted the insurance agency, followed up after the adjuster didn’t call back in a week, and met the adjuster in person to show him the affected areas. This is the service your typical roofing contractor doesn’t do. That is why if it is time for a new roof I recommend you call them."

FAQs for roofing installation & roof repair projects in Columbia, 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.
