"It went very well...totally satisfied. And very helpful. Checked entire roof...sealed the vents...also 'sealed' a couple of loose shingles (16 years into the life of 30 year roof). Helped me get a gutter downspout cleared. Clogged."

"Scott, the salesman, was very nice when he came out. He explained the cheaper windows to me, but also explained the benefit of triple pane, which I decided to go with in the end. They look much nicer than my old windows, working well beyond my initial expectations on the first heating bill. The trim work was flawless. Danny and the crew were courteous and clean. The office staff was also very helpful. <br /> <br /> They completed my roof a year ago, just finished up with my windows, and just I will be calling them back in the future for new siding and gutters. It's been truly great to work with them."

"Our "only" negative comment about Ground Zero Shelters is that they do not come to a persons residence to give the sales pitch and demonstration. You must go to their showroom or see their product at a home show. This being said, we were extremely happy with the sales experience, reminders and installation of our shelter. They called about 10 days prior to the installation for a reminder, their installers called the day before and the morning of the installation to remind us that they would be at our home at the designated time. They showed up as promised and were completed with the installation in less than 1 1/2 hours time! Thank you Ground Zero!"

"<strong>insurance co. paid for removal & installation of new vanity, contractor bought wrong size cabinet [he had size of original one].I had a sprained ankle & could not go upstairs to see vanity. they did not tell me it was wrong size .  when I found out we could not re-install  toilet paper holder [also covered by insurance] is when I found out it was wrong size. I called sub contractor and told him it had to be removed and same size as original vanity had to be installed. contractor called me and said I picked the vanity & I would have to pay to remove it .  I did not pick or see it before they installed it and was never told it was wrong size and I refused.contractor then said , " this is the size they are putting in  bathrooms today,] I said the insurance paid for replacement of original vanity & that is what I needed. he was very angry. also he was to install new water inlet lines. he did not use a plumber to install the first vanity and sink they brought, he used the drywall person and had him use the original solid copper compression lines from original vanity. they were to short and he could not get the faucet to stop leaking water. he kept tightening the nuts on to my original faucet and finally stripped the faucet  threads. he came downstairs and told me what happened and said the faucet could no longer be used and I would have to buy a new one.  I bought a new one and told rick [contractor] what happed and he refused  to re-pay me for faucet . [$50.00]. then I received a new contract with a higher amount , & he re-worded the vanity  from original remove and replace to remove and reset, and added owner was to purchase vanity,  when I told him I was not responsible for the replacement because the insurance co. had included the cost in the contract, he kept saying  "i did not charge you for a vanity in my new contract  so you are responsible for the cost." I could not get him to admit that he was already paid for the vanity cabinet in the insurance quote. I also called my insurance  and told her what was going on and she said  I was correct . the contractor was to pay for the vanity. then he gave me a separate contract for an additional amount of $2,522.80 and wanted a check from me  to cover the water extraction & remediation . I told him that was also covered in contract by insurance. and had nothing to do with me.  some of the work in bathroom was shoddy and had to be re-done. also in his original contract he put me down as paying for floor tile.  also covered by insurance. </strong>"

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