"Sebastian was both very professional and knowledgeable. His was great to deal with, and did the job perfectly. I would recommend him to a family member or friend that needed work done on their roofs. Also, I would contact him again if I needed any more work on my house or porch roof."

"Lukas and his team were excellent. We received several quotes - Lukas was competitive and the most straightforward. Rather than trying to sell us on the "features" of various components, he honestly assessed our house as a pretty standard roofing job. The job was completed over a day and a half within a week of signing the contract - one day for the carpentry work and half a day for the roof. Lukas was extremely responsive to one small change we asked for on the carpentry work. We emailed him at night and the change was already done by 8:30 the next morning. Highly recommended."

"We had a flat roof on one room of our house (my wife's office) that leaked due to last year's crazy winter weather. This was the second time we had a leak after we got the roof fixed back in 2008... or so we thought. No way were we going back to those guys... who swore after the first time it leaked and they fixed it, it would never happen again. <br /> My wife and I  searched Angie's List and found a few contractors. The Roofing Doctor was the ONLY one who came out when they said they would. Sergei was great. He presented us with a list of everything that needed to be done. His list matched up with the list we had from our house inspector who came out prior to us calling contractors. Sergei gave us an estimate good for 30 days. We spent (or wasted) that time trying to get other contractors to come out. No such luck. One guy did come out... then blew us off. Day 29 we went to their office in Swansea, MA. Sergei and Igor took us through all the steps of what was to be done. <br /> When the time came for them to work on the house... WOW. They were there at 7am and worked til about 6pm every day. At the end of each day they cleaned up everything. Very neat. <br /> Basically, they built us a new roof from scratch. They put a 1/4" pitch to the roof so rain would roll off the roof, instead of forming a pond. They also repointed our chimney. It was a crumbling mess, now it looks brand new. All this work took about 4 days. <br /> As for the ceiling repair, Paul came and replastered and repainted the whole thing by himself. This took about two days. <br /> We are very, very happy with Sergei and his team! Cannot recommend them enough! Thank you!!! <br /> <br />"

"I was told they would be here at 7.00am and they arrived earlier. Roof, garage and 2 skylights replaced. The roof was finished in 1 day. They did a excellent job. The clean up crew did a great job. everything was picked up in our yard. Dennis was great he checked the work before starting the roof, and also at the end of the day checked again to make sure everything was right."

"Tony showed up on time and replaced leaking flashing on two vent pipes on my roof. Quality of work was excellent and he provided pictures of repair in process and looked for any other issues while on my roof. Communication with Tony from Skyway was a refreshing change, he is very prompt to get back to you in a timely manner. I will be calling him again in the future for sure."

"Very impressed with responsiveness, professionalism, technology, and value provided by Gunner Roofing. The copper flashing was pulling away from around my chimney and looked like it was in need of repair or replacement. I had previously worked with another well reviewed roofing company on Angie's List that missed my scheduled appointment to examine my chimney flashing. So I was very pleased when Andrew from Gunner showed up exactly when promised, and I was quite fascinated with his use of a drone to take precise aerial photographs of the work to be performed from all angles - a rather tech savvy approach. Gunner provided a detailed estimate within hours, that was only 1/3 the cost of the estimate I ultimately received from that other roofer. Gunner Roofing completed the work on time, and did a very satisfactory job. This was a relatively modest project, but based on my experience, I hope to use Gunner Roofing when it comes time to redo my entire roof."

FAQs for roofing installation & roof repair projects in Cranston, RI

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.
