"Everything with american standard roofing went great. Their pricing was right in line (or less) than the other 3 quotes I received. The guy giving the estimate did not have a hard sales pitch or some stupid slide show on a tablet. They simply quoted the job and let me make a decision with out any pressure. When it came to install day they came with a massive crew and had all of the work completed within the same day. I had a lot of decking boards that were rotted and needed to be replaced as well. The new roof looks great and it does not leak."

"Brandon worked with me over a period of months. I’m a very picky, very careful customer. I spoke with multiple roofing companies to receive estimates. Brandon was the only one that made me feel like he cared about me as a potential customer. He was thoughtful, patient and informative. When I decided to wait because of financial concerns, he honored his quote and provided top notch service several months later when we finally made the decision to pull the trigger on the project. He understood how hard it was to spend this kind of money on something and NEVER pressured me to decide before I was ready. I have worked in the sales industry for a number of years and have personally trained hundreds of people in consultative sales techniques. Brandon was a textbook example of confidence in his product, which made me comfortable enough to come back to him later. I could not say the same about the competition. Not by a long shot. In terms of price, Home Exteriors was about in the middle range versus the competition. Again, the decision for me went back to the level of customer service and care demonstrated by Brandon. He was also very understanding about my concerns about my dogs and potential to find stray nails, etc. He even reminded me after the clean up (which was excellent) that we may want to go outside and double check for nails to protect the dogs. I expressed concerns about Covid and having a no-contact experience and, again, Brandon listened and understood and provided the experience I needed. I would highly recommend this company to anyone needing work on their home. The peace of mind I felt in working with Brandon was worth every penny!"

"The person who made the appointment was super helpful and friendly (wish I remembered her name). She was able to provide me with estimates/costs for services. A couple days before the appointment, I received a email with an exact arrival time, AND a photo w/bio on the repair person that would be coming out. Not a four hour window appointment time, but a set time! The photo and bio was a very amazing touch! This is a excellenct safety feature, and it's nice to know how experienced the person is that's doing the repair. The morning of the appointment, the service person called to say they were running 15 minutes, appologized, and made sure it was ok. They then arrived exactly when they said they would. In all my expieriences with repair people (and it's been a lot lately) I've never had a set appointment or had them arrive exactly when they said they would. Even if they had ran late, I would have understood, because as homeowners, we all know that sometimes what we think will take 15 minutes to fix can sometimes turn into a hour long project! They wore covers on their shoes, were very professional, and explained everything. they took video and photos, and then explained what they saw. We didn't need any repairs, except for the outside cap to be replaced (which we already knew). we had been concerned about rust & water leaks, but they explained what it was from, and eased our concerns. Here is where I'm sure they could have told us these were things that needed repairs, in order to make more money, but they didn't. Which shows they are a very honest company! They sent a follow up email with the detailed receipt, and a copy of the photos. Before scheduling the appointment, I had priced around for the inspection and cap replacement. Doctor Flue was about $20 more, but with the service we received, it was well worth it! We actually had an appointment scheduled with another company, but then I looked up reviews on line. I found a couple nagative reviews (there's always those few people that no matter what, you can never make happy), but it was how that company responded to the reviews that concerned me. Mean responses! Made me worry, what if we have a real issue, will they just respond mean to my complaint. I decided to sign up on Angie's list, and found Doctor flue. They had way more years experience, a lot more reviews, and for the couple negative reviews (there's always those few-can't make everyone happy) Doctor Flues response to those reviews was very nice and professional! "I'm sorry that XYZ happened, please give us a call to resolve", compared to the other company that was like "well fine, we don't need your business anyway". It also took me two and half days to be able to get ahold of that company, in order to just cancel the appointment with them!! That said company (not going to name) is on Angie's list, so make sure to read all reviews before you hire anyone. We have a gas fireplace that needs repair/inspection, and we will be having Doctor Flue back out to complete these services. We would have had them done at time of other repairs, but we had been using it, so it was hot."

"Roof Advance was very prompt in coming out which was important since rain/snow was in the weather forecast The person who did the repair was kind enough to take some photos of the lost shingle area with my camera so I could submit a claim to the shingle manufacturer. The claim was successful and covered the full cost of the repair work."

"D. Kassem here. I chose Napier Home Improvement because I noticed their signs on many homes in my neighborhood. Seeing many houses in my area utilizing Napier gave merit to their high quality & work and business standards. I am very happy that I chose to use Napier Home Improvement for my new roof project. I called Monday for an estimation; they came out Thursday for the estimation and the next day they completed my beautiful roof. I love my new roof. Mr. Napier, Brett and the whole crew were awesome, very professional, honest, careful during the project and thoughtful of my plants and neighbors. They cleaned up after the job. The price was very fair and competitive. I actually put full trust in them recommending the shingle roofing color to match my environment and I am truly happy with the result. I highly recommend Napier for any home improvement projects. I will always use them for my roofing, gutter and insulation needs."

"Outstanding! There are a few good pole barn builders in the market but, virtually none of them are interested in pole barn repairs, especially in the case of small jobs. John McCarter Construction, though, sent two knowledgeable and personal young men to do the job which made good business sense because I've already recommended them to others in the South Lyon area. Small jobs now = larger jobs later. Also, Amber is really great to work with."

"I highly recommend Roof-Rite based on my experience with them recently. I called and left a message to ask if they repaired skylights. I got a very quick call back and talked with a very nice lady who said they did and someone would contact me shortly. She said that it might be a few days, which was fine, but I appreciated the honesty. As she said, I was contacted by Mark who arranged to come by and take a look. He arrived on time and fixed the leak right then, after telling me the cost, which was very reasonable. He said it would be good to recaulk all of the skylights and he inspected other things on the roof, caulking where needed. I waited to do this review until after a storm and I am so pleased. I am leak-free for the first time in many many years (other companies came out and said they fixed them, but they did not). Thanks Roof-Rite, I will be calling you for my roof replacement in the future."

FAQs for roofing installation & roof repair projects in Dexter, MI

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.
