"We were very pleased. They arrived the day after the storm damage to put up the tarp. The work to replace the roof was excellent. They replaced sagging plywood, installed J channel that should have been there, but was not, and did the flashing around the chimney. They covered the landscaping and used magnets to pick up nails. A representative of the company checked the work the day after completion"

"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 chimney flue was repaired and the chimney inspected in July. I had then come back the end of August to replace the cement chimney crown, tuck point the chimney above the roof line and install a flue damper cap."

"EXCELLENT! Best chimney was unbelievably responsive. They came out the same day we asked for an estimate, a Wednesday and were able to complete the 2-day job by the end of the day on Friday. They were careful to show us exactly what our problems were and why their repair would fix it. Not only was the wood rotting around our chimney, but we had water leaking into the basement from the holes in the wood. Everything we were told by Best Chimney matched what our roofer and another handyman told us. The finished job looks great. This is the first time in years our chimney has looked like new."

"From start to finish Roof Advance did an excellent job. The crew was so courteous and very professional. Their clean-up was beyond - wouldn't even know they were there! We had a new roof, gutters and insulation installed. They did an great job and their follow-up was what impressed me the most. I can't say enough about Roof Advance - I would highly highly recommend them!!"

"The installation of the roof went fairly quick and looks good. I have two issues. One (minor) was why some (two) of the gutters weren't secured to the side of the house and the ventilation windows for the attic that were to be installed. The latter is the focus of this review. The issue is that we were told the ventilation windows required custom build and had to be outsource, as our window size was not a standard size. On May 2nd, 2018, I was told that the estimate from Wimsatt, the vendor, would be 12 - 14 days. Roof Rite was paid in full in mid May with the agreed understanding that the vents for the attic would be installed immediately afterwards. It is now December 2018 and there has been no installation of the vents. I have been in touch with the site PM via text messages on a monthly basis, but have not received any indication that this task would be completed. NOTES and CLARIFICATIONS: The site PM said that there would be no cost for the manual labor of the installation, and the vents would be installed as a courtesy provided that I purchase the two vents. This was more of a gentleman's agreement than contractual. This is my error for believing and accepting that offer and is a lesson learned. The site PM said that should I want to install the vents myself, they could be dropped off. Seeing how I neither had the tools or laddering/scaffolding (a reason why I hired the company and requested the professionals complete the work), the offer seemed to imply that I had to wait until the company was good and ready to deal with me. In summary, the company has been paid in full, I have been asking for over 7 months on the installation of the vents and, in my eyes, the project has not been completed. There are ways to continue the working relationship if additional funding is required for work. In my line of work, that is called a 'change request'. To just ignore the issue ruins working relationships and ultimately damages the reputation of the vendor/implementation team. Please correct this."

"The shingles on our house were a disaster. Dan Jr. gave us a very reasonable quote and described all the work that would need to be performed. Most companies were quoting 3 days to complete the job but Dan Jr. promised 1 day. They scheduled me in immediately and had a crew of 10 on site, on time and ready to go. The new roof looks incredible and no debris was left behind. They were all very professional and conscientious. Excellent Job! <br />"

"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."

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.
