"I sent Mr. Long a text regarding what I thought was a leak in the roof somewhere in the vicinity of the chimney. He went to my house and based on his assessment, suggested that I have the chimney flashing and some roof shingles replaced.  He gave me an estimate for the work and a five year warranty.  I texted him and told him that I wanted him to do the work.  I happened to be home when Mr. Long came to my house to perform the work.  I invited him inside to show him where the water was coming in.  After seeing the inside, he said that I probably didn't have a roof leak at all since none of the drywall was wet, especially after all the rain we had just had from Tropical Storm Colin, but maybe the chimney cap needed to be replaced.  He said he would get on the roof and take a look.  After coming down, he showed me where it appeared that the chimney cap was not down far enough on the chimney.  He adjusted the chimney cap.  When I asked him how much I owed him, he said to give him whatever I thought was fair.  I took into account the two trips he made to my house and the fact that he did not take advantage of me and do a repair that I did not need.  I also took into account that it was less than a week from the time that I first contacted him to the time that he did the work.  I was so grateful for his willingness to come out to my house, which was a pretty good distance for him, and his integrity for not performing work that I did not need. When I paid him, he actually asked me if I thought I should give him that much.  I told him that I did think it was fair considering the two trips he made and for the value of his time and integrity.  "

"Working with Leeland's was a great experience. I had a significant leak in my slate roof and the service appointment was scheduled very quickly. It was explained to me that the way they perform the repair and maintenance jobs was to have me pre-authorize $800 worth of work (time and materials) and if it went over that they would write up a separate estimate. If it was less they would only charge me for the actual work performed. The roofer showed up on time and was very professional. He was onsite for maybe 4 to 5 hours. The leak was fixed that day and 15 other slates that were missing or damaged were also repaired. He took photos of everything that was done - before and after and they were emailed to me in a PDF file later that week. Also included in the email was three estimates for other areas on the roof that need attention. I am planning on having them out to perform general maintenance on the roof every year. Total cost of all repairs was $400. <br />"

"There truly aren't enough "Stars" to give Keystone Custom Decks. We just finished Phase 2 of our backyard deck/patio project and we couldn't be happier. From the beginning we experienced HIGH service levels and quality work. Chase and AJ were awesome during the excavation. Ray, Caleb and Corey did an outstanding with the Masonry work, Jason and Logan were great with the roof structure while Shaun, Preston & Kayden did an incredible job grading and seeding the landscape once the job neared completion. A special thanks to Jason for doing a thorough and careful job installing the gas line David for leading an electrical team that was fast and efficient. Daniel was the quintessential Project Manager. He was approachable, consistent, reliable and action oriented. Ray was also extremely personable and demonstrated a lot of leadership qualities. Big Thank You to Ron, Elvin and Sarah for putting together and sending over an incredible team1 With traditional Customer Service and Craftmanship Keystone Custom Decks will LITERALLY make your dream(s) become reality."

"Brian arrived promptly as scheduled and asked to see areas of concern visible in the house. After checking out water damage visible inside, he headed out to the roof where he fixed and caulked popped nails and open spots on chimney flashing and ridge vents. He returned with photos of problem areas on his tablet, and used those to explain trouble spots. He then was able to go through an itemized proposal that gave me reasonable options. Consequently, we agreed that we would contract to replace a missing chimney hat ($620 estimate) but hold off on replacing chimney flashing or ridge vents as current problems could've been due to an unusually tough winter and may have been resolved by the caulking. <br /> I was very impressed that Brian went above and beyond to clean out our gutters. I didn't request or expect this, and was very grateful as the gutters are extremely difficult to reach on our high, steep roof. <br /> Overall, I have great respect for CMV Contracting and will definitely call on them for all future roofing needs. <br />"

"The first time we had Semco do work for us was in the early 1990's.  They did about 1/2 of the windows <br /> in our home.   Within a couple of years, we called them back for the rest of the house.   About 3 years later <br /> we changed our regular kitchen window to a box bay window which is just beautiful.   Soon after we had <br /> them come out and put in a new front door for us. <br /> We were so thrilled that when my Dad's home needed windows, I had Semco come and do his entire home. <br /> My friend who lives 90 miles away heard about how much I liked them that she (90 miles away)  called them <br /> and they did windows for her home also. <br />"

"Mr. Russo responded promptly to my call and came over immediately to give me an estimate.  His estimate was competitive with other estimates I received.  I decided to go with Mr. Russo because of his professionalism and apparent expertise in roofing.  I was not disappointed.  He finished the job within the time frame promised and kept the cost to his estimate.  He assured me that his work is guaranteed and the problem leak is fixed.  I will definitely use him for future roofing jobs.     <br />"

"In March of 2015 R A Haitz tore out a chimney for us and installed soffit vents.  We used them again because of the great work they did previously for us when they replaced windows and our roof. They were the best price and did a great job!  On the roofing job, they actually stayed late the day they started just so they could complete it in a single day.  I was beyond happy."

FAQs for roofing installation & roof repair projects in Dresden, NY

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.
