"Ernie Haas provided a very thorough examination of our roof which enabled us (after much back and forth with our roofer (DCF Contracting)) to ensure that all necessary and required repairs were made to our roof. Mr. Haas stayed in contact with us for more than a month to ensure that any questions or issues we had were addressed."

"Briggs gave us a good quote and they came out and did the job quickly and professionally. We did have a problem with their scheduling. They came out a day earlier and we happened to be out of town. They called that morning and we okayed the change but we would have preferred them coming as planned. Also, the next day as they dumped the stacks of shingles on the roof the noise was deafening and the house shook which caused distress to my elderly mother. My husband was there and he went out two times to please ask them to place the stacks of shingles more gently because of how the trailer was rocking and shaking. He spoke with the supervisor and maybe the supervisor didn't communicate well with his crew since they kept dropping the shingles. It took less than two days for them to finish the roof and we were happy with the results. <br /> We needed another roof replaced on a different house this past summer (2012) and we wanted to use Briggs again and called them for a quote. Their price was about 45% higher than the other quotes we received and we went with another company that did a great job. <br />"

"Very good quality.  Only complaint is I would have liked the basement done by August and I made the initial contact in February.  Not sure if that's a typical amount of time to get that done.  Seemed like they were busy.  Overall we are very happy with the end product.  Randy was good about keeping us informed as to what came next and possesses a good personality."

FAQs for roofing installation & roof repair projects in Dubois, ID

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.
