"Oitlast Construction just finished re-roofing our house, garage, and workshop. We found them on Angie's List and they appeared to be the best choice. They were excellent!! They kept us informed as to when they would arrive, and during the job. They were in and out of here in three days, which is amazing. When they finished up, you would never know there was ever such a mess. The yard looked exactly as it did before they came. I would recommend this company to ANYONE!!"

"The owner, Sam was great to work with and very professional. The crew of men that he had working with us were very nice, but the quality of work was not as good as expected. After the work was supposedly complete, I had to go back and ask them to fix several things that looked like they had not been done by a professional. The caulking was sloppy, you could see many imperfections on the brand new walls, the new showerhead leaked and ruined our  new sheetrock (which they sent someone to look at it and he then said I would need to call and get a job order for it-isn't that why I had called in the first place?). We had a clear vinyl sheet placed over the wall where our resident's bump against the wall with walkers and shower chairs. It was installed where the piece had cracked. I had sent pictures to the owner as well and said he would send someone over. They looked at it but never fixed it. The quality of work was much less than I expected. <br />"

"Couldn’t be happier with the deck replacement Didrikson Construction did for us. Jeremy was pleasant to work with, took all our concerns into account. Shaun and Jake are excellent carpenters. Attention to detail is their focus. Final bill was in accordance with the original estimate. Thanks again guys, for the excellent job you did for us."

"We are very pleased with the work that Absalute Vinyl did for us. Miles, the installer, did a great job with his work and cleanup. He was also good at communicating. Once the job was begun, they were here every day and worked straight days to finish the work. It did take a long time from September, when we signed the contract and put money down until April when the job was started and finished. This was due to Absalute's busy Fall schedule, then Minnesota winter, then we were gone for the month of March. We are happy with our new roof and the work of Absalute Vinyl. <br />"

"Lonny at Heartwood was excellent to work with.  He made sure we understood everything that was going on, kept us appraised of issues and made excellent recommendations regarding our house.  Communication was A+++ (which is very important to my husband and I).  I felt that he not only worked with us with our insurance claim, but also fought for us to make sure we got a fair replacement for our damaged property.  He also broke the process down for us-- asking us to select replacements/colors/etc for things as they were needed instead of requiring it all right away; but provided us a full list up front so we could get to things as we were able. <br /> I appreciated Lonny's willingness to work through the scenarios with us; he entertained our ideas and gave us quotes and opinions when we asked for them.  Every time we stopped by the house, all of the workers who were there (whether from Heartwood or a company working with them) were polite, helpful and friendly.  For a bad, stressful situation; it was as good as I could have ever imagined it.  We're back in our house now and happy with all the work done.  I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Heartwood to anyone. <br />"

"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."

"He found a problem with the way my bathroom vent was installed, and he solved that problem before continuing - very much appreciated! The job was done on time, on budget, and professionally handled. It was a mess afterwards, but that is the way it goes with dense-packed insulation. And there were a few nicks on the new sheetrocked walls because of the equipment, but again, not sure that can be avoided. I would hire him again, without reservation. <br />"

FAQs for roofing installation & roof repair projects in Duluth, MN

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.
