"We had noticed several leaks. Joe came out, cleaned off our roof, and told us that it was time to replace the roof. I had 2 other companies come out and both their estimates were almost twice what Joe quoted. When the team removed the felt and worn shingles, they discovered 11 pieces of plywood were severely damaged. They also had to support 5 beams. The team was thorough and efficient. They did an absolutely beautiful job and the work was first rate. They finished everything in 1.5 days (working 12 hours the first day) to beat a large rain front. We couldn't be happier and would rehire them and recommend them to anyone! They also took down an old antenna, trimmed a few tree branches, and helped repair some damage caused by a squirrel. The house looks great! <br />"

"I was very pleased with the entire process of having my roof replaced. AJB work worked with us to choose the right shingles, even giving us a list of house to see what the different shingles look like on a roof. Installation went very smoothly, and they did a great job of cleaning up after the installation. They came out promptly after the roof was completed to address a couple minor issues."

"Robert came out on time, provided a fair estimate and offered lots of advice on repair items not all related to the roof. His crew was very professional, did good work and cleaned up the site nicely."

"Why I have selected ON TOPS ROOFING to do the complete replacement of my 7,150 square feet roof: I look around and asked for several estimates from large to small companies, and I have selected ON TOPS ROOFING because: 1) I wanted “designer” shingles which are thicker and more difficult to install than “architectural” shingles, and I wanted the best workmanship warranty. ON TOPS roofing has done a lot of “designer” shingle roofs and is a GAF Master Elite contractor since a long time with a very large volume of installed GAF shingles. And because they are Master Elite, the GAF manufacturer can offer warranty on their workmanship job for 25 years (GOLDEN PLEDGE Warranty). 2) ON TOPS roofing is a “NC GENERAL CONTRACTOR”. This is a guaranty for good business and professionalism. Nevertheless, I received several estimates from other roofers not being “NC GENERAL CONTRACTOR”, 3) ON TOPS ROOFING was very well positioned for Price /work quality: My roof was a complex project with 63 roof facets, 23 valleys and a lot of flashings. ON TOPS Roofing was offering the same work quality (Hand nailing shingles. Open metal valleys….) than the largest more expensive company. Why I recommend ON TOPS ROOFING for professional roofing or re-roofing work: 1) The work went as contracted and scheduled with no surprises or misunderstanding. Brian, the project manager was on site most of the time, and always left messages when he had to leave to take more material or for other reasons, and always answered his phone, even after hours. He was always receptive to my remarks or demands, and everything has been done exactly the way I wanted. 2) At some point one flashing was not looking right for me, the day after they sent their flashing and metal forming expert to redo the job. 3) The team was very organized and professional. Now, after the work done I can really say that ON TOPS ROOFING offers an outstanding PRICE / WORK QUALITY ratio."

"This was our second roof installation by Tom Buzzard in over thirty years. The entire process went smoothly from start to finish: first he met with us to discuss the plans and pricing. Then his crew of four worked tirelessly for three days, and cleaned up nicely when they were done. The end result was perfect, and the cost was reasonable. Tom Buzzard is a thorough, honest, reliable, and knowledgeable roofing contractor. Highly recommend!!"

"Recently, Southern National reached out to me and informed that my roof might need to be replaced. I setup an initial estimate, and was given a well informed breakdown and cost of what needed to be done with my roof. Brandon Blasko walked me through the whole process that Southern National had to offer, he was able to answer any question I had and was able to breakdown what the roof should cost and all the components the roof. After we talked, I was able schedule quickly. The crew arrived on time and was able to finish the roof in one day. The crew even cleaned and scanned the yard for any nails or debris. I love the new roof and I would recommend Southern National to all my friends and family."

FAQs for roofing installation & roof repair projects in Durham, NC

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.
