"Smoothest, most professional job ever. We can’t say enough good things about Joe Mareka and Carolina Professional Roofing. Our 20-year-old roof didn’t have any problems but we wanted to replace it before anything went wrong, plus we wanted larger capacity gutters throughout. . We called Joe, who came over that very day and gave us a price. We thought about getting other estimates, but we had used Joe once before for a very minor roof issue 5 years ago and he was fantastic; the price was reasonable, plus we checked Angie’s List reviews and the BBB - all totally positive, so we hired him. Joe told us they could start September 2; on August 30 he called and confirmed, then delivered materials to our property. He and crew arrived early on September 2. He stated maybe 3 hours and made sure everything was going the way it should. The crew of 4 men worked 10 grueling hours, taking reasonable breaks and lunch but otherwise working very hard. They were incredibly neat, covering the plants, sweeping the deck several times, using a magnet device to locate any errant nails. By the time we came home from work on 9/3, the roof was done. You would never know they had been there, everything was left so neat. Due to approaching Hurricane Dorian, gutters were postponed till the following week and were completed on 9/10. Joe did not ask for any deposit up front (which we would have been happy to pay), just told us “You can pay me when the job’s completed.” Which we did. We’re totally impressed with this company."

"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."

"We used Precise Roofing for a shake-shingle roof this Fall. Roberto and his team were extremely professional in handling our roofing project. They were very busy with many jobs during the time they were to do our home’s roof and there were many details that Roberto handled with high attention to detail and no issues at all. Prior to contracting with Precise, Roberto was very willing to meet with me on many occasions to address specifics of the job such as HOA requirements and potential insurance claim adjustments. Roberto and his crew made the whole process very smooth and an overall excellent experience. Quality of work was outstanding and I would definitely recommend Precise Roofing to anyone needing roof replacement of repair, gutters, skylights or even trim repair."

"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."

"Outstanding. Chris Talton came out as scheduled; was prompt; on time; provided a quote and explained every thing in detail as far as options. Left roofing samples and brochures with me. The work was done on time as scheduled at the quoted price. Very professional staff. The owner, president followed up with me with a professional "thank you" letter for your business after the project was complete. I would highly recommend On Tops Roofing to anyone considering purchasing a new roof. In addition to the roof, On Tops Roofing provided quality soffitt, fascia repairs and related painting and caulking; installed a new one car garage door and a single entrance door for the same building. I could not be happier. <br />"

"Julian from Roof Medic came out today and checked out a roof leak that I had. A nicer guy you will never meet. He inspected the roof and found that it was in good shape, except for one shingle that had come loose and caused the leak. He repaired the shingle and did not charge me for the inspection or repair. Roof Medic is a very honest and reputable company. In the future, I will always call roof Medic"

"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."

"As far as I can tell, the roof job was done fine. I went with Allen Deans since the owner, Matt Maresh, was very professional when we met and discussed the options in detail. The main reason I went with them was that, the quote was couple grand less than the 2 other quotes I got. They did take care of all of my asks except for 2 important asks I'd insisted on. The job required and committed to, to cover all areas with tarps. There were no tarps used so it was an ugly mess to be cleaned up. I still find nails and debri in the shrubs 6 month later. As an example of the mess, my car had a flat tire 3 months after the job due to a roof nail on the driveway, probably blown there by the wind. The other commitment was to take photos of key asks that my insurance agent had asked for and this was totally missed even though I'd reminded on the first and 2nd day of job. I still think they did an overall good job with the roof itself so I suggest at least getting a quote from Allen Deans to compare with others."

"I am very happy with the service provided by Authentic Restoration. This was a very great value to me as I am an out of state landlord. I felt like they cared and did everything to help extend the extend the timeline of the roof before needing more extensive repair. Nathan was my contact and serviceman. He provided me with pictures of the work done and went the extra mile and even trimmed tree limbs sitting on the roof. I whole hardheartedly recommend you consider therm for any roofing needs."

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.
