"Mel was very pleasant, checked out the roof, took pictures of damage and showed them to me, and then quoted me a price. Just a few days later he came and repaired the roof, and in addition, left the rest of the pack of shingles for me to save in case of future damage. I was very pleased with the job and his professionalism. I felt the price was reasonable."

"He was very responsive to our request for a specific time to meet for the evaluation. He came to do the work promptly. Unfortunately, after his repair, the leak continued. He came back and worked on the vent above the skylight. That repair appears to have solved the problem. <br />"

"Good workmanship. The materials used were of good quality (I cross-checked with local hardware stores). A cursory check of whatever code compliance that I was able to observe were done appropriately. Scott Cross, the Project Manager, was very well knowledgeable and accommodating. Scott made sure that the project was completed per my satisfaction before even asked to be paid. The installation crew was also quite professional and polite. Yes – I would use their service again."

"The vast majority of the work went very well. The crews came out in awful weather to fix a leak in the old roof before they even started the reroof job. The put a temporary roof on the addition during the September monsoon. Once the new roof was on, no leaks, no problems, and it looks good, too! I had one bit of specialty roof, and it took a little too long to get the materials out here, and then to get the job completed. Once it was done, it too, was fine. <br /> <br /> I hope I don't need them again soon - after all, the roof should last 30 years - but I would call them with any new projects. <br />"

"Daniel of Gibson Roofing came over checked it out, gave me a price. Within one week he and his employees came over, on time, worked their 8 hours and completed the roof. They cleaned up the old roofing, etc. I had a few questions before they came over to do the job, and Daniel took his time to answer my questions. Everyone was polite, even from the office. I would use them again. <br />"

"This was an excellent experience.  I called for an estimate on Friday afternoon of Easter weekend and Mr. Wiker was at my house less than two hours later.  He picked up the materials the next morning and finished the job early the next day.  In addition to replacing the missing shakes, Mr. Wiker and his coworker spent a lot of time stapling down loose shakes over the entire roof.  When I mentioned that I was getting wind noise from a roof vent, they worked on it right then and there, even though it wasn't in the original scope of the project. <br /> This is my new go-to company for roof work.  When it comes time to replace my roof, I'm going to get Wiker roofing to do it.  These guys take great pride in their work. <br />"

FAQs for roofing installation & roof repair projects in Eagle-River, AK

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.
