"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 />"

"On time. Owner here all the time, and working alongside. Half day to strip and most of a day to lay down the new roof. Cleaned the debris thoroughly, Protected what needed to be protected. No damage. Put in roof peak vent (which hadn't been installed previously, put drip rail everywhere which hadn't been installed originally. Choice of shingle quality and price with honest information on the differences and no pressure as to price. We bought and quot;Alaskanand quot; grade shingles. <br /> Dan Jones (the owner) was on the job each day and worked alongside the crew. <br /> Tracy Jones is a joy to talk to in the office, and can answer any question pertaining to rooves/roofs. She cannot answer and quot;What is the meaning of Life?and quot; But shingle weights and how many squares she knows. <br /> It has been a year and we are still happy with outcome. <br /> Premier Roofing (the Jones) are highly recommended by us. <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."

"They were doing roof work in our neighborhood. They did a very good job. Their repair was $200 under the estimate. They were really good. The repair work was in a very bad place and they did a great job. I would definitely recommend them. We would definitely use them to do our whole roof when we get to it. They took the time to explain. They had a lot of good information on roofing. They were quick to come back which was unusual for this time of the year."

"Mike and his son, Peter, run an excellent company. They are very honest, reasonable, and punctual, and they do absolutely outstandiing work. Their estimates are very fair and competitive. At the end of the job, they do an excellent clean-up and aside from the <br />new roof, you will never know that they have been there. They are a pleasure to work with, before, during, and after the installation of the new roof, or the same for simple or complicated roof repairs. This company is simply GREAT ! <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.
