"I used Atticrawl for one of my historically old buildings, thought raccoons where entering to the attic. the smell of death was horrendous!!!! Luckily into the incredibly thorough cleanout and removal down to the insulation they found it to be squirrels . they sealed all access points and shared photos. Fantastic customer service communications with Ryan Abraham before during and after the job! He even shared photos of the chimney seal so my husband didn't have to go on the roof !!!! FIVE STARS!!!!"

"Gunner Roofing has an excellent team that completed my house siding project. As certified installers of James Hardie, they were professional from start to finish! Andrew was extremely knowledgeable of the product and created a spectacular design and assisted w/ the financing of my project. He was always available to answer all questions. The Project Manager Anthony communicated daily with project updates and was extremely responsive to questions and addressed all concerns in a timely manner. The workers were exceptional as they always arrived early and worked late to ensure completion of the work. Really appreciated their attention to detail! I highly recommend this company!"

"Jim Harrison from H H construction is wonderful to work with. I’ve used him a few times he has put a new roof on my house, has repaired a gigantic hole in my ceiling has painted my bay window for me and also has cleaned my gutters multiple times. He is wonderful to deal with, and he always calls me back right away. You can always count on him to be prompt and always clean up after the job is done. I would definitely recommend him to anybody that wants an honest contractor. I look forward to working with him in the future."

"I called 5 different roofing businesses for a leak around my exhaust vent which caused water to drip into the kitchen.This is the ONLY business that promptly responded to my call.I spoke with AL Jr. & he promised someone would be out by the end of the day.As promised 2 of his work crew came out, assessed the problem,fixed it for now& also checked all my roofing.Hector &John explained what needed to be done.I asked for an estimate & told them I knew they were busy,so it's no rush since the leak is fixed for now.The office called me twice to make sure someone was coming that day& after to see how it went & to confirm the work& future repairs.I will be using them for all my future roof work. They were the only company who responded promptly!THANK YOU SO MUCH AL & your workers! <br />"

"Paul Wright was exceptional! They responded to my inquiry immediately, and had an estimator come to inspect our leak the same week. They identified the issue (leaking vent boots at the penetrations in the roof. They work was quickly scheduled, and on the day of service, they arrived early to perform the work. They were extremely professional, and left the work area as tidy as if it nothing had been done. Even after their repair, Barry, from Paul Wright, visited our house following another period of heavy rain to inspect the attic to ensure the repair was done right. Thanks to Paul Wright Roofing, we can enjoy our summer, without fear of weather causing damage to our wonderful home. I can highly recommend Paul Wright Roofing to any who are in need of conscientious, capable roofing or window needs."

"The contractor did a very nice job of installation and did it quickly. The only issue I had was with some plywood on my shed. I was not home when the shed roof was completed. I had asked the a few small pieces of plywood be replaced prior to shingled the roof. This was not done. I pointed it out to the contractor and he said that the plywood looked good upon removal of the old shingles. Still, no phone call was made to me to explain this. Other than that, they did a fantastic job. <br />"

FAQs for roofing installation & roof repair projects in Effort, PA

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.
