"Reliable Roofing Summary: With clear conscience, I can give my highest recommendation to Reliable Roofing. I searched for more than a year, interviewing at least 6 roofers, before I found one that was honest, and presented a technically accurate view of the job. That was Reliable Roofing. As a bonus, their quote was entirely reasonable for a quality installation with quality materials. First, their communications are terrific. Reliable employs a pivot person in the office who is easily reachable by phone, returns calls promptly, and can handle most anything related to scheduling and billing. With most companies, you have to leave a voice mail on the cell phone of an overworked supervisor, running around the field, who never answers your call promptly. Not at Reliable. This communications emphasis runs through the whole operation down to the working roofers. They engaged with me fully, explaining everything they were doing, and offerd suggestions and options for, me to decide, that involved both the function and appearance of the roof and gutters. No job the size of a roof ever goes off without a hitch. The question is: what is your company prepared to do about it if there is an error. The President of the company, Abraham Gordillo, was no stranger to the worksite, and appeared regularly to inspect. They work to catch and correct any mistake on the spot, and any concern I had was rapidly and professionally taken care of. Just after the roof was complete, we had 7 inches of rainfall in two days, and I inspected every inch of the inside of the roof for leaks. I found three small drips, close to each other at the base of the chimney. The roofer who I had watched spend half a day obsessively flashing around the chimney, came out the next morning, and found that the leaks came from the top of the chimney itself and were not the fault of the roofing installation. Nevertheless, he then spent the rest of the morning fixing a problem that wasn’t Reliable’s responsibility so that, in the end, I had a completely dry attic. Which, of course, they knew was the ending I needed, and saved me hiring a chimney man. Part way through the job, I decided to change out the gutters and downspouts to larger sizes. I asked the lead roofer about it, and he got right on the phone with their gutter lead, described my job, and got a terrific quote on the spot. When the gutter men completed their job, they were short one small elbow and said they would send someone out the next day with it to finish up. The next day, the lead gutter man came by with the part, surveyed the whole job, and decided that two of the downspouts would have been more attractive in a different orientation. So, although they were completely functional, he took them down (2 stories), and rebuilt them in a more attractive way. You really do want an OCD (his words) gutter man on your job, who isn’t afraid of work. The last thing I’ll mention is overall quality of materials. I know a good deal about roofing. I had measured the thickness of the metal used by the other contractors and caught them in lies. Reliable Roofing doesn’t even have coils in the lighter 29 ga. (does meet code), but starts at 26 ga., which I wanted. The same was true of the underlayment used between the new tar paper and the steel. Top quality, tough material. Here’s what you want to know: I would hire them again in a minute! And they also do general construction work , in fact, so I may have the need to. And I’ll sleep well at night doing it, because the roof is just as quiet as an asphalt shingle roof. -Neil Brunton Satisfied Customer"

"Robert Helms owner of R&R responded promptly to phonecall & was able to arrange a date within 1 week to meet with me to discuss roof tile concerns & provide thorough inspection. Robert is consummate professional - paying close attention to details, concerns & hands on examination of roof. I was impressed w/ his questions re. History of roof repairs & past issues taking in whole picture of status of roof. As long time home owners of older homes we realize the value of maintenance for prevention & repairs as needed for long term stability of a home as well as lowering risk for problems later on . That said - there have been many occasions where a contractor cut corners or didn't relate essential info only to have problems down the road . Most appreciative Robert noted we had no drip edges on garage ( no wonder we had recent wood damage / rot after last roofers work) and suggested installment. He also problem solved how our painters could get up to 3 rd level dormer assuring their & the roof tile safety. Robert coordinated timing for painter wallboard & repairs right away & he & his 2 workers had all work completed exactly as scheduled . It was great having someone on site who loves & knows his work & goes above & beyond to do the job right. I will definitely utilize R&R for any future needs & highly recommend ! Huge improvement from past experience with larger roof companies where owner out of site once contract signed . <br />"

"Exterior Arts service was very professional. The windows were special order from Anderson and because of the pandemic the fulfillment was delayed, Tom continually kept us updated on the status. When they arrived Exterior Arts installed them promptly and expertly. My house id over 150 years old so that is not an easy feat."

"It's obvious to see how Terry, the owner of Quality Roofing, has earned an A rating. His proposal / contract was detailed, clear, and competitively priced. Terry made several suggestions for improvements over the existing roof. He even made an extra trip to my home just to select the best color for the new trim and to check that it would fit correctly. The job required communication and coordination among suppliers, services, roofers, as well as me, the customer. The fact that the project proceeded smoothly speaks for itself. The crew on the roof pointed out a couple of moisture issues with the wood under the old shingles, and quickly repaired the problem areas. The ground crew covered the entire area around the house to catch all the debris, and cleanup was quite well done. Several of the people have worked for Terry a long time. The job was completed as promised and on time."

"When many of my neighboring homes were having new shingles applied to <br /> their roofs I thought it might be time to replace my shingles as well. I <br /> got two estimates from other local companies and called Bail Home <br /> services for a third estimate.. The folks from Bail actually inspected <br /> my present roof carefully and said my shingles weren't yet in need of <br /> replacement and that just a few minor repairs including a new boot on an <br /> exhaust vent would be sufficient. I was thrilled! I will certainly <br /> call Bail for future inspections and use them to do the work when the <br /> time comes.. I appreciated their expertise and professionalism. <br />"

FAQs for roofing installation & roof repair projects in Elkhart, IN

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.
