"I had excellent service, they showed up on time and got the roof repair done rather quickly. <br /> We currently have a one layer roof and could get another layer before we have to have to starting over all together. We decided to go with the repair along with other issues that needed to be fixed and wait to get the next layer at another time. I feel like they knew what they were doing and had seen other roofs they had done in the neighborhood, which looked really nice. I would hire them again and feel like I was getting the job I paid for. <br />"

"Their company foundation is good with regards to family and church. They have the technology to measure your roof and still provide a quote even if it is raining outside. John was delayed in calling to say he would be late and arrived 50 minutes past the original appointment time. We requested GAF materials and Timberline HD Lifetime roofing materials. We asked specific questions regarding their workforce, preventing damage to the lawn, insurance liability, contractor numbers, etc., Ultimately, the deciding factor for us when looking at value and price was to go with another contractor that provided the exact same value and was more prompt with a greater longevity of their workforce for about $2,500 less (but not less in service or quality). Out of 3 contractors, I only had 1 who did a follow-up call (not pushy either). Estimate was for a colonial house inclusive of small porch roof and two dormers and garage. Quantity for just roofing shingles 3 tab, 130 mph rating was 20 SQ. I never recommend going with a large company or "fly by night" roofing company so I absolutely suggest getting quotes from local companies like Best who will do it right!"

"Our experience with Rafferty Painting was very positive. They are professional, responsive and provide quality work. <br /> We called Mike on Thursday afternoon about getting an estimate, thinking it would be several days before that could be arranged. <br />  However, they were working on a job not too distant from our property and offered to come by that same day.  Patrick arrived in about an hour, reviewed what we needed to have done and gave us a fair estimate for the work.  He said the work would be done very soon, though hard to predict due to the rainy pattern of weather we'd been experiencing.  Sure enough, Patrick and his crew arrived on Monday morning and went straight to work. They finished the entire job in one day and did an outstanding job. <br /> After searching for a long time, it was wonderful to finally find a company that specializes in metal roof painting, and provides quality service.  We highly recommend this company. <br />"

"Mr. Haas identified problems in our roof installation and issued a report. He suggested re-install and steps that we should take to get it done. It was a long process that involved county and DPOR. Mr. Haas was very helpful every step during the entire process. He is highly experienced and very responsive to our calls, text, and email. We eventually got the roof reinstalled in a very good quality. Mr. Haas was onsite multiple times to ensure the right materials and methods were used. It would not be possible without the help from Mr. Haas."

"<p>They call to check on stuff so I still use them. They came out last fall because it is an annual thing; it is part of the annual contract. They just emailed me saying they would be out the Wednesday before Thanksgiving between 1 and 3 in the afternoon. That is just not a good time. There were a lot of options but the timing just did not work in my schedule. That was the first time that has happened. In the past the scheduling has not been an issue. I have had them for a while. I have not seen any bugs in my house. They gave me a window of time and they came on the early end of the window.  </p>"

FAQs for roofing installation & roof repair projects in Ellerslie, MD

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.
