"Called Bill White on Thurs to look into replacing 2 skylights on roof. One was leaking so decided to replace both. Bill was able to come out same day to give estimate. Because both were standard size skylights, Bill was able to locate a supplier who had 2 available. Bill and his crew came out next day to install. They were very professional and knowledgeable. Prepped and cleaned up work site. Bill worked with me on price and we are very happy with the completed work. Would definitely recommend."

"Barb and her team are fantastic! We received a letter from our home owner's insurance company telling us that we needed to have mold and lichen removed from our roof or face costly penalties. As new home owners, the last thing we needed was to replace our roof after all the expenses of closing, moving, and making repairs. Barb came out to assess our roof, which turned out to be in great shape. Some close-proximity trees created the mold and lichen situation. With an expert consultation and some helpful instructions, Barb set us up for service. The team that came out to clean our roof was friendly, knowledgeable, efficient, and safety-focused. We had our roof and siding cleaned, which brought both amazing curb appeal and peace of mind knowing that we no longer had harmful lichen and mold that could damage our roof. I would highly recommend Roof Renew Pros LLC."

"First time homeowner and needed a new roof!!! I looked online and had no clue on what I was doing or looking for.. came across this site(Clearview roofing) and read the reviews throughly…. Gave them a called to schedule a quote… they sent my husband and I ERIC LEVI!!! He came on time and gave us the ins and outs of what we requested and some.. we were immediately at ease and very comfortable before the work eve begin. Eric gave us a quote and told what we needed and that he would take care of us… that’s exactly what he did.. His crew came early and went yo work immediately and was very efficient! When the work was done they cleaned up everything as if nothing was even done… we were even provided with samples for the roof to pick from which helped us make an easy decision! I also recommended the company and ERIC services to our friend the same day! I give 5 stars and highly recommended to anyone looking to have roof work done Eric we thank you so much"

"Several years ago my husband and I discovered Progress through Angie's List. Ivan and Roman completed several jobs within our home (custom shelving, TV mounting, drywall ,painting etc...). Recently we were interested in remodeling the exterior wall of our home to include a brick surface. We consulted several professional bricklayers and masonry experts to perform the work. We experienced unrealistic estimates, no collaboration for design ideas and unreliable references. We remembered Progress and our great experience with him in the past and contacted them. Honestly, we were not very hopeful that they would be able to do the work as I always consider brickwork to be specialized. Within an hour of reaching out to Roman and Ivan, they responded with photos of Brick work they had recently completed. I was able to send them rough measurements for an estimate and they quickly replied. Bottom line, these guys are amazing!. I will describe our experience in a list form; 1. Pricing for materials and labor was fair and accurate. 2. Progress has very high standards and they take great pride in their work, with wonder results. 3 setup and cleanup is done without disrupting your household. 4. Excellent time management. They stick to their schedule, and work is completed when promised. 5. Receipts have been provided for all materials purchased. 6 very professional friendly and approachable. 7 collaboration for design ideas that worked with our budget . 8 No hesitation to call them FIRST, THE next time we need work to be done in our home. P.S. during our project we decided to add a cement element. Progress suggested we extend the work by a few feet to prevent leaks. This was honest advice as we have been told the same thing by other construction professionals in the past. They offered advice for the sole purpose of saving us the heartache of future damage. Don't waste time planning home repairs or modifications with another company. Go straight to Progress! Very satisfied customers, The Sammon Family Maspeth New York"

"Vinny and his team at McLeod Brothers were fantastic to work with. Our new home had its original wood shake roof (100 years old) with 4 layers of asphalt shingles layered on top. Vinny was extremely communicative, honest, and diligent - he stopped by the site almost every day to check-in. His team was incredibly efficient and very hard working. With a complete roof removal and installation there is always going to be some debris around the home (old roofing and nails), but his team did an incredible job of cleaning up. Vinny's team also installed new gutters and copper valleys - again, top notch work from them. I highly recommend using Vinny and his team for your roofing needs."

FAQs for roofing installation & roof repair projects in Elmhurst, NY

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.
