"Jon was great!! He fixed out roof turbine and made sure everything was leak proof so we didn't have any problems this winter. I would recommend using him for anything you need done. Great experience."

"<p>The crew showed up on the appointed date.  Where at my house early every day of the job and stayed late.  They did a great job of clean up, trash and nail removal.  The workers where polite and considerate.  No shouting, and no loud music.  Hard workers.  In addition to the classic roof repair for the house and garage, they replaced a flat roof that required a rubber overlay and sealant.  They also closed in the soffits where wind had damaged and pulled down the old siding.</p> <p>Over all I was very pleased with their service.  They got the job done under their estimate cost.  I have asked for and received estimates for future jobs and will probably use them for those as well. </p> <br />"

"Ernie Haas provided a very thorough examination of our roof which enabled us (after much back and forth with our roofer (DCF Contracting)) to ensure that all necessary and required repairs were made to our roof. Mr. Haas stayed in contact with us for more than a month to ensure that any questions or issues we had were addressed."

"He found a problem with the way my bathroom vent was installed, and he solved that problem before continuing - very much appreciated! The job was done on time, on budget, and professionally handled. It was a mess afterwards, but that is the way it goes with dense-packed insulation. And there were a few nicks on the new sheetrocked walls because of the equipment, but again, not sure that can be avoided. I would hire him again, without reservation. <br />"

"Ronald was here within 2 hours of my call. He went in the attic so I could show him where it leaks, then out on the roof. After carefully inspecting, he determined one small place that could possibly be the problem. He goes to his truck, comes back with a small bit of tar, patches the place. He's done but assures me that if it continues to leak that he'll be right back out and to let him know. <br /> I asked him if they took credit cards and he said - Oh, no charge for this. We don't charge unless we actually DO something. Well, he DID actually do something - but he nicely refused. I've never heard of a company who made a house call for free - and with a small repair, it's still free. You can bet when I need to replace my roof that I'll call them. <br />"

"Lipe Brothers Construction was 1 of 3 companies we contacted for an estimate on replacing an existing garage door.  Response time to meet w/homeowners was extremely fast and pleasant.  One week later we were still awaiting an estimate and after contacting the company we learned, apologetically, that they had lost the quote sheet and had yet to send out an estimate.  Estimate arrived two days later.  Bookkeeping/paperwork was taken into consideration when we decided which company we wanted to do business with. <br />"

FAQs for roofing installation & roof repair projects in Embarrass, MN

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.
