"We were not at the cabinn at the time of installation. Phone contacts with Dylan were very positive. They were to put tip ups on both downspouts, but had put only one on. Phone call to correct was no problem. It will get re-done."

"It went great. A man measured the windows to be replaced and gave us a price. We went with them and on the scheduled they a crew of three arrived on time and had the old windows removed and the new window totally installed in a 3 to 4 hours. They did a good clean up too."

"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."

"I have a 112 year old Craftsman 3-story house in southern Minnesota, and as one might imagine, things tend to wear out and need replacement. In my 9 years at this location, I have had two or three roof problems, and although I have called every roofer listed in the book and a couple who are not listed, Rightway is the only company that has ever followed through with both a visit and a written estimate. Therefore, they have gotten my business. <br /> The roofing season in Minnesota is shortened by snow and ice that can prevent roofers from going up on a roof for several months, so timing is critical. I started trying to hire someone in late March, and three roofers came and looked at the job. Rightway's estimate and a contract arrived a couple of days after they looked at the project. My only complaint was that after they had received my signed contract, it took them over a month to get back to me to schedule the job, and this scheduling happened only after I contacted them twice--a week between my two phone calls. But once they had my attention, they were able to schedule their work within a couple of weeks. <br /> They showed up on time the day they said they would come, demoed the damaged shingles, cleaned up and hauled away the mess, installed new shingles and finished three days later. They wasted no time. Their workmen were careful and well mannered, and the quality of their work seems to be good. As their truck was pulling away, one of the other two roofers I had called for an estimate six or eight weeks earlier phoned me to talk about doing the job, but I had to tell him that the work had been completed by someone else. <br /> My roofing problems stem from a batch of bad Certain-teed shingles that were sold in this region ten or twelve years ago, and I am eligible for a Class Action settlement with this company. Bob at Rightway furnished me with a detailed invoice that I can send with my claim. Rightway seems to understand how to handle the business aspect of the roofing industry as well as the actual application of the roofing materials, and we need more of that from contractors here in south central Minnesota. I hope Angie's List provides motivation for more contractors to conduct their business in a more professional manner."

FAQs for roofing installation & roof repair projects in Emily, 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.
