"The work was done in a timely manner, and as I was told we needed to wait to paint the stairs, and that was the last item, i paid in full. It has now been over a year and i keep requesting that they come out and complete the work, and i receive no response. Disappointed."

"Really pleased with my new deck. The work was completed quickly and looks amazing. I wish they'd removed the leftover building materials but that's a minor thing. Definitely recommend"

"Vincent did an absolutely beautiful job on my cement and asphalt driveway. Their craftsmanship was top-notch. They finished the job quickly, and left the work area clean when they were not there. They stayed in touch throughout the process, and they take tremendous pride in their work. I have worked with hundreds of contractors over the years and these folks are among the very best and most reliable. Cannot say enough good things, also the prices were competitive, and they delivered a better quality of work than I would expect for a similar price."

"The Cahoons are beyond excellent. Over 30 years they have helped us update, remodel, and (most recently) replace the siding. Our 45 year old home was poorly built, and that makes working on it tricky. Luke, Matt, and their team do not take the easy route - they rebuild the shoddy so it will last. When they ran into problems from the poor initial construction, they offered options for correcting it and made sure we understood the options. They have high standards, an incredible depth of knowledge of building, materials, and design. Every time I wake up to a snug home on a cold morning, easily open a window that used to stick, or gently shut the formerly unusable door, I am grateful to have been lucky enough to have had the work done by such. outsanding company. You cannot go wrong with Cahoon Building and Remodeling. "

FAQs for addition to existing structure building service projects in Essex, CT

You can typically raise your roof by four to eight feet, depending on your home's structure and roof design. The exact amount depends on factors like roof slope and framing support. Raising the roof creates additional interior space, enhances natural light, and increases your home's value. Consult a professional to determine the feasible height increase for your home.

Yes, you need a building permit to raise your roof. Obtaining a building permit ensures your project complies with local building codes and safety regulations. A professional contractor can assist with the permit and inspection process and ensure all legal and safety requirements are met. Your contractor will be familiar with building codes in your area, which can differ between cities or states.

While it's possible to raise a flat roof, it requires extensive structural modifications. Flat roofs lack the attic space and support structures of pitched roofs, so raising them involves significant engineering to ensure safety and durability. This process can be complex and costly, so professional assessment is essential before undertaking a project of this magnitude.
