"Their price was competitive. It was right in the range. I got three quotes, so it was right in the range of everyone. Their cost was acceptable and reasonable. He was easy to work with. He was easy to get in touch with and he responded to any questions or calls or whatever.  Some of these guys are impossible to get a hold of. It's even hard to make an appointment because they think they're busy, but he took care of his business like a business. I would use them in the future and I would recommend him. I have recommended him to other people. "

"WOW! 24 hours from dumpster and shingle arrival to dumpster pick up. The roof was DONE in 10 hours - I'm stunned! And I could not be more impressed with Dialed In Roofing & Exteriors and Caesar Dumpster LLC. From the beginning, they were so down to earth and helpful answering all of my questions. Thanh was amazing - he brought the drone out to take footage of the roof and walked me through what he saw up there. Because of the urgency with the 2 bedroom leaks we uncovered, they worked to get the job in the week of - and the good Lord blessed us with a beautiful day for them to work. They adjusted some of the twinkle lights and opened the back gates and everything was put back perfectly and buttoned up tight. I have found less than 10 stray nails, which is amazing! As they did tear off, they WALKED arm fulls of shingles to the higher roof line to throw into the dumpster, instead of letting it all fall over the yard. They had all sides covered with giant tarps to catch debris and keep it as contained as possible. One thing they mentioned that another company didn't, was looking in the attic crawl space for mold. I was even told by others, "oh yeah, I don't need to see it, we'll just go ahead with replacement". Thanh made sure to check out the locations of the leaks, showed me what he found and was comfortable that there was no mold issues present. Caesar Dumpster LLC snuck the dumpster into the driveway, right next to the retaining wall, with zero issues! I was so grateful to see them placing 2x4s down for the dumpster to sit on to preserve the driveway! And he came in quick this morning to remove it - nice and simple! I will rave about this process for a long time, and will recommend Dialed In anytime I have the opportunity! Thanh and crew - THANK YOU for the peace of mind you have given us!!!"

"Blue Sky replaced our 25-year-old roof and deck (flat roof and Trex deck, privacy screens and guard rails). Chris and his team were efficient and professional, cleaned up after every day, and did excellent work. The team created a gate for us as an emergency exit to our neighboring unit, and installed a simple yet elegant solution for the latches to be opened from either side. We love our new deck!"

"I had water leaking into a dining room from ice dams on the roof and I was out of town on business.  I called three different outfits I found on Angie's and Swistun was the first to answer the phone.  Initially they didn't think they could get to the job until the following day.  But, after agreeing to have them do the work for the following day, they called back about an hour later and were able to get a crew to my house within about two hours of my initial call.  Very prompt and very appreciated considering the potential water damage I was faced with.  Swistun is not cheap - I took a deep breath when I saw the final bill.  To be fair though, they were completely up front about the pricing when I called looking for help so the final bill was not a complete surprise.  They charged $180 for the first 30 minutes and $3/minute after that.  My entire job was about 1 1/2 hours.  Even at the price it was money well spent to prevent damage I would have spent even more to have repaired had the leakage continued.  Overall - good job. <br />"

"Lake Point Roofing was very attentive to detail, thorough, tidy before and after the job, and professional. I am very pleased with the results of my new roofs, and would recommend their services. In addition, my neighbor, who works with roofing contractors, watched throughout the installation process, and told me that they did an excellent job."

"I had received the contact of Peter from Advanced Roof from a friend. And as it turns out to be, I would recommend him to all my friends. We had received two other quotes to replace the roof and we found ALR to be very competitive. We were impressed by their ability to complete the job from start to finish in stipulated day and the efficient communication with their sales and admin team. He also went out of his way to work insurance and get everything settled. My insurance was a pain, but Peter handled it very well. We would highly recommend him to anyone looking to replace their roof or siding."

"Preferred roofing & Exteriors messaged me within half hour of messaging them. Fastest of the 3 companies I messaged. Mike showed up, he was professional, very knowledgeable of what was needed to be done. He inspected my attic and roof and found the issue. He did not charge me a service fee like the other two companies were trying to do. Super cool guy. If You were to ever need anything he's your guy. Thanks Mike"

FAQs for roofing installation & roof repair projects in Evanston, IL

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.
