"These guys are not only pros—they are true gutter artisans. After a decidedly frustrating experience with previous roofers, who were at best sloppy but in any case showed no pride in work, working with Ryan Hankey and Always Perfect Contracting has been a breath of fresh air. The work was a challenging replacement of a decayed and rotting box gutter on a circa 1850s historic home on a steep hillside with 36 stairs. There was no way to save the box gutter. Ryan and his team of Jeff and Dino worked long days in high heat and humidity to get the job done in two days. Not only did they replace the gutter, they remediated some of the sloppiness perpetrated by previous roofers at no extra cost. I got three bids on this project, and although Always Perfect Contracting was not the cheapest, the level of craftsmanship more than warranted the price differential. I cannot recommend these guys highly enough—7 stars (out of 5)."

"Hired Bucco's to do an emergency tarping when a tree fell on my house while waiting for insurance to approve a repair because they made a lot of promises that they'd be able to stop the water and get my roof "water tight". First off, they don't seem to understand what an emergency is because they took a week to first get out while it rained almost every day and I had water pouring through my roof. Once they finally got it on, it rained again the next and sure enough, water starts pouring through the roof again. I send them a text and they say "yeah, we'll send someone back out". Another week goes by while it rains every other day and they finally get out to adjust the tarp. Two days later, it rains again, and once again, water starts pouring through the roof into the house. Text them again, and they tell me "oh well, flat roofs are tricky" and then never come back out. Luckily another company was able to push me up on their schedule"

"Dean is the finest, most respectful, most punctual contractor I’ve ever worked with. This was my second time working with him, the first being a total roof replacement 3 years ago. Both experiences were stellar and the roof is as perfect as the day it was installed. Thanks Dean!"

"Beware, get an inspection before paying. I'm a busy contractor that needed to a roof and siding on one of our rentals so I called Whalen. I stopped by the first day of the job and noticed no one spoke English and some shortcuts taken on the back porch roof. I spoke with Mike and he said it would be fixed. A few days later Whalen called me and said the job is finished and they emailed us the bill. I decided I better get my ladder and inspect their work just to be sure. I found tears and holes in the new shingles, flashing not installed correctly and damaged drip edges. They came back and fixed those issues and emailed us the bill again. I knew the roof had a significant amount of rotted wood so before we sent a check I asked them if the rotted wood was replaced and they said yes. I decided I should go into the attic to make sure it was replaced and it was not. They also installed the ridge vent without cutting the actual vent therefore shortening the life of the new roof due to excessive attic heat. When I spoke with Shawn Whalen he apologized and said that they subcontracted this job to some guys they had never used before and Whalen didnt bother inspecting there work. Those guys came back a total of five times and ripped up part of the new roof and fixed everything. I had a total of 5 hours of my own time inspecting and getting them to complete the job properly."

"My roof was over 30 years old and needed replaced. Roberto came out, looked at my roof and some recommendations. He pointed out that my gutters needed replaced and my chimney needed repaired. His crew came out and had the entire job done in three days. They did a great job and a great clean-up. Everyone was polite and professional."

"The crew at Burns and Scalo got us out of a bind. We are a small historical society with a home on the national register. We went with a low bid for our first roof and it was a mistake. The contractor sent people who must have never put on a roof before. The roof was a total failure. Burns and Scalo was recommended to us, came out and looked at the job and re-did it. They used better materials and for the same price as the last job, meven installed a new deck. It wasn't a large job but they made us feel like we were the most important client on earth. We will never forget what Adam and the others did for us. It was amazing. This roof was put on a year ago and we have had no problems at all. I wouldn't use anyone else."

"Gunner Roofing We used Gunner to replace shingles. They told us that if we upgraded the skylight to one that is solar powered we would get a tax credit of 30% of the entire job, a savings of over $2000. We weren't planning to replace the skylight but the numbers made sense. When we filed our taxes for that year we learned that the skylight they used did NOT qualify for the tax credit. They mislead us to spending an extra $2,500 on the job. When I called to complain I left a message but no one ever returned my call. This is after they didn't do a good job on the roof and it took them months to come back and fix the leaks they caused. STAY AWAY!! Show less"

FAQs for roofing installation & roof repair projects in Export, PA

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.
