"They did a great job. The lead person took lots of time to answer any and all of my questions while going over the estimate and during construction. I was never pressured to make a decision on materials or to hire them for the project. Only took 1-1/2 days for the entire project. They were always courteous and friendly and worked very well together as a team. The finished roof looks really nice. They had huge dropcloths to help catch the old roof material, besides the dumpster, and removed the debris from each area as they finished with it.  The clean up was awesome. Haven't found any stray nails at all. I would definitely recommend them for any roofing needs. <br />"

"Our "only" negative comment about Ground Zero Shelters is that they do not come to a persons residence to give the sales pitch and demonstration. You must go to their showroom or see their product at a home show. This being said, we were extremely happy with the sales experience, reminders and installation of our shelter. They called about 10 days prior to the installation for a reminder, their installers called the day before and the morning of the installation to remind us that they would be at our home at the designated time. They showed up as promised and were completed with the installation in less than 1 1/2 hours time! Thank you Ground Zero!"

"Ryan arrived as stated to review the job and provide a quote. He emailed the quote within 2 days. The quote was online with other quotes I obtained. He responded to any emails I sent that same evening. He and his crew were professional in all aspected of their job. They arrived on time each day of the job. They used full sheets of plywood to protect the siding of my house and the neighbors when they tore off the old shingles. The cleaned up each night and left no debris after each of the 3 days of work. The roof was removed and tar paper put on day 1, reshingled on day 2 and the porch was fixed on day 3. I highly recommend David Construction and will use them again in the future."

"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."

"The job took about five months and the rood did not pass inspection. City Builders took down all the information and then passed it on to another contractor. It was leaking around the chimney badly but they did not pass on any information to the people that did it so they didn’t know about the specific problems. They didn’t have the shingles that I chose in stock so they just substituted it with something else without even asking me. The workers were of a different nationality and I was told that they couldn’t speak English but they could speak and understand English. They left beer cans on the roof and the yard. I think the price was competitive. The quality was good once the whole thing was done but it took six months to get it."

"My first experience on Angie's List was to find a contractor to repair a leaking roof.  When I purchase my home the roof had been replaced within 2 years of purchasing.  Yet within a year water was leaking into my living room.  When other contractors came out they'd stand in the driveway and look up at the roof, then tell me all I needed were new gutters, which didn't help. All in one actually got up on the roof to investigate determining where my roof was leaking and fix it. With their estimate they provided proof on insurance and state contractor certification.  Before the roof work commenced,  rain was forecast All In One, covered the roof with tarps.  Once the work was completed they cleaned up the yard and driveway of all the old tiles, nails, and other debris.  Shortly after they completed there work, it rained again.  I held my breath but no water came dripping down from the ceiling.  In addition to the roof, since they were going to be up on the roof, I had them replace an old skylight.  No, the skylight wasn't the cause of the leak, I just took advantage of the opportunity to replace it. <br />"

"Central Home Improvements is thoroughly organized and professional from initial contact to the end of the job and beyond. We've had a lot of work done (roofing, electric, flooring, energy, patio) on the house over the past several of years and CHI was the easiest to deal with out of any of the contractors, service providers and other folks we've worked with. Don worked with us patiently in going over a number of different roofing options, and for a metal roof, CHI was definitely the best combination of affordability, quality and ability to get the job done when we needed it. They had to work in conjunction with a solar-panel installer, and that process appeared to go seamlessly, even though the two had never worked together before. <br /> I can't really judge the quality of the roof any better than the next non-expert, but everything about this company made it seem trustworthy and honest. It's only been about eight months, but the gutters have certainly been tested in a pretty wet year and were installed exactly in the odd configurations I wanted, but with full discussion and suggestions from Don. The roof looks great and we've had no problems. And the small skylight -- a light tunnel, really -- is fantastic. Well worth the $800 or so we spent. You'd think a one-foot hole in the roof couldn't make a huge difference, but even on dreary days it's like having a gentle but bright lamp in a place that used to be gloomy all the time. Fantastic dispersion of natural light. My sister-in-law was looking for a way to turn it off the first time she saw it (and that was a grey afternoon). <br /> Really, there's not a lot I remember about the actual work, even though it went on for a long time and we had to coordinate a lot of stuff with our neighbors and CHI because of our small, cramped, shared driveway. We have a century-old home and it wasn't easy work, but the fact that it went so smoothly and I can't remember much of it now is a testament to CHI's professionalism. <br /> A few months later they sent us an invitation to their annual employee and customer appreciation dinner. Something about that feels kind of odd, since we really didn't get to know the crew very well (they pretty much refused to even come in to use the bathroom -- perhaps a company policy). Yet those kind of things make us appreciate Central Home's attention to detail. Had we not just come back from a long trip, we might have gone ahead and gone to the party anyway! It was certainly a good idea. Great company to do business with. <br />"

FAQs for roofing installation & roof repair projects in Farley, IA

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.
