"As an environmentally conscious household, it was important to us to hire a service that used neither harsh chemicals, nor bleach products for roof cleaning. I previously received Roof Renew Pros’ mailer and held onto it for this occasion as we had gotten moss and lichen growth on our roof. I kept the mailer as it stated their use of organic products, as well as no pressure washing, which was very important to us. After reading reviews, we decided to call RRP. Barbara came and inspected our roof, explained what was growing on it and took photos for us to see what was going on up there. There was more moss on our roof than we had initially thought. Barbara went over the process, what would be done on the day of and next day, gave us the price, so we booked our cleaning. The RRP crew arrived on the day, cleaned our roof in a timely manner and applied a sealer to prevent new growth anytime soon. Our roof is now lichen/moss-free and winter ready. It looks like it did when we first moved in. The crew was thorough and very helpful. The price fell within what we expected to pay for such a service and the fact that RRP use organic products, was HUGE to us. We’ll definitely use RRP in the future and totally recommend this company for your roof cleaning! Quality and eco consciousness matters to us, since our home is our biggest investment."

"I cannot say enough about DM Contracting. Danny and Marie are terrific--professional, fair, communicative, and a pleasure to work with. This is the third job we've done with them in our backyard, and as usual they took care of all our needs. Their workers did a top-notch job and were easy to discuss specifics with. The highest praise: we recommend them to our neighbors!"

"GREAT! I have been using B & P for more than 30 years. They are reliable, dependable, their pricing is fair and honest and their front office is friendly and helpful. These people really know what they’re doing; they were able to get past a difficult bend in the chimney to recline without removing g bricks. They are just as responsive for a chimney cleaning as for a major repair. I wouldn’t use anyone else!"

"I wanted the thermostat for my central air conditioner replaced with a "smart" wifi thermostat that I had purchased. Also there were a few minor things I wanted done as well. The existing thermostat only ran on AA batteries and there was no power wire to connect to the thermostat where the thermostat that was to be installed. John went up in the attic where the air conditioner was and re-did the wiring there so that a power wire was available at the thermostat location. He and his assistant then replaced a light switch in the kitchen and rewired a faulty light fixture in the basement. Everything went beautifully. I have used John several times and I am always impressed with his knowledge and the solutions he always comes up with. Truly a can do guy!"

"My driveway fell apart within days. The company is non-responsive to a warranty claim. It wasn't installed properly, and the gravel started flaking off immediately. It is already leaving depressions which will only get worse after winter. I have been chasing this company for months with vague promises they will look into it. Their last response was for me to sealcoat the driveway - at my expense! - which would only cover up the damage. I am pursuing a claim in court. Avoid this company if you don't want to have to do this."

FAQs for roofing installation & roof repair projects in Forest Hills, NY

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.
