"I have used the Tomas Brothers for a deck tear down and rebuild, installation of new windows and doors, and complete remodeling of our club room/basement including a small bathroom. They were responsive to my requests and creative in making a lovely cabinet to hide the sump pump. I will definitely call them when ready for the next project!"

"This company was wonderful to work with right from the beginning (initially contacted through Angie's list on 8/15/14, estimate performed on 9/03/14, and work completed on 9/10/14).   There were a few hiccups in initial scheduling, but part of that was our fault (we weren't paying attention to the voicemail message providing us with a different phone number to call because they were having phone issues in the office).  Every single person we dealt with was extremely friendly, professional, and very knowledgeable.  They made us feel at ease about the work we were getting done.  <br /> Horizon's quality of work is excellent!  I realize that only time will tell, but so far we've had a couple of very heavy rains since the work was performed an no leaking has occurred.   The aluminum coating they put on the roof looks fantastic - and there are no paint splatters anywhere on the house from the coating.   The guys did a marvelous job of cleaning up after themselves too - we couldn't even tell they were here.  Most contractors I've dealt with, including other roofers, leave behind a giant mess to clean up - and worse, they leave nails behind for people to step on or drive over with their tires (why do contractors do that?)...   anyway, you don't have to worry about any of that with Horizon.  <br /> We are relieved to have a roofing company that is so experienced with flat roofs in Baltimore City.  Horizon Roofing, Inc. will be our permanent go-to company if/when we have any roofing issues in the future.   It is so wonderfully refreshing to receive such top notch, quality service that you can trust!  <br /> <br />"

"Had a leak, replaced roof at their suggestion. Service was prompt. <br /> <br /> Misgiving is that I contacted him today regarding a leak in the same spot. Was told they're no longer in the area and that the roof is not under warranty. I find this puzzling because I see recent reviews here for the provider so I would have thought they'd at least come by and taken a look. <br />"

"<p> </p> <p>Our roof was damaged due to a hail storm.  Randy Spect from ReBuid, Inc.  came highly recommended, and I have since highly recommended him to others.  One of ReBuild?s services that impressed me was their expertise in working with insurance companies in handling damage claims.  They are a local company, have been in business for years, are professional, provide good service, and are very punctual.</p> <p> </p> <p>  </p> <p> </p> <p>Randy Spect quickly returned all calls.  He not only helped us with the roof installation process but also helped us through the insurance claim process.  He inspected our roof to assess the damage, then met with the insurance claims adjuster during their inspection of our roof to make sure all of the damages were included in the claim. He also coordinated with the insurance company in processing the claim. After receiving the necessary documents from the insurance company, we scheduled an appointment with Rebuild and they were out to install our roof within 2 weeks. </p> <p><br /></p> <p> </p> <p>The roofing crew did a great job.  They were on time, polite, and hardworking. They did a great job of cleaning up, and hauled away all debris.  A supervisor was on site.  The job was completed in one day.</p> <p><br /></p> <p> </p> <p>We are very happy with our roof, the way it looks, and our experience in working with Rebuild, Inc.  The entire process was smooth and stress free. We would highly recommend working with Randy Spect from ReBuild, Inc.  </p> <p><br /></p> <p>(By the way,  the cost of $11,175 is the total cost of the roof.  We only had to pay our insurance deductible.)</p> <p><br /></p> <p> </p> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <p> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /></p>   <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />m <br />"

"They fit us into the schedule the next day to secure the door. We got a great price, and the installers were very friendly. Another company was trying to talk me into buying a whole new door, but since only the jam needed repair, Dayson Schaffer and his team did AMAZING work rebuilding it, without talking us into buying something we didn't need. Highly recommend."

"Outstanding! Our house was over 40 years old! This made it difficult to match building materials: color, size or non-existent. Modern Remodeling did a great job! Our salesman was more than a salesman, he was a Project Officer. he was vey knowledgeable of building materials (colors) and their installation. This helped us a lot in selecting roofing and siding materials. It was also helpful in explaining necessary changes to us and the insurance adjuster. The main office scheduled materials and workers. Everything came together at the right time. I was concerned about the load on my driveway. When necessary materials were carried and stacked carefully. Very professional work! Unused materials and litter were removed and damage to the lawn/bushes were minimal. Thank you Modern Remodeling for an Outstanding job!"

"Oh my goodness! There are truly no words to convey how happy we are with our new shingles. Rob came out and met with us after we got estimates from three other companies. His knowledge, professionalism, and personality immediately helped us make up our minds to hire Politz Enterprises to replace our shingles on our home and detached garage. Rob was very attentive to helping us meet our timeline and explained the materials he would use and also explained their outstanding warranty. The crew he sent did an outstanding job at removing the old shingles, applying the new under-layment, installing the new drip edge, and finally applying the shingles. Despite how chilly it was in November, the men worked efficiently and did an outstanding job. They also did an excellent job at cleaning up once the job was complete. Rob came by once the job was complete to make sure we were completely satisfied. In our opinion, we are blessed to have the best roofing contractor in Maryland replace our roof. Thank you Rob and the entire crew who made our home look great again with the new roof you installed! Mike & Kathy D. - Middletown"

FAQs for roofing installation & roof repair projects in Fort-Howard, MD

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.
