"Because of my roof leaking the schedule date was moved up 2 weeks. The repair man called ahead to let me know he was coming and when to expect him. Explained what he had to do and what he was finding as he was making the repairs. Very pleasant and professional service. i will be using them to replace my roof in several years."

"This review is going to seem strange because Trenton Roofing and Siding did not actually do any work for me. However, I wanted to share how impressed I was with their presentation. I contacted four roofing companies for removal and replacement of a residential roof. I researched each as much as I possibly could using written reviews on sites such as this and general reputation. All four companies offered Timberline shingles and provided folders containing small patches of the available colors. Ever imagine how a new carpet will look in your house from looking at small carpet sample? Just as difficult to imagine your roof color from a small patch of roof tile. Only Trenton Roofing’s website listed locations of past work and a filter to find each of the Timberland colors on a completed roof. My wife and I were able to drive to multiple locations, within a twenty minute radius of our home and see the colors on competed roofs. I set up an appointment with Trenton Roofing and Jamie arrived on time and was friendly and informative regarding the work to be performed. He quickly sent us a written estimate which was the most detailed of all four companies. I had additional questions for each company’s representative after receiving their estimates and Jamie was the quickest to respond to those questions. Finally, Trenton Roofing was the lowest priced. So why didn’t I hire them? I would have except a large section of my roof requires a flat roof system. One company submitted an alternative type of flat roof that costs several thousand dollars more than that offered by Trenton Roofing or the other two companies. I am able to afford the extra cost and decided on that option. If looking for a new roof I would recommend Trenton Roofing and Siding as a company to contact and consider for the job."

"Universal Roofing delivered a great looking roof, high quality, and as promised in terms of time and $. They also were responsive to special requests like painting my chimney and some minor shoring up of my gutters. I found the team who did the installation to be careful and respectful – covering up my tree and plants that I had out front to prevent damage. I am very satisfied that it was done right and that I should not have to worry about my roof again for a very long time. Thanks."

"I would definitely recommend AV Contracting. They did excellent work on my neighbor’s roof and he was very pleased, so I asked them to estimate mine as well. From the first meeting, Alex was a good listener about what I wanted to have done, investigated all my roof issues and made sound recommendations, followed by a competitive quote. I had 3 roofers estimate my roof replacement and decided to go with AV for the reasons above. He was always responsive, honest, friendly and helpful. The crew showed up on time, was professional and courteous, quiet, and focused on getting the job done quickly and right. I inspected frequently as they were working and I was very satisfied with the quality of the work, materials, and crew. They also cleaned up very well and left no trace that they were ever there. The roof looks great and I have no complaints or issues even after an all day torrential downpour-no problems!"

FAQs for roofing installation & roof repair projects in Fort Washington, 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.
