"I was very pleased with the quote I received, and generally satisfied with the overall experience of having the roof work performed.  There was a substantial delay from when our roof was quoted to when the work was actually done - mainly due to some early snow in November of 2014 and some scheduling pains.  There are things that you can't really control, so I'm not going to take marks off of the Punctuality score.    The roof is beautiful.  We've gotten lots of compliments from neighbors and friends.  I haven't found a single nail or other debris in my yard, either.  So kudos for doing a fantastic job on the roof!! <br /> The original score of a B for Responsiveness stems from general lack of communication on the skylight selection and installation.  Since the skylights were to be installed in a bedroom, we requested factor-installed window shades.  We were given the dimension of the skylight but didn't realize that the venting skylight of this dimension does not allow for a manual operated blackout shade.  We requested a blackout shade, and were not told that they were not an option for the window being ordered.   The shades selection was "finalized" when we were told that the solar powered window shades were $300 more expensive than the manual shades because they are solar powered require an RF chip, etc. to operate.   We were not told that the blackout shade was not an option at this point, either. <br /> It was only after the windows were installed (and the holes cut into the sub roof) were we aware that venetian blinds were ordered with the skylights.  These blinds don't offer much in terms of room-darkening.  At that point we were informed that the black out shades were not an option for our window make and model.  And to make the skylights work in this room, we will have to buy some after market black out shades, in addition to what we have.  <br /> Since the skylights were not part of the original roof quote, the details of our order were flushed out in face to face conversations with Jeremy and via text message.  I would have preferred to have seen a separate quote, stating exactly what was being ordered.  In hind sight, I wish I would have been more adamant in requiring it, instead of an "invoice correction" at the end of the job.  If anything I've learned from my lesson - as this is the first time I've worked with a contractor on a big project like this as a home owner.  The skylights themselves are beautiful and vent the room well, and Jeremy did an excellent job on the installation. <br /> <br /> ** Update:  After submitting my review, my final cost was adjusted down to compensate us for the cost of after market blinds that should meet our needs.  Thus, all grades are updated to A's....  Thanks, Jeremy!"

"Patrick Keenan is the owner of this company. He is an excellent guy. It was a small project and I got the feeling that he was willing to do the job. The person whom he sent out did a good job. Pat seemed extremely knowledgeable and he was not trying sell me something. He was trying to assess my needs and figure out what the best solution was. That is what I appreciated about him. He showed the different options and the benefits of the various options. When I asked him how he felt if I went with the lower option, he said that would do a fine job and if I face any problems he would come out assess it for me and that he would use it on his own home. He was honest and said that he did not know if there is a perfect gutter system out there and I appreciated that he was reasonable about things. His person was right on time and was respectful of the property where the ladders were placed and was very efficient of getting things done."

FAQs for roofing installation & roof repair projects in Freeport, MI

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.
