"Although the roof appeared to be in good condition, I decided to have it replaced as it was over 30 years old. In late September of 2018, I met with Shadowfax roofing estimator John. John was very knowledgeable and understood the issues with the high pitch of the roof. He provided two quotes. The first quote was for the basic Owens Corning Tru Definition shingles ($9,980) and the second was for Duration Premium shingles ($10,580). I opted for the higher quality shingles. Since the gutters were going to be replaced, I requested the wood that extended beyond the roofline be cut in order for the gutters to extend to the end. John explained it would not be a problem, however, any dry rot would need to be removed and replaced with new wood. Additionally, I had requested a vent be added for the bathroom as it was venting into attic instead of through the roof. John also indicated everything could be completed in about 3-4 days. However, it would be about three months before the job wold get done. Since there was no hurry, I agreed. In early November, I received a call from their scheduler, Pam stating the job would start on November 13th. I explained I would be leaving town on November 16th. She stated the job would be pretty much finished by then. Unfortunately, there were some delays. On the first day, the workers did not show up until late in the afternoon to remove the roof. On the second day, work stopped to due to the dry rot issue. Although, I had explained to the foreman on the first day of what I had wanted done specifically, replace any rot and cut all the overhangs, work stopped until I gave the okay to do the repairs. Fortunately, the dry rot was minimal, however, it caused a delay as there was only one person doing the job and he had left for the day. The foreman explained the previous job had some issues, which required their attention. On Friday, the crew for the gutters arrived early in the morning, however, they couldn't do the gutters as the overhangs still needed to be cut. So, crew returned later in the afternoon. Since I was unable to be present when the job was completed, my family supervised. I was informed the work was not completed until Sunday. When I returned home, I noticed the vent I had requested be added was not done. I contacted Pam and she stated it would get done. A few days later it rained. I have had no problems with the roof. Although there was a lack of communication in the beginning and delays, the job was done well. I would hire them again. However, I have learned my lesson that roof replacements should be done in spring or summer."

"Robert from V&G Builders is very professional and his workmanship is excellent. What set him apart early on in the project that I did with him was that he is a man of his word. He shows up on time and works hard to get the job done based on the schedule he promised upfront. As a homeowner, I have dealt with many different contractors and believe me when I tell you I have heard every excuse about why a job will not be finished on time or why it will go over budget. But working with Robert was a breeze because he takes pride in what he does and the quality of work he delivers. He takes the time to explain the project to you and his billing and invoicing is also very professional and detailed. You will not have any surprises with Robert once he signs up to do the job and I am confident you will not be disappointed in the quality of his work. For this reason I recommend him wholeheartedly."

"Because of the rains they needed to come up several times to lay materials to protect the roof. They were always timely and courteous during this process and when they put the new roof on. They did a beautiful job with the new roof, were in and out in a short time, and left the property very clean. In short, they were a wonderful Co. to do business with and the new roof is beautiful. I would recommend them unconditionally in the future."

"My wife and I would like to recognize the incredible job Alex Oceguera and his crew did on installing a new roof at our Hillsborough house. I started with four Diamond Certified roofing contractors. They each visited our house and provided their quotes. From the start, Alex was incredibly responsiveness with phone calls, emails and text messages. His deep roofing and licensed contractor experience, integrity, practical advice was very evident. This was both on the right roofing materials and related items (gutters, stainless steel leaf covers, down spouts, etc) as well as expert workmanship in terms of proper roof protection and details on under-laments, etc. Alex gave us many pages of customer addresses where he had installed a new roof. This helped us a great deal in choosing aesthetically the best roof material design and color. Alex ‘s advice on the type of roofing materials and choices gave us all the information we needed to make an informed decision. The Cosmos team of expert craftsman, their attention to detail, including always cleaning things up at the end of each way, was very much appreciated. We are very pleased with our new roof and receive generous compliments from our friends and relatives who visit us. All factors considered, roofing materials, workmanship, warranties, delivery to estimated costs and timeline, Cosmos Roofing and Alex delivered the best value we could have imagined. We are very impressed and appreciative. We give A+ rating to this very positive experience, the Cosmos team’s expertise, and lasting value we feel we have received. We very highly recommend Alex and the Cosmos dependable team."

"Within hours Ridout personnel responded to my call. Two men did the checks. They recommended I change the roof vents. They also reattached the TV antenna. It has withstood the latest storms."

"1. I was given incorrect information on the phone; I was told the team would show up ready to work. They didn't. They showed up to do nothing more than take pictures and notes and discuss the job so a P&E guy could work up the estimate. That's OK, except that's not what I was told on the phone.  And they were over 30 minutes late. <br /> 2.  No one ever called back. <br /> 3.  I finally called them, reminded them about the job and asked if someone was going to call, left my name and contact number (again).  I was told someone would contact me. No one ever called, again.  If you're that busy, great, at least call. <br /> Because I thought I was doing business with Scudder, I didn't call other roofers, so I ended up getting more water into my house from the leaks that I called them about. <br /> Terrible customer service and follow-through. <br /> <br /> Update: Please see my comments in the "What did the provider do?" section.  No company is perfect, and Mr. Scudder's response to my experience turned me around on using Scudder Roofing in the future."

"Overall, I was pleased with the service provided and the quality of work. After the re-roofing was completed, we did have a leak near one of our skylights, which we didn't have before the re-roofing. However, Steve was quick to respond to this problem. He explained what caused the problem and implemented a fix. This problem and another minor problem prevented me from giving an and quot;excellentand quot; rating. <br /> Steve was very good at answering our questions prior to winning the contract with us. He was patient and professional. <br /> <br /> <br />"

FAQs for roofing installation & roof repair projects in Gilroy, CA

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.
