"VERY impressed with the work and overall professionalism of Coast to Coast. From the proposal/quote stage all the way through payment, everything was fully communicated, executed quickly, and delivered with the utmost attention to detail —probably 2-3 weeks from first contact to finished work. They fixed the tuck pointing on our very old, crumbling limestone foundation and installed 3 glass brick windows. Even rough areas I would've expected them to miss because I hadn't explicitly pointed them out were touched up. Would definitely use again in the future. THANKS"

"Jamie and his crew did an excellent job replacing my electrical panel, redoing/adding kitchen circuits, adding under cabinet lights, and other details that brought my home up to code as part of my kitchen remodel. They knew the local electrical codes around Chicago and its suburbs very well (which are more stringent than most of the rest of the country). I highly recommend them for anyone requiring an electrician in the Chicagoland area."

"Hired for fireplace sweeping ($179) and dryer vent cleaning ($179). They noted that the chimney chase cover was sagging and holding water. Gave us a quote ($1,179) to replace the chase cover, which was completed a couple of weeks later. We are completely satisfied with the experience and would recommend this company."

"I can't say enough good words about Peter, Voytek and their crew. We've had a few masonry issues in our building. In two instances, they identified that the cause of leakage was not with the brickwork, but with deteriorated window caulking, or the downspout. We appreciated their honesty. I looked high and low for a company to caulk the exterior of our high third level windows. STAR came through for us. They used a bosun chair to do the job. STAR also repaired and replaced bricks which were in disrepair, on the third level deck. Their workmanship was excellent. Peter and Voytek are very professional and knowledgeable. STAR communicated very clearly with us about their suggestions and plans."

"We moved into a newer home that was just about 10 years old but had issues with major ice damming and icicles due to heavy snow. This led to water damage inside of the house as the ice was melting and making its way inside our home. I had multiple quotes from several roofing outfits and they just eyeballed the situation and wanted to simply re-do the flashing. Most did the assessment from the street without going on the roof. None offered a guarantee. I came across Swistun on the net and found that they required a fee to assess the issue. I was a bit hesitant but went ahead anyways and i am very glad i did. The owner Casey came out and spent time not only on the roof but also inside of the attic to see what the cause might be. An assessment was made and a very detailed and illustrated solution/proposal was created with several options including ones with guaranteed no-leak options. Construction was done last summer and Casey was there for the majority of the work done. His crews were on time and kept the grounds clean. It was completed within the time frame since weather cooperated with us. He also took care of a gutter leak for free while he had his crew out. Everything looked great in the end as he had to do some construction to widen an exit of my roof valley to provide better drainage. After completion, Casey even stopped by after a heavy rain just to make sure things were draining correctly and made some adjustments to correct a potential issue. Mind you, this was after i paid the bill so it wasn't something i was expecting as a followup. You can tell he has a passion for problem solving. The big test was the following winter. Even after the early winter snowstorm that dropped an incredible amount of snow in a short period of time, the icicles and ice dams never formed. The solution worked brilliantly well! Also on a side note, the process was very easy throughout the entire project as Lori is the main contact person in his office and is very easy to communicate with. Casey is also very responsive. Wish all companies worked in this manner! I wouldn't consider them a bargain comparing to a regular roofer. However, if you want your roof leak situation fixed correctly, this is the way to do it! Swistun is a class act from start to finish!"

"We remodeled our master bath and dressing room, which included replacing an 84” vanity and sink, updating tub/shower, installing new tub and toilet, installing new tile flooring, and painting bath, dressing room, master bedroom and closets. While Marek Matisse, the person doing the work showed up every day, his work was subpar and he was not respectful of our home and furnishings. He wasn’t always prepared to work because he didn’t bring equipment he needed. He was constantly borrowing tools, not always returned. He needed a work light one day, and decided to use a brand new $750 lamp with a fabric shade. He didn’t ask to use it. I only realized it when he complained that it didn’t have bulbs in it. He also very badly scratched our cherry dresser, leaving a very deep gouge. The work did not start well when I wanted to keep a 4’x7’ vanity mirror to reinstall on our bedroom wall. Project manager Mike Rosseland and Marek both told me it couldn’t be removed without breaking it. Interestingly, they just happened to remove it when I was not scheduled to be home. Fortunately, I returned early to find a glass truck in my garage and Marek and another man removing my intact mirror to the truck. They refused to bring the mirror back up, saying it would break. In other words, if they couldn’t take it, they would make sure that we could no longer use it. It will cost us at least $1000 to replace that mirror. Vanity outlets were added and replaced with GFI. Unfortunately, they were not properly located and are not to code. We installed a mosaic tile border in the shower and vanity backsplash. The tiles were not installed evenly in several places and grout lines therefore do not match. Very shoddy. We installed special order tile and Mike Rosseland, the project manager, didn’t want to determine the amount we needed. As he told me, “We just order a bunch of tile and take back what we don’t use.” Returning unused tile was not an option as it was all special order, and Mike understood that very well. And the tile was expensive. Still, Mike apparently doesn’t know how to do math. I spent an entire afternoon measuring and calculating the amount of tile, and included an additional 20% as Mike recommended for cuts, etc. We agreed on the amount of tile to be ordered, however Mike still ordered boxes more tile than we needed and agreed to. He then very generously offered to take the excess off of my hands, but only if he didn’t have to pay me for it. We still have boxes of unused tile. The painting that was supposed to be done was incomplete. The walls, ceiling and 2 doors were painted, but the closets and trim were not. The trim paint that we paid for also disappeared. We had several issues at the end that we waited at least months for them to address. It wasn’t until the closet rod pulled out of the wall that Mike responded. These above issues, as well as severely yellowed tub caulk, were not resolved. The closet wall was patched and the wall repainted, which was when we learned that the closets had not been painted. When Mike finally responded 6 months later after repeated calls, he insisted that the door and trim paint were the same (they definitely are not) and that the closets had been painted."

FAQs for roofing installation & roof repair projects in Glencoe, IL

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.
