"In September of 2018, our 100+ year old original tin-shingled roof (finally) failed in multiple places on our Seaford home. Particularly troubling since it seems like we all live in a tropical rain forest of late. Not knowing where to begin, I posted an inquiry for “good roofers” on the Next Door app and received numerous helpful recommendations very quickly. I contacted and/or received estimates from five of these roofers and decided upon Yarkey Roofing. Mike Yarkey answered the phone when I called. He immediately satellite-googled our home and was able to begin scoping the project just by viewing those images and asking pointed questions. He understood our desires for wanting to remain true to the home’s century-old visage and was sympathetic to my anxiety from realizing we would need to remove the beautiful pressed tin shingled roof and start over. Mike provided numerous options. We finally agreed on using a high end “Old World” style GAF 50 year shingle on our main roof with copper flashing and valleys; and a copper raised seam roof on the wrap-around porch. I could not be more pleased! Mike’s crew was on time, pleasant, polite, respectful of our property, and had all tin shingles removed by Noon on the first day! Our roof has a 12x12 pitch and quite a bit of square footage so it is not a small feat, nor an easy roof to navigate. The main roof was done in three days, and the porch roof water tight in preparation for the copper panels. Mike’s copper artist, Chad, spent about a week and a half installing the beautiful copper panels and flashing on the porch roof. All of Mike’s team have an A+ work ethic; they arrive early, work all day (never saw them breaking for anything and I work from home!), and took extra care of our property and cleaned up every day. I highly recommend Yarkey Roofing. I work in Facilities Management and he and his crew are Best In Class as far as I’m concerned. Bravo!"

"Miguel and Carolina are the absolute BEST! I have never had such a perfect paint job. They use the best quality paint, always on time and finished the job within the timeline. Every day they cleaned up and were extremely organized. They also had the best price! I will only use this company moving forward for my repairs. Great job Miguel and Carolina!"

"The owner came to our house, gave a thorough look at our roof, and gave us the lowest estimate we'd had, even using the best materials.  They showed up on time, did a nice job, and cleaned up well.  Highly recommended! <br />"

"They removed the old shingles on our 4800 sq. ft. roof and replaced them with high-quality, 30-year, architectural shingles and a new synthetic paper backing. Additionally, they installed a new ridge venting system, as well as new 6" gutters and downspouts, that were cut to length on site. They replaced rotten wood where it was necessary too and had the lowest cost per sheet of plywood of any of the vendors that we had solicited. They worked fast and clean, systematically completing all of the work in three days. We wholeheartedly recommend this company."

"Install went well and looks good. No leaks since it was installed! Some of the gutters around the roof weren't put back to our satisfaction, but as soon as I notified the company, they sent a crew over that same day to fix them up. All looks really good now. My only complaint was it took longer than anticipated to get on their work schedule after I approved the estimate. I had to follow up a few times after approving the estimate to get a work schedule date. Otherwise I thought their customer service and install was very good."

"I originally found Steve via Angie's List and he has done several jobs for me; all on time and at a reasonable cost. However, when my roof began leaking after this winter's heavy snows, Steve really outdid himself. <br /> He came out, looked at the roof and then met with my insurance company to determine the optimal solution which ultimately meant replacing every board and all the shingles. <br /> To work around my schedule, he brought in two crews to finish the job faster in a single day. Even the Insurance Adjuster who was there told me he was impressed with Steve. <br /> Steve felt so strongly about the benefit of architectural shingles, that when I made the decision against them because of the extra cost (that the insurance would not pay for) Steve said he would pay the difference if that?s what it took. And he did. How?s that for putting the customer first? <br /> I will definitely use Steve for other jobs. He is excellent, and honest. What else could you ask for?"

FAQs for roofing installation & roof repair projects in Gloucester, VA

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.
