"The inspector Evan was very professional. He took his time to check all areas of the home including a drone viewing of the roof and exterior. Great job and will hire again in the future if needed."

"It went especially well considering an icy winter storm was coming in. It only took them a day and half to complete the majority of the work including replacing 7 of the decking boards at a flat fee. The workers were not only professional but polite and one outright cheerful as he sang while he worked. We were happy to offer KFC for lunch; they busted their backsides to get the roof on AND thoroughly clean up after. (2000 sq. ft. steep grade built in 2002)"

"Miguel and Carolina did great on this rather large project. They were conscientious, thorough, and easy to work with. They took pains to move and protect the side of the house, the boat, grill, deck furniture, and other items we didn't want to be coated. We will definitely use GV Solutions for future jobs and highly recommend them."

"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 />"

"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."

"Excellent. Steve provided a fair quote, reviewed the roofing texture and color options, and the work was done timely and his crew was professional. The crew also spent significant time cleaning up the debris that comes with a roof replacement. I have used Steve's services for a number of years and each time everything went well. I think one reason Steve can be more cost effective is that he does not have the fancy glossy brochures and dedicated salespeople. He takes time to meet you, discuss what you need, and give you a fair quote. That's fine by me."

"Very excellent service! We live in an old home from the 1940s and installing new doors (or new anything) is challenging... big companies refused to come out and do it for us. Wheeler Brothers gave us an affordable price compared to other contractors we talked to and did an excellent job! They were meticulous, very knowledgeable, and my doors look great. I have already scheduled jobs for window installation and kitchen renovation with them. I highly recommend!"

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.
