"Great job well executed. These are very high quality professionals capable of diagnosing root causes of your problem, digging out the construction code and educating you on the right thing to do. You can hire cheaper handyman/chimney guys and get a recurring problem or you can hire these licensed professionals and take care of things the right way. Wish I had never used anyone else!"

"I hired Story to make repairs to a section of my roof. They came right out and gave a detailed description of the repairs needed and provided an reasonable quote. The workers arrived when they said they would and cleaned up thoroughly when finished. Everyone in the company was a pleasure to work with."

"This is a brief account of the re-roofing project that R.D. Kleinschmidt, Inc. had carried out for us in July 2013. At each stage of <br /> the work – pre-project, project itself, and post-project – they did an amazing job, and we are happy to recommend this company to anyone looking for roof replacement. Below are a few specifics. <br /> Pre-project: <br /> We are very particular with the appearance of our roof and asked the company representative, Devin Stace, to work with us on selecting the color and texture of the shingles. He met with us on at least five occasions, each time bringing new products. On several occasions, he had to drive relatively far from Ann Arbor to procure shingles that we might be interested in. At the end of this process, the shingles have been selected, and the project began. <br /> Project: <br /> The company did an outstanding job installing the roof. To protect the pavers of our driveway and the front lawn, they downloaded the shingles on the street and hand-carried them to the roof. They nailed every shingle and placed them in an <br /> esthetically appealing manner. At the end of each work day, they cleaned up the area, so that no construction debris was in sight. <br /> Post-project: <br /> They thoroughly cleaned up the area. Not a single nail has been found around the house, either during or after the project. <br /> In conclusion, this was perhaps the most pleasant and successful home-improvement project we have had in almost 30 years. Many thanks, Devin and everyone at R.D. Kleinschmidt, Inc.! <br /> <br />"

"Very well...  Mr. Craft not only repaired the wall damage but also made repairs to the structural window framing that was previously water damaged, as well.  The window framing is now back to new and the wall repairs were perfect. <br />"

"Mr. Haas identified problems in our roof installation and issued a report. He suggested re-install and steps that we should take to get it done. It was a long process that involved county and DPOR. Mr. Haas was very helpful every step during the entire process. He is highly experienced and very responsive to our calls, text, and email. We eventually got the roof reinstalled in a very good quality. Mr. Haas was onsite multiple times to ensure the right materials and methods were used. It would not be possible without the help from Mr. Haas."

FAQs for roofing installation & roof repair projects in Hanover, 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.
