"Because of my roof leaking the schedule date was moved up 2 weeks. The repair man called ahead to let me know he was coming and when to expect him. Explained what he had to do and what he was finding as he was making the repairs. Very pleasant and professional service. i will be using them to replace my roof in several years."

"Gunner Roofing recently installed a new roof on my house. They did an excellent job. They were very professional and prompt. Immediately after I selected them for the job, they did not waste any time getting the proper permits. Also, a week before they started my job, my area had a severe wind and rainstorm. Gunner did not waste any time coming over and placing a tarp on my roof so that no further damage could take place. The person who supervised the job was always very pleasant, courteous, and professional whenever I spoke with him. Gunner was also very competitive in their pricing. In addition, towards the end of my job, I realized that I had not included the shed on my property in their original estimate. But this was not a problem. Gunner wasted no time in getting the extra material needed in order to replace the roof on the shed, they were also very clean. They did not leave any debris behind. I highly recommend Gunner Roofing for your roofing needs."

"The roof itself appears to be well done. Cleaning on the inside of the building was horrible. Nails and boards all over the place. I found nails outside as well. Outside the huge holes in the lawn from their lift. I spent 25K on the job and expected more."

"B & E Roofing completed the removal and replacement of my 2500 sq ft roof in a single day, using our <br /> preferred shingles and perforated ?Deck Armor? underlayment.  The five-man crew was polite and careful to <br /> wear booties inside the house.  B & E?s Roofer Buggy was very impressive to watch.  <br /> It received the old roofing materials easily, as its hydraulic mechanism positioned it immediately under the eaves.  <br /> When finished, the Buggy was withdrawn, and the contents were deposited into a waiting dump truck. The shingles were delivered by a hydraulic arm directly to the roof with great efficiency, allowing the front roof section to be shingled while the <br /> back section was being stripped.  <br /> Although my home is 50 years old, the chimney flashing has never been satisfactory. They fixed this by fashioning a ?cricket? triangle that directs the flow of water around the chimney.  I tested it with a hose at full flow, and it managed the extra water easily.  <br /> They even made an extra trip to remove any remaining debris and nails. <br /> I can highly recommend B & E for Angie?s members.  They are efficient and up-to-date,  providing a great value to <br /> their customers. <br /> <br /> <br />"

FAQs for roofing installation & roof repair projects in Harrisburg, PA

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.
