"We are really happy with our Owens Corning Duration Shingle roof installation and have received many compliments from our neighbors. Peter is very responsive and communicative. He and his crew went above and beyond to do the job right and they left our property in great shape, cleaning up all the roofing debris. I appreciate that Peter doesn’t try to sell you more products. Instead, he has your best interest in mind, as the client. For example, we were considering replacing our gutters because we wanted to change the color. Peter pointed out the gutters were in good shape and could be painted for the desired color change. His pricing is competitive."

"I had water leaking into a dining room from ice dams on the roof and I was out of town on business.  I called three different outfits I found on Angie's and Swistun was the first to answer the phone.  Initially they didn't think they could get to the job until the following day.  But, after agreeing to have them do the work for the following day, they called back about an hour later and were able to get a crew to my house within about two hours of my initial call.  Very prompt and very appreciated considering the potential water damage I was faced with.  Swistun is not cheap - I took a deep breath when I saw the final bill.  To be fair though, they were completely up front about the pricing when I called looking for help so the final bill was not a complete surprise.  They charged $180 for the first 30 minutes and $3/minute after that.  My entire job was about 1 1/2 hours.  Even at the price it was money well spent to prevent damage I would have spent even more to have repaired had the leakage continued.  Overall - good job. <br />"

"We hired Holda Construction for a new roof based on the recommendation of a friend who had a good experience with them. Great communication from Mariusz throughout the job. He kept us informed so we knew what to expect each step of the way. No high pressure sales tactics or gimmicks and he delivered on all of his promises. I was nervous about the thousands of roofing nails during the tear off but his crew did a great job cleaning up the yard at the end of each day. Thank you Mariusz for delivering an A+ experience. We will definitely do business with Mariusz/Holda again and highly recommend them to all."

"Lake Point Roofing was very attentive to detail, thorough, tidy before and after the job, and professional. I am very pleased with the results of my new roofs, and would recommend their services. In addition, my neighbor, who works with roofing contractors, watched throughout the installation process, and told me that they did an excellent job."

"I received a call from Joe within minutes of my request.  My roof had been leaking on and off in the same spot for 2 years.  I had three other roofers "repair" but the leak would still appear. Mike came out the next day and inspected the roof inside and out.  He caulked all potential leak points and said that if we had any future trouble that he would gladly come back.  It's rained several times this week and we've had no leaking, so I'm confident that all is okay.  Now I don't have to worry that my stockpots aren't out to catch the drips if I'm not home when it rains.  Thank you, Thrifty Nickel!"

"I wasn't sure what to list as a price as we've used David Lancaster's AAA Better Roof a few times over the years although our most recent contact had no charges.  So I listed a rough total of all that we've spent with his company. <br> <br>The first was when we had our Cedar Shake roof replaced in 2000 or 2001 (about $9,000 for the job).  The second was in 2013 when there were a few repairs and some other work done (about $2,500 for the job).  Most recently he came out to inspect for damage as I was concerned that a recent hail storm might have caused damage.  On the most recent job he showed my exactly what the hail did in pictures and why no replacement was needed at this time.  He noticed a couple shingles missing (normal with this type of roof over time) and made some minor replacements at no charge. <br> <br>I wasn't a member of Angie's list when the past work was done, but I am now and his most recent vist reminded me of how pleased I've been with his work including the promptness of his responses, how informative his estimates have been (photos to clearly show exact issues), and the quality of his work.  <br> <br>I would recommend AAA Roofing and would use them again for future roofing needs. <br> <br> <br>"

"W Brothers responded quickly to request for quote for complete tear-off and re-roof. John provided a very competitively priced and complete quotation. Service was scheduled and completed in one day and all communication before, during and after completion was prompt and accurate. Quality was excellent. I would highly recommend W Brothers Roofing.

"Preferred roofing & Exteriors messaged me within half hour of messaging them. Fastest of the 3 companies I messaged. Mike showed up, he was professional, very knowledgeable of what was needed to be done. He inspected my attic and roof and found the issue. He did not charge me a service fee like the other two companies were trying to do. Super cool guy. If You were to ever need anything he's your guy. Thanks Mike"

FAQs for roofing installation & roof repair projects in Highland Park, 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.
