"Everything we expected and more.  Replaced the hangers for the gutters with hidden hangers and added two roof vents in garage roof at no extra cost.  Hardest working team I have seen in a long time.  Clean up was continuous.  I was especially impressed that even though one worker was on cleanup the entire time as the others finished their jobs they not only pitched in on clean up, they made it fun!!  Great job! <br />"

"Calls were returned promptly.  A fee is charged for an estimate.  If you proceed with the estimated repairs, the estimate is credited against the total charges for the repairs.  The work was scheduled for a specific date and time and was completed exactly as promised.  The roof was shingled in 2001 and EJS found the exact shingles used so that the repair is entirely invisible.  The source of the leak turned out to be improper initial installation of the shingles around the vent stack by another roofing company.  All the interactions with EJS were professional and they let me know they stand behind the work they have done.  I would use this company again because of their obvious expertise, skill, dependability and courtesy. <br />"

"Steve and his employees did an excellent job of repairing my roof.   <br /> Before I awarded the job to River City Roofing, Steve explained exactly what he was going to do and when he thought he could do it.  He is professional and courteous and did everything he said he was going to do, plus a few extra things to make sure other areas of the roof were not compromised. <br /> One thing really stood out when dealing with this company.  Steve communicates very well and if he said he was going to call me, he would call me.  Contractors have a reputation of being very difficult to get ahold of and keep you informed.  Steve did a very good job of this and always let me know if there was a problem or an issue.  He started the job exactly as he said he would. <br /> I am very happy with the work he performed and I would encourage anyone who is considering hiring him to do so. <br />"

"The workers were on time and each day they made sure that the area around the house was cleaned up.They did some repair on my chimney which turned out better than I expected. Chad did a wonderful job explaining what needed and not needed to be done. He was always available when I had questions . I would recommend them to anyone needing any roof repairs."

"We purchased a roof inspection through Angie's Big Deal. They came to perform the inspection and I believe did a good and thorough job. They were friendly and had good advice. The problem I encountered was trying to schedule the appointment as they were difficult to get a hold of. <br />"

"This is the second time we've used Mainsteam Home Improvement to replace original windows in our house. Several years ago, they replaced half of our windows. This year, when we decided to replace the remaining 5 windows, they were our first call. The windows work effortlessly and look great! They were professionally installed and the staff was great to work with on this project."

"Suburban was very busy, so once the windows came in they had to push back the install date a couple of days.  That was no big deal as I understand how construction works.  One window came in and the manufacture had built in incorrectly, so the installer had to put the old window back in and re-order the window.  All the windows are in, they look and work great!  Suburban stayed in constant contact about the delays and the re-ordering of the wrong sized window.  The installer Mike went above and beyond to make sure the windows were put in correctly and looked good from both the inside and the outside.  I definitely would use Suburban again.  The gutter replacement was fast, and done very well as well.  I could not be happier with these projects.  Thanks Mike, Bob, and Darrin. <br />"

"Our "only" negative comment about Ground Zero Shelters is that they do not come to a persons residence to give the sales pitch and demonstration. You must go to their showroom or see their product at a home show. This being said, we were extremely happy with the sales experience, reminders and installation of our shelter. They called about 10 days prior to the installation for a reminder, their installers called the day before and the morning of the installation to remind us that they would be at our home at the designated time. They showed up as promised and were completed with the installation in less than 1 1/2 hours time! Thank you Ground Zero!"

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