"We had contacted Stolzfus Roofing late last year to be placed on their list for first thing in the spring.  They called us promptly at the end of winter and scheduled a time that they could come out to do the roof.  The workmen were very polite, worked hard, and were very cognizant to have a safe environment since it was a commercial property with people walking in/out of the building during the roof replacement.  It took three days for the work to be completed, and it looks great.  We are very satisfied with the overall experience of working with them, and the quality of work they provide.  Would definitely recommend again. <br />"

"The job went flawlessly. We had already had M&W replace 2 roofs and do one siding/front door job before calling recently about doing this roof replacement job about 100 miles from their shop. The previous jobs had gone so well, we did not want to take a chance on a new company. We called and they were willing to travel to do the work. M&W installed 17 sheets of plywood, heavy 130-mph resistant shingles and large K-6 gutters on our home. They also found some shoddy repair work which had been done previously over our porch. A leaky roof had been repaired by the addition of a membrane over the existing roof and they found water between the layers. M&W removed all this material down to the studs and replace the plywood over the porch before installing the new roof. The whole job took two days to finish as they worked from 8-am until dark (Approx 8-pm) both days. They put down tarps to catch the debris from the old roof and leave your yard without a trace of their presence. Chad, Mark and Ellie have been very easy to deal with, very punctual, polite and we are so impressed with the work ethic! We would recommend M&W to any family members or friends and feel good about doing it."

"We had Economic Roofing to replace our roof and fix our leaking chimney last week. Patrick did a very detailed inspection on our chimney and roof with detailed pictures. He explained what needs to be done and showed damaged areas of our roof and chimney, and he gave estimated cost. Then I received a detailed written quote from John. He also stopped by and explained the worst and better case about the repairs. First they fixed my rusting chimney. They completely sanded and re-painted with high heat paint. After a week they replaced my entire roof. Damaged boards are replaced, vents are replaced. They did a really clean job they cleaned all fallen asphalt shingles. They also deal with association and township approvals. Patrick and John came in and inspected and showed all the pictures before and after. They are ON-TIME responsive and their prices are very reasonable. I highly recommend Economic Roofing company"

"A. Parker did a fantastic job! It started with Al being here here on time for the estimate. He is very knowledgeable and was able to communicate well even though I have no aptitude for this kind of thing. Al and his son were also over here periodically to oversee the job and answer any questions I had. The crew also was on time, respectful, hard-working, and skilled, plus they cleaned everything up when they were done. The roof, skylights, and gutters look great!"

"Great! I was really pleased they did not suggest a new roof immediately, but instead fixed the issues and told me I had about five more years til I needed a new roof. Very honest contractors!"

FAQs for roofing installation & roof repair projects in Hockessin, DE

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.
