"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 perfect, on time as promised, done in 2 days, and when finished you could not tell anyone had just installed a new roof. Complete cleanup. I am very happy with A Parker and would not hesitate to hire them again for any major home improvement project."

"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"

"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."

"Gunner Roofing has an excellent team that completed my house siding project. As certified installers of James Hardie, they were professional from start to finish! Andrew was extremely knowledgeable of the product and created a spectacular design and assisted w/ the financing of my project. He was always available to answer all questions. The Project Manager Anthony communicated daily with project updates and was extremely responsive to questions and addressed all concerns in a timely manner. The workers were exceptional as they always arrived early and worked late to ensure completion of the work. Really appreciated their attention to detail! I highly recommend this company!"

"Working with HomeCraft was great! They came out quickly to give a quote, answered all our questions and were upfront about pricing. They weren't the cheapest quotes or most expensive quote, but their reputation and customer recommendations is what made us pick them. My day of install went smoothly, the team arrived promptly at 7am and completed my roof the same day. The team was kind, respectful and hard workers. The install team works really well together and was respectful of my landscaping and property. The clean-up crew was amazing!! They made sure there was no debris left behind and scanned the yard (front and back) for any potential nails. In all honesty we only found one nail they missed. They were amazing!!! The clean up crew actually came back after the dumpster was removed a to ensure there were no nails in the street! The project went exactly how Elliot said it would, teams arrives, does the tear off, roof inspection, plywood replacement (if any - we had 5 boards), roofing delivered, dumpster delivered, clean up, dumpster removed. We highly recommend using HomeCraft!"

"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.
