"Des Moines Area Roofing was professional, trustworthy, and demonstrated excellent attention to detail from initial contact to job completion. Cleanup was so thorough that the next day you wouldn't even know that such a major project had taken place. It has been 2 weeks since the new roofs and we haven't seen even one stray nail left behind (and they did a complete tear down to both buildings, right down to the wood). An excellent company with which to do business. I offer my highest possible recommendation."

"I received several quotes from several companies, but I ultimately decided on Ludwig Roofing for several reasons: <br /> The first thing I did before receiving quotes was contact the roofing supplier in Des Moines and ask for recommendations from the supply company. The supplier recommended 3-4 companies and Ludwig was one that he mentioned because Ludwig has been roofing in Des Moines for a long time. Ludwig was also highly recommended on BBB and Angie's List. Every company that I get a quote from must have a decent review on BBB and Angie's List. <br /> After receiving the quote, Ludwig was right in the middle of all the others. Having an uncle that is a roofer in another city, I knew about what my roof should cost, and Ludwig gave me exactly what I thought it would be. Im not the type of person that is going to accept the cheapest quote and I am definitely not going to accept the most expensive. I like the middle and thats what Ludwig gave me. <br /> One thing that was another concern for me was the satellite that I had on my roof. With no extra charge, Ludwig had a satellite guy come reinstall and realign my dish after the new roof was put on. Ludwig even came out one week later to make sure the satellite was properly screwed in and waterproofed so that I would have no leaks from the satellite installation. <br /> All-in-all, I had an excellent experience with Ludwig roofing, and I would recommend them to anyone looking for a new roof. My two-story house took one day for them to finish."

"Mike and his crew did a awesome job at our house. From the get go Mike was in contact letting me know when he thought materials would arrive and trying to line up a start day for his crew. I wasn’t able to be there the first couple days so Mike took pics and sent them to me to stay in the loop. Any further damage or weird things found we discussed and came up with a plan together. The crew was super polite and easy to talk to. They brought their own trailer to haul off debris and made sure to clean up daily. I would highly recommend these guys!"

"I was very pleased with the work Judd Penny and his crew did on our house. His assessment of problems included addressing original construction flaws as well as fixing more recent inadequate roof repair work done by another contractor. Judd's familiarity with and appreciation of old house "character" was evident when he first came over to look at the job and weighed heavily in the decision to choose Mid-States for our restoration project. The work was completed for the quoted price, accommodating a number of "surprises" along the way that inevitably arise with work on old houses, like those mentioned in other reviews. Our job took longer than initially projected but to me that just seems to be the nature of the beast. Alternatives and options were clearly explained throughout the process, when decisions needed to be made to complete repairs needed but still keep within budget. I do not hesitate to recommend contacting Mid-States for home maintenance and improvements work. We will be using their services again."

"We had used Roofsmart to do the siding on our new workshop and was so pleased with the work we contacted Grant about doing the repair work. He helped us assess the work needed to repair the damage. Grant made sure all the materials needed where there. Caesar did all the repair work in one day and it looks great. Caesar is a real craftsman. Thank you. We have used your services twice and have been pleased with the outcome both times!"

"The crew was nice. Work seemed to go well until the internet quit working. They could not seem to get it working again. The owner said he would gladly pay for the internet provider to come out and fix the equipment on the new roof. Once we received the bill we contacted him by phone with him promising to come out. We contacted him again, same promise. He finally quit answering calls from our number. Called from another number, he answered, promised to be out that week. We mailed him a copy of the bill, we emailed him a copy of the bill and went as far as finding his crew and speaking with the foreman who promised Mr. Valdez would call the next day. We can only assume he never had any intention of reimbursing us for this expense after at least a dozen different forms of attempted contact."

FAQs for roofing installation & roof repair projects in Indianola, IA

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.
