"Exceptional. Shingles Now came out quickly to inspect and repair a roof leak. I was very pleased with how courteous, professional, and affordable they were. They replaced a few roofs for some family members recently, and those jobs were also flawless. Highly recommend if you want quality and integrity."

"Roof repair was done as expected. The gutter repair was an issue due to the original quote did not include some repair work that needed prior to the gutter replacement. Weather and time delay was a factor, but the job was finally completed. Darrell and his team made sure the job was completed and the work was very professionally done. Everyone that came to work on the job was friendly and professional."

"During a recent Hail Storm, our roof was damaged. I had inadvertently bumped into MD's project manager and asked for a roof inspection. Sure enough, our roof had incurred major damage. Rich Gentile our Project Manager, explained how to proceed with our claim. His patience and know-how from start to finish were exemplary. Installation to clean-up went off without a hitch. There's a reason MD Roofing is Five Stars. Honesty and Integrity still go a long way in this world. If you need a new roof, don't hesitate to call MD Roofing, you will not regret it."

"Ron came out to give an estimate within a couple days of contacting Atlantic. I had contacted 3 other companies. One refused to do repairs at this time, one never showed up to provide my requested estimate nor did they bother getting in contact and the third never responded period. The roofers that came out were polite and professional. They were a little over estimate but as long as my roof is good to go I can live with the $200. Increase due to more damage than expected."

"I had a roof leak from somewhere on the 2nd floor that poured into my kitchen window (and hardwood floors) when there was a recent heavy rain. I selected Thomas Humphries of Dr. Roofs due to his great reviews on Angie's List. Thomas answered my call immediately and he was able to schedule to come out within 2 days. He first caulked some places that could have been the source of the issue. Then he performed a water test by getting my hose and simulating a downpour. He then saw the general location of where additional water could come in even though there was no visual sign of an issue. Thomas came the following day with the material he needed to fix the issue and did in a few minutes. He felt confident that would take care of the issue. Sure enough, a few days later there was a tremendous downpour and NO WATER inside the house. What a relief! I would definitely use him again and recommend him based on my experience."

FAQs for roofing installation & roof repair projects in Columbia, SC

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.
