"Gunner Roofing We used Gunner to replace shingles. They told us that if we upgraded the skylight to one that is solar powered we would get a tax credit of 30% of the entire job, a savings of over $2000. We weren't planning to replace the skylight but the numbers made sense. When we filed our taxes for that year we learned that the skylight they used did NOT qualify for the tax credit. They mislead us to spending an extra $2,500 on the job. When I called to complain I left a message but no one ever returned my call. This is after they didn't do a good job on the roof and it took them months to come back and fix the leaks they caused. STAY AWAY!! Show less"

"We were extremely pleased with the entire process of having a new roof installed. Ron was very pleasant and promptly came to our house. He gave us a very fair estimate, from which he later subtracted the promised discount for mentioning Angie's List. His crew was prompt, pleasant, and professional. They worked steadily and cleaned up the surroundings not only after the first day, but after the second and final day. Everything was done to our satisfaction. We would highly recommend the company."

"We are entirely pleased with the metal roofs Dylan and his crew put on our house and garage and with the great care they took keeping the yard clean both during the workday and after. The financial arrangements were clearly explained. We were pleased enough to recommend Richter Roofing to our son and daughter-in-law, who need exterior work on their house. "

"-9/30/22 contacted new horizon about having a leaking roof. -10/4/22 work was done, paid upon completion. -next rain roof kept leaking, called new horizon they responded and did more work. - after a relatively short rain, water kept coming in worst than before, -11/11/22 there was a major rain storm i needed to use a bucket to contain the water, called them and i was told that they were to busy and could not respond for a few days. weather got worst got snow on the roof i had no choice but to contact another roofing company they responded that very same day had to remove the snow and flame dry the media (shingles) before doing the repair. I contacted horizon roofing and talked to them about having another company redo the work to contain the leak. I asked them for some money back (not all) but they refused to deal in good faith."

"I was contacted by modern windows stating that I “won” $500 off. Their practices in setting up the estimate were questionable. They asked me multiple times if my husband would be present for the estimate and insisted that he needed to be there. I explained that this is difficult as we both work full time and my husband is in school full time. We also have a 2 year old. They insisted it couldn’t be just me and my husband had to be there even though I am the co owner of our home. I was able to find a time that would work for us but then was told in order to receive the estimate we would have to sit through a “presentation”. I asked how long this would take and they said at least an hour. This seems excessive to get an estimate for some windows. I denied the estimate and presentation and will be looking elsewhere."

FAQs for roofing installation & roof repair projects in Jamestown, NY

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.
