"Jake and Josh are top-notch. We had a rusty metal roof on our old garage that we just updated. They did an amazing job, were there when promised and did the work on our roofs. Refinished the metal roof and checked over our house roof, making several repairs. We would recommend them to any of our family/friends that need roof work."

"I was thoroughly satisfied with the work that Arctic Roofing did on my home. From my initial interaction to completion of the roof, Norm and his crew were extremely professional and responsive. Norm inspected my roof using drone photography and provided a prompt and accurate estimate. The work done by his professional crew was superb. One of the things I was most impressed by was the level of outstanding customer service I received which is not always typical in working with contractors. I highly recommend Arctic Roofing."

"Excellently.  He showed up to do the estimate at the time and date he said he would.  He followed up with status when he said he would.  He reconfirmed a few days before starting the work and completed the work within the estimated time and at the estimated price.  His crew and he did an excellent job, and a neighbor requested that Brian do his house as well.  His crew were professional and mature workers.  We plan to use him on another house within our family within the next year or so. <br />"

"I called for an estimate and they came almost immediately. We had a rough idea when work would start, but this was delayed for a short time due to uncooperating weather. Once the big day came, they arrived early and started up right away. I have 8 skylights (some needing repair), and they corrected all problems. The crew even accommodated work for a previously scheduled tree service company. My satellite dish was disconnected for a short time, but they made sure it was reconnected quickly; and I was not without service. Once the job was finished, there was no shingles, debris, nothing remaining on the ground. Everything was cleaned up perfectly. <br />"

"<p>Coleman and Andrew were outstanding to work with. They were very professional and responsive while I was finalizing the claim and scoping the work. They took the time to explain all the materials so I could make a well informed choice. The work began on schedule. The roof itself was done in one day and it looks good. The remaining work required a few weeks. I greatly appreciated that they took the time to do the fascia, soffits, vents, and gutters just right. They did not cover any bad wood and made sure any needed repairs were identified and addressed. All the materials used were of good quality and superior to what was on the house before the work. The work looks great.  </p> <p>The workers were polite and professional. They cleaned up the work space each day and regularly checked-in with me to make sure the work was to my satisfaction. They even made sure my old security lights were working (which they were not before the work started) and installed a new security light fixture as part of the work (I purchased the fixture).</p> <p>I will definitely work with First Class again for other home improvement needs.</p>"

"Mr. Haas identified problems in our roof installation and issued a report. He suggested re-install and steps that we should take to get it done. It was a long process that involved county and DPOR. Mr. Haas was very helpful every step during the entire process. He is highly experienced and very responsive to our calls, text, and email. We eventually got the roof reinstalled in a very good quality. Mr. Haas was onsite multiple times to ensure the right materials and methods were used. It would not be possible without the help from Mr. Haas."

FAQs for roofing installation & roof repair projects in Jay, ME

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.
