"I was not at the house when Philip came to give me the quote, but we talked several times on the phone in great detail about what what he anticipated the job needed and why. He had very comparable prices to other roofers, but he won me over on the phone by going into detail of why he hand nails and how he would redo the chimney and wall flashing. <br /> I scheduled the new roof less than a week out and he and his crew showed up on time. Hand nailing does take longer, but there is less potential for damaging the shingles or nailing into a gap in the decking because there is much more tactile feedback. Also, he always strips off all the felt, since you really don't know what the decking is going to look like until you've seen it. Several companies don't go that extra step if the felt looks good, but there is always the chance of having a bad deck board underneath a seemingly fine strip of felt. <br /> Philip concentrated on the flashing and some of the detail work while the rest of his crew of four guys worked on everything else. They would only work in sections in case the weather turned unexpectedly, that way the home was never in any real danger of water damage. It ended up taking about two and half days to complete, but probably could have been finished in two. At the end of the second day they didn't want to risk having an unfinished section with expected bad weather on the way. <br /> After the roof was done Philip called to give me an update and ask if I had any questions or concerns. <br /> All-in-all I was very pleased with every aspect. I feel like I got quite a bit of extra attention to detail for the same cost as many of the other estimates I'd received. I would not hesitate to recommend Taylor roofing to anyone in the future. <br />"

"They were very good. I've got the best price. I like the deal; the siding is good and he gave a lifetime warranty on his personal work thus he will come back and repair anything if you have any problems. He was just personable, on time, he had all the information that I needed with him. It was a pleasant estimate and I felt good after he left."

"After talking with Shane Lewis and his Foreman (Paco Chavez) I felt so comfortable with their knowledge of the issues relating to my previous repair (Continental Roofing) that I requested to replace the whole roof instead of just a repair. I was kept in the loop the whole time and any concerns were addressed. Mr Lewis has such a country nature it put me at ease and if I ever have any issues in the future he has my trust. I would recommend Lewis & Sons for anyone who has a roofing problem."

"Fitzgerald and Beck came out on a Saturday to help me stop a pouring leak in my house that has been an issue for months. Within 30 minutes they pointed to an issue that the previous company had seen and ignored. Mike Beck recommended a quick fix to sop the leaking during the rain that day and then came back as promised and implemented the final fix. They also revealed the previous company had covered up more issues than they fixed. Fitzgerald and Beck corrected the crappy work from the previous company and now my house is dry..... (We just had a flood warning in Huntsville and it POURED today 8/6/13) -- THANKS Fitzgerald and Beck! <br />"

FAQs for roofing installation & roof repair projects in Joppa, AL

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.
