"Went great - can't say enough about Jason and the crew. He had performed a number of repairs for me over the last couple of years and never tried to oversell me. His work is always high quality and he was quick to return my calls and punctual. He has a great personality, work ethic, and knowledge level. When some storm damage came through, he worked with the insurance adjuster and insurance covered the replacement of the roof and gutters. I left for work in the morning, and by early afternoon he was texting me pictures of the final product. I pulled up a couple hours later and aside from the gleaning new roof, there wasn't any evidence there had even been any work done. To this day, I haven't even come across a single roofing nail in my yard. Sheward seems to have all business up and down my street and I'm not exaggerating."

"Jackson contracting was thorough in their explanation to me of the scope of the work required and the problems with my roof. I had several contractors try to fix the leak, but none were successful. After my new roof, there was a small problem, but they fixed it with no questions asked and no hassles. They even checked back with me to make sure that everything was going well. They were committed to making sure that I was satisfied and that the work was done well. I would not hesitate to hire them again or recommend them to others."

"They completed a complete roof teardown and putting new shingles on in a single day.  Over the weekend more high velocity wind hit the area and they came out the next day to check and make sure everything stayed in place.  They did everything without requiring any money upfront to start or complete the work.  R&R Roofing is a true roofing company that not only does the work, they did it correctly without cutting corners to meet the insurance quote.  They also kept me informed with everything that was going on.  Truly a professional company and a great company to work with."

"Craig arrived on time and got to work quickly. Job was done professionally and he left no trace. He had to work around the installation of sod and landscaping and was happy to do so. My favorite part was he called during the first heavy rain to ask how the new gutters were performing!"

"The technician was on time and professional. He climbed up on the roof and examined it. He reported that there was no damages, but a couple of shingles needed repair. He repaired the loose shingles for no charge This service gave me great confidence in the firm. I would use them in the future."

"The owner was great.   The crew arrive late but left on time each day.  The work required two follow up repair trips - and the second trip completed the job.  I'm happy with the finished work.   They were responsive to emails and phone calls. <br />"

FAQs for roofing installation & roof repair projects in Kempton, IN

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.
