"So far so good. Our roof gave up the ghost earlier than planned (major leak in family room). Jeremiah and the folk at Moore and Sons gave us a prompt estimate and were able to complete the work in less than a day before winter set in. Looks great. Minimal debris left behind (their vacuum even got a lot of our leaves!). Recommended."

"Easily and thoroughly completed putting sealant on aluminum roof seams to stop water coming and running down inside walls of three season porch. Arrived promptly, very pleasant. He mentioned that being an older porch it may need treatment again in a few years. I will certainly call upon them again."

"Hiring Melvin Belk Roofing to do my gutters was a great decision. The gutters look great and they were professional during the whole process, especially Andrew Belk. There was just something about him that made me comfortable. He came out and gave me an accurate quote when estimating the job. Andrew and his crew were knowledgeable, timely, and did a great job. I would recommend Melvin Belk Roofing to anyone in need of roofing, siding or gutters."

"I contacted Above Roofing at the beginning of April 2016.  Robert showed up exactly on time, and was very professional.  The estimate process actually began inside the house up in the attic.  Robert was checking for ventilation and the condition of the wood decking.  Above Roofing was the only contractor to do this (very impressed).  Robert then spent a good 45 minutes on the roof going over everything with a fine tooth comb.  Please note, that only half of the contractors we had out got on the roof.  In my opinion how can a contractor provide a good estimate if they don't do a complete inspection.  Needless to say, those contractors were immediately cut.  Robert found some flashing issues along with why we had wood rot next to the gutter.  The gutter was cut too short when it was installed 18 years ago.  Robert gave me an estimate on the spot and spent a good deal of time discussing his company's process for installation.  Again I was very impressed and it was evident that this is a company that takes a great deal of pride in their work.  This is exactly what I was looking for considering that I'm not on the roof, and honestly would have no idea what I was looking at anyway.  I will say that Above Roofing is not the cheapest path to go, however, you get what you pay for.  Plus the last thing I wanted was to have a leak...by that time it's way too late.  Additionally, Robert told me that the job could take up to 3 days.  He was the only contractor to tell me this....the other ones told me one day.  Again, what's another 2 days to ensure a quality job.  Furthermore, Robert was setting expectations up front which I appreciated. <br>On the day of the job, the crew showed up on time and got right to work.  We had some weather in the area, so they only worked for one day (about 40% of the job was complete).  However, Above Roofing is methodical and they make sure the house is weather proof before leaving the site.  The crew returned on Monday, and had the job done by the end of the day.  Very well done plus their clean up process is very thorough.  I didn't find one nail in the landscaping, but that wasn't surprising given how careful they were around the plants.  The only time I found nails was after the dumpster was removed.  However, these were under the dumpster...I wouldn't expect the crew to find those any way.  Robert came back out to walk the property with me one last time, and he found a few areas that didn't meet his standards (did I mention his standards are very high).  A small crew was out the next day, and they wrapped up quickly.  Overall, I am very pleased with Robert and the Above Roofing team.  As I mentioned before, they are not the cheapest operation but I'm impressed with the quality.  I've recommended them to all my neighbors, and my next door neighbor used them as well. <br> <br>"

"We have an addition on a Ranch house that used a rubber membrane in the valleys of connecting roof lines. We had interior wall damage due to leaking. My story is about what happened when things went wrong. The night after the repair was done, it rained. We had a new leak in a new area....the kitchen. Needless to say I was very distraught. I called Great Lakes at 1147 am on a SUNDAY. They had a team back at my house in under 2 hours. We are at least 1 hour away from them. So that was impressive. While the team was on my roof the project manager came out as well. It was determined that the leak was from a skylight that was above the area we had contracted to repair. No questions, no dinking around. They got supplies and fixed it anyway! Since repairs we are nice and dry. I can not say how wonderful this company performs. I chose them off Angies list because of tbere rating. If you have ever been dissapointed in a repair or builders in the past like I have been, you can trust this company. That is not something I say lightly. This company will do it right the first time, and if something unforeseable happens, they will take care of you like family."

"I phoned them regarding snow removal and they were in my neighborhood already, so they came the same day. I was very impressed with their work, and that they followed all my instructions perfectly. I was very satisfied with their service and will definitely phone them again when roof work is needed. <br />"

FAQs for roofing installation & roof repair projects in Kent City, MI

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.
