"Steve gave prompt estimate and completed the work on schedule, with excellent results. We are very pleased with the appearance and the installation of two "Whirlybird " ventilators. Because Steve did all of the work himself, it took a few days, but the roof was always weather-tight at the end of each work day."

"Gerry and his crew far exceeded my expectations since their bid was about $7,500 lower than the average of the other three bids I received. The crew worked very efficiently, took great care in cleaning up, and did a fabulous job. Gerry was onsite frequently to answer any questions and ensure the quality of the work. I would highly recommend Gerry and Save-On Construction."

"I couldn’t be happier with CML Roofing! They replaced my roof, repaired some window sills, and gave my home a fresh exterior paint job. Their team was professional, efficient, and showed great attention to detail. The work was done on schedule, and they left everything clean and tidy. My house looks fantastic and feels like new! Highly recommend CML for anyone looking for top-notch, reliable service."

"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."

"He took pictures of both pipes and showed us the cracking around the base of the pipe. It was nice to see it on his phone. The previous person who supposedly fixed it did not do it correctly. After giving us a price he went out and got the parts and repaired it the same day. He also showed us pictures of the repair. Very polite. We would definitely call them again."

"I don't give 5/5 stars on a review often, but I was extremely impressed with the work LR Higgins did on a water damage project on my house and would not hesitate to hire them again. Dean was our project manager and did an excellent job. We had damage internally from water that had seeped behind our siding which resulted in deck rot (because flashing wasn't previously applied correctly) and internal wall damage in the basement. The 3-man team that worked on the project was detail-oriented and focused on doing the job "right" rather than doing it quickly (which I greatly appreciated) but also did their best to make the exterior work blend and match the rest of the siding so it would not stand out like a sore thumb. The cost was reasonable for the work done and I felt like the work was high quality. I had unsuccessfully contacted 3 other companies for estimates before contacting LR Higgins and either wouldn't get my calls returned or they didn't show up for the estimate. Eric Higgins was very responsive via email, called me back after I left my first message about the issue, and I was in contact with him via email several times during the project. He always responded. I would definitely recommend this contractor group and use them again for work on my house."

FAQs for roofing installation & roof repair projects in Kittery, 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.
