"Elieff Brothers Roofing is more than Awesome, They Rocked this projected. From start to finish roofing my home was seamless. Everyone was very pleasant and took the time to answer my questions. I was never left in the dark about what was going to be done and when it was going to be done, they were in contact with me every step of the way. I could not be happier with my new roof as we did the final walk round. I appreciate everyone that made this project happen. Anytime someone asks me for who I would recommend, the answer will be: Elieff Brothers Roofing."

"Al was very informative regarding my botched roof from a previous "roofer", and was great to work with. I eventually needed to replace my deck also due to safety issues, so I contacted Al again. Once my deck installation began, I was thrilled to see the results! His staff Chase and Aaron were professional and personable, very respectful and insightful of my requests. Al and his staff are great people to work with. I would definitely hire him and his crew again for any upcoming home improvement projects that I have. Thanks Al and Erika!!!"

"Great job well executed. These are very high quality professionals capable of diagnosing root causes of your problem, digging out the construction code and educating you on the right thing to do. You can hire cheaper handyman/chimney guys and get a recurring problem or you can hire these licensed professionals and take care of things the right way. Wish I had never used anyone else!"

"They were very patient with my window selection. I tend to research things online before buying them, and they got several different sample windows for me to look at and touch before I chose. The work was done promptly and well. They answered all my questions. I would definitely use them again. The only thing they could improve on is picking up the aluminum nails around the house. I've been finding one here and there since the snow melted. <br />"

"Brad was extremely helpful and courteous with helping me get the right materials ahead of time for this project. The entire project took only 3 days and came out beautifully. Workmanship is wonderful, clean up during and at the end of the project was outstanding. He, his wife and daughter are the only employees that worked on this job, no subs or outside contractors were used. I would definitely recommend and use them again."

"The shingles on our house were a disaster. Dan Jr. gave us a very reasonable quote and described all the work that would need to be performed. Most companies were quoting 3 days to complete the job but Dan Jr. promised 1 day. They scheduled me in immediately and had a crew of 10 on site, on time and ready to go. The new roof looks incredible and no debris was left behind. They were all very professional and conscientious. Excellent Job! <br />"

"I love these guys. Not only top work, but they also repaired some loose siding and made other minor repairs not related to roofing. (They didn't tell me, I just noticed.) And the price was the best! No fancy truck or sales presentations, just the work you need done at a price you can afford. My experience could not be better. <br />"

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