"Jerry and the entire At Your Service team did an all around wonderful job, from dealing with the insurance to installing the roof and gutters. Everyone that was associated with the job was professional, respectful and very polite. The crews cleaned up both jobs completely. We would highly recommend them to everyone that needs a roof and/or gutters."

"I'm extremely happy with the customer service and high quality work provided by Bone Dry Roofing. They replaced my old wood soffits and fascia with metal and also replaced my gutters. The price was reasonable, the project was completed in a timely way, and they cleaned up thoroughly before leaving. From start to finish, everyone I worked with was professional and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend Bone Dry Roofing. "

"After several attempts to fix the leaks, including a new roof, chimney repairs and etc., problems still occurred. After Mr. Parker and his associates assessed the situation, they were finally able to locate the problems and fix the roof. After three years I’m relieved that the repairs worked."

"The roof had been repaired 2 years ago by another company and had been fine until the heavy and constant rain this spring. Benchmark came out quickly and put a tarp up to stop the leak until they could do a permanent fix. Their representative came out to assess the problem. He was knowledgeable and professional, and his explanation was thorough. He wrote an estimate that was very fair, and less that another company I contacted. The repair has been done and so far is holding, with no leak. A gutter guard was slightly bent and someone cam out the next day to fix it."

"It was fantastic. Ethan responded very quickly to my service call and he gave me a really fair quote on the work. The whole time I worked with Ethan, I felt that I could trust what he was telling me and that he wasn't going to try and gouge me on price or push me into unnecessary work. He works quickly and the quality was exceptional. He was also clean and organized with his work, so I felt that he was very respectful of me and my home. Next time I need work done on my home, I am definitely calling Ethan."

FAQs for roofing installation & roof repair projects in Lexington, KY

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.
