"We have dealt with CJS and Chris Sielfleisch for over 20 years now. He has installed 2 roofs for us in that time and the experience and workmanship were excellent each time. The first roof was just worn out, the second was a hail damage claim with our insurance company. The job and communication with our carrier was seamless. The gentlemen taking the original roof material off and installing the new were quick, though and courteous. Pricing was right were we expected and there were no surprises. We'd recommend CJS to anyone that wanted an honest, insured, wonderful company."

"The Shelby Roofing Sales Rep arrived at my home promptly for our scheduled appointment. He measured my gutters, discussed options, and provided me with a bid within one 20 minute visit. The crew cleaned my gutters, inspected for any damage, installed the gutter guards, and cleaned up all debris. I would highly recommend Shelby Roofing to family and friends."

"I appreciate everything you did for me in getting a new roof because of wind damage. These pictures enable me to see the before and after views of my roof. And also to show them to my family and friends. Your company did an excellent job with tear off, while installing, and clean up. You have an excellent staff and you are an excellent project manager. Thank you,"

"They were expensive but good. They were experienced. The price I really didn't know if that's high so it might be comparative to the people especially when they took off the old, put on brand new roof. They didn't put new wood on, but they took off the old and put on the new roof, so it was probably okay. I'm not a roofer but I'm sure that it was good. I got up to 20-year guarantee on it. I put the letter that I approved to have him to do it, and he never did get back to me at all. I had to call them like two weeks later, but what had happened, he had a big mailbox at the front of his house, I guess they didn't really use and then a regular mailbox, and I put in the big mailbox since I thought was for the roofing stuff. They never even opened that box up. So, I called up, then he went out and found that my insurance okayed it. The guys were really nice. I didn't see the owner really anymore it's the guys that work me, and they're all were nice to me."

"We were very pleased with Matterhorn’s workmanship. From first contact, Chad was very prompt with regard to returning emails, calls, and texts. We were pleasantly surprised when he actually brought shingle samples to the house for us to review. Very convenient. His crew was very courteous and had the old roof off and new roof on in one day. They even installed gutter guards, that we had bought, on a tall section of the house for us. Side note: It was getting dark as the crew was wrapping up the job. We saw lights in our backyard and were curious. Upon investigation, the roofing crew was using flashlights to look for nails in the yard and around the house. Great attention to detail! Going forward, I would not hesitate to use or recommend Matterhorn to friends or family."

"I am going to get solar so I had my roof inspected first. Jim with Allen roofing came out and really took the time to check it thoroughly. Thankfully all was good except one ridge cap shingle that they can fix for me after my solar install. Jim was easy to work with and very professional."

"I called and they found time to come the next day. Kirk showed up when he said he would. (I can't tell you how many times a contractor has shown up late or not at all). Kirk examined the roof saw hail damage, contacted the insurance agency, followed up after the adjuster didn’t call back in a week, and met the adjuster in person to show him the affected areas. This is the service your typical roofing contractor doesn’t do. That is why if it is time for a new roof I recommend you call them."

FAQs for roofing installation & roof repair projects in Livingston, IL

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.
