"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."

"Full Service Roofing did an excellent job!! They performed their services in a very efficient time frame and were very neat and cleaned up after they were finished. We had a hard time finding someone to quote this roof replacement because of the steep pitch and we were replacing a shake shingle roof. Full Service Roofing did not hesitate and gave us several options for our replacement. We could not be more pleased!!! We would highly recommend them."

"I just had a new roof installed by Matterhorn Exteriors. Before contacted them I researched this buisness on the BBB website and the reviews were outstanding. Chad came to my home and inspected my roof and explained what work needed to be done. I was very impressed with his knowledge and extremely pleased with his estimate. The roofers arrived within a week and completed the job in just a few hours. The completely cleaned up after. I would recommend Matterhorn Exteriors to anyone needing a new roof."

"Our new roof installations could not have gone better from the bidding process until the end of the project. There were always 2 Field Operations Managers onsite from the beginning to the end of each day. Communication was always available and professional. It was a very well-coordinated major event. Our residents have been most complimentary. Crown Exteriors performed all the work within 7 workdays. Remarkable! Our residents experienced minor inconvenience for a very limited time. Any building started was completed the same day. At the end of each workday, the property was left in the same condition as it started. Spotless. Including the obvious need for overnight parking, each resident was back to their normal life within 36 hours. This was a very large job. The cost was well into the hundreds of thousands of dollars and they were highly competitive with their pricing. Anytime you take on a project this size there are going to be mishaps. Those that took place were very minor and most importantly, most were remedied that same day or within 24 hours. While those requiring outside services were trivial and few in number, they were completed within 2 weeks. Crown Exteriors always did what they said they were going to do when they said they were going to do it. As someone who was heavily involved from beginning to end, I highly recommend Crown Exteriors. They must be considered for any size project."

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.
