"The word that comes to mind is IMPECCABLE! This company is top notch. They were very responsive, polite, professional, efficient, and knowledgeable, all at a very reasonable cost. I requested a quote on Angie’s list from five roofing companies. Tom from Jilek called within 30 minutes and provided the quote that same day. (Others got back to me a few days later...) I wouldn’t use any other company if I were you. And their clean up after the job was flawless!"

"Tri-Link Contracting Services were prompt and very pleasant to work with. They returned calls and worked out details and answers to our questions and went over the specific products with us in their local showroom office. The roof installation went smooth -on time and clean up was great. Would recommend them and use them again for future estimates and projects."

"Exact roofing was fantastic. The owner Sandor scheduled us for late October and his crew came when he said they would. They did quality work and sent me pictures of the progress daily. Sandor checks all of their work personally and makes sure it is done exactly as it should be. The crew finished within a week and did an excellent job! We are so happy with their work.  I would recommend them to anyone looking for a quality roofing company who will do exactly what they say they will do.  They do it right the first time, a rarity in the roofing world today. They are true craftsmen who take pride in their work. I can not praise them enough! Thank you, Exact roofing! <br />"

"After the 3rd patch on my existing roof, it was time to replace the roof. Got an estimate from local roofer who did the repair, and from FB. FB was significantly lower for what has a strip and replace on a simple 2 plane roof. The estimator worked with me as a truckdriver with limited home time to schedule his estimate with my home time. He was pleasant and professional. On day scheduled for the work to be done, the workers, and equipment arrived as promised. They started about 8am and was done by noon. Cleanup was well done, and the dumpster for debris was gone by that afternoon."

"If I could give this company 10 stars I would. I hired Airko to fix issues caused by another company that had re-sided my home in 2020 and would not respond to my pleas for assistance in addressing siding that was not attached, siding sagging, etc. Mark Gilbert worked with me, evaluated the entire house, found all the problems from the prior company, and promised to fix everything for me. And they did. They were professional, timely, punctual, and went above and beyond. The gentleman, Mark, who actual did the repairs, was very detail oriented, and did perfect work. I can't say enough good things about Airko and the Marks. I am grateful to them for getting me out of the mess I was left by the installing company."

"The contractor submitted a formal bid and detailed drawings and drew up a contract.  He pulled all the required permits and easily passed city inspections. The work included drywall installation, new doors and windows, and an electrical subpanel.  Everything was done quickly, carefully, and with utmost professionalism.  The contractor was onsite throughout the job and checked with us every step of the process to make sure all was done to our complete satisfaction.  I would recommend this contractor without reservations. <br />"

"Dan Farley was very informative and professional throughout the estimating, installation and follow-up processes. His quotes are competitive and, most importantly, he did not subcontract the work. His skilled crew did a top-notch job to budget and on schedule. I wish we would have gone with Farley roofing for our initial roof replacement. My husband and I highly recommend Farley Roofing to anyone considering roof repairs or replacement. You'll be extremely satisfied!"

FAQs for roofing installation & roof repair projects in Lorain, OH

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.
