"It went great. A man measured the windows to be replaced and gave us a price. We went with them and on the scheduled they a crew of three arrived on time and had the old windows removed and the new window totally installed in a 3 to 4 hours. They did a good clean up too."

"Mr haas has worked with us on two houses since Nov, 2011. He was instrumental in helping us uncover all problems associated with 2 houses we purchased since then. He knows his stuff, and my roofing company has a great deal of respect for him, as he assists them in any area he can. He guided the process of fixing problem areas at our Virginia Beach house as well as our Richmond house."

"I have a 112 year old Craftsman 3-story house in southern Minnesota, and as one might imagine, things tend to wear out and need replacement. In my 9 years at this location, I have had two or three roof problems, and although I have called every roofer listed in the book and a couple who are not listed, Rightway is the only company that has ever followed through with both a visit and a written estimate. Therefore, they have gotten my business. <br /> The roofing season in Minnesota is shortened by snow and ice that can prevent roofers from going up on a roof for several months, so timing is critical. I started trying to hire someone in late March, and three roofers came and looked at the job. Rightway's estimate and a contract arrived a couple of days after they looked at the project. My only complaint was that after they had received my signed contract, it took them over a month to get back to me to schedule the job, and this scheduling happened only after I contacted them twice--a week between my two phone calls. But once they had my attention, they were able to schedule their work within a couple of weeks. <br /> They showed up on time the day they said they would come, demoed the damaged shingles, cleaned up and hauled away the mess, installed new shingles and finished three days later. They wasted no time. Their workmen were careful and well mannered, and the quality of their work seems to be good. As their truck was pulling away, one of the other two roofers I had called for an estimate six or eight weeks earlier phoned me to talk about doing the job, but I had to tell him that the work had been completed by someone else. <br /> My roofing problems stem from a batch of bad Certain-teed shingles that were sold in this region ten or twelve years ago, and I am eligible for a Class Action settlement with this company. Bob at Rightway furnished me with a detailed invoice that I can send with my claim. Rightway seems to understand how to handle the business aspect of the roofing industry as well as the actual application of the roofing materials, and we need more of that from contractors here in south central Minnesota. I hope Angie's List provides motivation for more contractors to conduct their business in a more professional manner."

"They delivered exactly as promised on everything!  They handled all the paperwork and dealt with the insurance company several times, we didn’t have to do anything.  The doors and windows are beautiful, the work on the roof and siding was perfect, and both the sales and service people were friendly, courteous, professional, and meticulous about cleaning up behind them.  We would wholeheartedly recommend Red Cross Construction to anyone.  They really stood behind their word."

"Cedar Valley contacted me through Home Advisor. They sent out a local rep who looked at my roof and indicated to me that they thought that I should file a claim with my insurance company as they could see wind damage on my main roof due to a recent storm. (I originally was looking to only have my sunroom roof done). Because of Cedar Valley’s recommendation, I filed an insurance claim and my insurance company agreed that I needed total roof replacement after inspecting the roof with the Cedar Valley rep. Cedar Valley came out to my house and replaced my roof in 1 day. They cleaned everything up when they were done and it looks great. The Cedar Valley Rep was within easy contact for this entire process and answered all of my questions. When the roof was replaced, the rep’s boss came out to inspect the job as well and to see if I was satisfied. I would totally recommend Cedar Valley."

FAQs for roofing installation & roof repair projects in Lutsen, MN

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.
