"John's (the owner of Pristine Inspections) verbal and written information prior to the inspection were thorough. John arrived on time the day of the inspection, gave an overview of the process and asked if I have a list of questions or concerns for him to address. The complete inspection and verbal overview were finished in approximately five hours. The next business day I received John's written report and photographs of the property."

"It took them a month to come out. Basically there's miscommunication between their staff. They thought they covered it. It was just the roof that fixed out in the bottom. It was the porch roof leaking into my house. They thought they brought a cover to cover it but they never did. It was bad. I was waiting for them. They told me they're coming but they wouldn't come. The guys were very nice but they didn't follow through on that commitment."

"After accepting their very fair proposal and mailing it, they called me the day they got my signed acceptance and asked if they could come out the next day. He said they would arrive at 6 a.m. They did! They tore off the old roof and replaced it with a new one. They did a great job and were very conscientious. Everyone I asked recommended them and now I will also recommend. They were very professional and left no messes whatsoever. Would definitely use them again!"

"Very pleased with all aspects of this project by Swanson's Roofing. From the initial visit for the estimate to the final clean-up. We got 3 estimates for our project, and Swanson's was the highest of the 3, but they impressed us so much with their proposal, that we decide to go with them. We knew ours would be a difficult project, because all of our existing plywood sheathing was substandard, weak, and decaying. We would need all wood sheathing torn off and replaced as well as new roofing. They gave us plenty of notice when they would be coming. We are retired, so we were at home to watch the whole process. They showed up on time at 7 a.m. the day of the project. The crew descended on our roof like a swarm of locusts. We counted 14 workers on the roof at one time, all wearing proper safety gear I might add. We watched them work up close from our 2nd story windows, and we got to see what hard work this was, but how skillfully they did it. We asked them to add a few pieces of missing attic insulation and insulation baffles for us, and they willingly did so with a smile. The entire project was finished by about 2:30 p.m. Amazing. They spent a long time (all 14 of them) going through the yard to clean up debris, nails, etc. The roof looks beautiful, and should last a long time. Certainteed provides a 50 year transferable warranty, and Swanson's backs that up with their own lifetime guarantee on their workmanship. Swanson's is a company that definitely understands the concept of customer service. This is something that you don't see too often today. I would highly recommend them to all."

"The service I received from Promax Construction was absolutely FANTASTIC! I had a rotted fascia board on the south side of the house that was in dire need of repair and Promax was the only company that I could find in Decatur who were actually willing to come out and get the job done. After calling to set up an appointment, John showed up exactly when scheduled, gave me an estimate and I agreed to it on the spot. His price was fair, so I signed the contract and he said he'd send out his guys as soon as he could. The Promax crew showed up roughly two weeks later and immediately got to work. The first crew of guys (sorry I didn't catch their names or I'd credit them here) pulled down the old board and cut and installed the new piece perfectly. It was exactly what I wanted. After that, John had Shane come out to do some finishing work on the roof and chimney and now everything looks fantastic! I am extremely GRATEFUL to Promax Construction for doing this job for me when nobody else would and the next time I need more work done on the house, I will definitely be calling Promax Construction FIRST. Thanks again to John, Shane and everyone else who helped with this project. I truly appreciate it!"

"Our "only" negative comment about Ground Zero Shelters is that they do not come to a persons residence to give the sales pitch and demonstration. You must go to their showroom or see their product at a home show. This being said, we were extremely happy with the sales experience, reminders and installation of our shelter. They called about 10 days prior to the installation for a reminder, their installers called the day before and the morning of the installation to remind us that they would be at our home at the designated time. They showed up as promised and were completed with the installation in less than 1 1/2 hours time! Thank you Ground Zero!"

FAQs for roofing installation & roof repair projects in Macon, 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.
