"Oitlast Construction just finished re-roofing our house, garage, and workshop. We found them on Angie's List and they appeared to be the best choice. They were excellent!! They kept us informed as to when they would arrive, and during the job. They were in and out of here in three days, which is amazing. When they finished up, you would never know there was ever such a mess. The yard looked exactly as it did before they came. I would recommend this company to ANYONE!!"

"Apparently, my mom's toilet had a slow leak that eventually weakened the structure that supports it  I discovered this when I was washing dishes in the kitchen and felt drops of water on my head.  I ran upstairs to find the floor almost totally given away.  <br /> I searched on Angie's list and found this contractor and they came over right away to assess the damage; they were shocked.  I explained that this is my mother's house and I only live here two months out of the year to help her through the winter months.  I stated my mom is 83 and she has a very low heart rate, around 40, has had two knee replacements several  years ago that are wearing out, and she gets out of breath when she walks down three flights of stairs to use the 1/2 bathroom down in the basement.  <br /> The contractor asessing the job, took notes, took pictures, was very sympathetic, and forwarded the pictures and details to his boss.  The boss scheduled reconstruction work for the very next day as he too felt that it was an emergency.  <br /> The work is not finished and they will come back next week to put the final finishing touches on everything which includes leveling the floor and putting new vinyl flooring down.  This comment is for the first part of the work, the professional response and follow up, and work to reconstruct the floor in one day so my mom would have to climb down three flights of stairs.  When  you look for a contractor you are looking for the following: <br /> <blockquote> <blockquote> <blockquote> <p>Prompt reply<br /> Prompt visit to assess the work requested<br /> Friendly contractor; one that sees the situation through the eyes of the customer requesting the work<br /> Prompt scheduling of work<br /> Quality Professional work<br /> This vendor was all that and more.  I can't thank them enough for their kindness and professionalism.</p> </blockquote> </blockquote> </blockquote> <br />"

"Mr. Haas identified problems in our roof installation and issued a report. He suggested re-install and steps that we should take to get it done. It was a long process that involved county and DPOR. Mr. Haas was very helpful every step during the entire process. He is highly experienced and very responsive to our calls, text, and email. We eventually got the roof reinstalled in a very good quality. Mr. Haas was onsite multiple times to ensure the right materials and methods were used. It would not be possible without the help from Mr. Haas."

"He found a problem with the way my bathroom vent was installed, and he solved that problem before continuing - very much appreciated! The job was done on time, on budget, and professionally handled. It was a mess afterwards, but that is the way it goes with dense-packed insulation. And there were a few nicks on the new sheetrocked walls because of the equipment, but again, not sure that can be avoided. I would hire him again, without reservation. <br />"

"Ronald was here within 2 hours of my call. He went in the attic so I could show him where it leaks, then out on the roof. After carefully inspecting, he determined one small place that could possibly be the problem. He goes to his truck, comes back with a small bit of tar, patches the place. He's done but assures me that if it continues to leak that he'll be right back out and to let him know. <br /> I asked him if they took credit cards and he said - Oh, no charge for this. We don't charge unless we actually DO something. Well, he DID actually do something - but he nicely refused. I've never heard of a company who made a house call for free - and with a small repair, it's still free. You can bet when I need to replace my roof that I'll call them. <br />"

"I had a nasty leak in my roof and had a terrible time finding a roofer in Duluth who would even return my calls. Peak not only answered their phone, but put me immediately in touch with a roofer to take care of me. <br /> <br /> He came to my house and estimated the job without requiring me to be there (a big plus), then confirmed the estimate via phone. Once I gave the OK the work was completed quickly and ahead of schedule. I can only assess the work from the inside, but the leak is fixed and everything is dry as a bone. <br /> <br /> My only complaint, and it's a pretty small one, is that the roofer who did the work did not immediately call me to let me know the job was done. <br /> <br /> All in all an excellent experience."

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