"Daniel showed up as scheduled to look at the job, and asked if I wanted a quote or a repair. I told him a repair, and within 30 minutes the job was done. He put rubber replacement boots over 4 deteriorated vent pipe boots. He also fixed a loose gutter screen that he spotted while he was here. Amazing quick service for a job that most roofers would think was just a nuisance to take care of (I'm still waiting for a return call from another roofer I called)."

"I highly recommend Surf & Turf for your new roof. From their sales reps, to their finance department to their installation crew, they are very helpful and professional. We are particularly grateful to Karen, Tyler and Owen for their guidance and support and for helping use deal with our solar company. The poor installation of our previous roof, plus the constant moisture under the solar panels caused the roof to deteriorate much quicker than normal. With Karen and Tyler’s help, we were able to have the solar panels removed and replaced for no cost. Karen worked with us and with reps from the solar company. Tyler met with them at our home and supported us and our needs. We now have a beautiful new roof, with a lifetime guarantee (through the manufacturer, Owens-Corning), even with the solar panels installed. I just really want to thank Karen, Tyler, Owen and everyone at Surf & Turf for their work and their support."

"My job went Great. Joe was the sales manager; he was polite, professional and ethical. We thought that we needed to do a complete removal of our roof to the roof deck but, after Joe scaled up the roof like Spider-Man 🙂 and assessed the roof; he said “that wasn’t necessary-roof felt stable.” We appreciated his honesty because it saved us from spending thousands of dollars unnecessarily so we are able to allocate those funds to another project. Thanks Joe😊 Now; about the crew of installers big Anthony, Anthony Jr. and John they were great! Polite, respectful, professional. My roof looks awesome. They did a beautiful job installing our skylights and vents. If they saw something needed to be done they took care of it even if it wasn’t in the job description; just great work ethic. My house was completely cleaned; all trash and debris was removed . Guys thank you for the 0 percent anxiety during this project. See you in 3 years for the silver coating. Truly grateful, The Lee family."

"We didn’t make it easy for the guys . Building an entire office in a busy showroom of an auto dealership with people coming and going and constant traffic. The team did amazing , the office looks like it was there all along and MK got it done 6 whole days faster than we believed it would take. Clean , courteous, fast and professional. I can’t say enough about the crew at MK. Considering we struggled to even get estimates from 3-4 other local companies MK delivered and we are thrilled! I highly recommend them for any job, residential or commercial. Big or small I have no doubt they will do an amazing job! Mike McVeigh David Auto"

"Sam and hi family and staff worked in the heat wave of the summer in 2022. a three week roofing project. Our house has 5 chimneys, multiple barrel dormers on the third floor. There were 2 asphalt roofs that had to be taken off - and taken away. They were up on the roof every morning at 7 am, took their short lunch breaks - and got back up there. We heard them singing - in the heat . It was a lovely experience. Great attention to detail. We cannot recommend them enough. They are worth the wait . very fairly priced. hard workers."

"Reiter did an excellent job on the work that was performed. Two other companies told me I needed to have my entire roof replaced for considerably more money. Reiter made the roofing repairs necessary and also replaced two skylights. I will absolutely use them again for future work I need. Larry"

FAQs for roofing installation & roof repair projects in Media, PA

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.
