"Use Fix a Roof. James the owner is always on site making sure that the job is done correctly. And James says what he will do and does what he says he will do. The pricing is very fare and a good value for the work that is done. Just completed in Sheepshead Bay in Brooklyn on 4/14/23 Fix a Roof also does amny other home contracting repairs. Iwill use this company again the future"

"All Weather know what they're doing and they do it right. Bill and his son Brian are true professionals and gentlemen who have been in business for over 50 years. We had new roofs and gutters installed on 2 houses in Port Washington. The crew did an excellent job on both and one was a very architecturally challenging 100 year old house. The crew and the owners exceeded my expectations and I would highly recommend them."

"I wanted my roof to look better and needed someone to kill off some moss, lichens and darkening stains on the roof. The crew did a great job. Very professional. Cleaned up perfectly at the end. I really appreciate they used non-chlorine bleach to kill all growths. Living on a lake, it was very important to me that they not add any phosphates or chlorine to the lake water. They even patched a roof leak! I would heartily recommend Roof Renew Pros."

"First time homeowner and needed a new roof!!! I looked online and had no clue on what I was doing or looking for.. came across this site(Clearview roofing) and read the reviews throughly…. Gave them a called to schedule a quote… they sent my husband and I ERIC LEVI!!! He came on time and gave us the ins and outs of what we requested and some.. we were immediately at ease and very comfortable before the work eve begin. Eric gave us a quote and told what we needed and that he would take care of us… that’s exactly what he did.. His crew came early and went yo work immediately and was very efficient! When the work was done they cleaned up everything as if nothing was even done… we were even provided with samples for the roof to pick from which helped us make an easy decision! I also recommended the company and ERIC services to our friend the same day! I give 5 stars and highly recommended to anyone looking to have roof work done Eric we thank you so much"

"I had them to redo my whole roof 1.5 year ago and I found a piece of shingle fell off recently. I contacted the owner and they stood behind their work and promise. He quickly scheduled a follow-up and sent his team to fix it in a short period of time. In these days you can easily find any contractors do the work and work away with your money. However once the job is done, you will never see them again when there are any issues. This will not happen to Hi Tech Contracting as they are professional, responsible and trustworthy. Highly recommended!"

FAQs for roofing installation & roof repair projects in Merrick, NY

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.
