"Tom Lee Roofing did our roof in the Sunset District of San Francisco about four years ago (right as we were coming out of COVID). His team is professional and works efficiently. He walked us through the project prior to starting, frequently inspected the work, and offers to inspect future projects that may impact the warranty (e.g., if you need to put in a kitchen vent). We are so pleased with his work."

"Every time I called with a question they got back to me right away. When they were putting on the roof, they kept communicating with me on the amount of termite damage and wood that they have to repair. They kept me inform on how much they expected it would cost me if they did that. They put on our roof in the middle of a storm and the roof was leaking in the middle of the storm and they came out in less than 15 minutes to put an additional layer of tar over our roof and they committed to finish out roof the next day. Even when we had that encounter the owner let us know what was happening and what they were doing to get the roof completed timely and made sure we were satisfied."

"Alex and his crew were able to schedule our roof replacement around all the rain storms and got it done on time. Everyone was very polite and easy to communicate with. Cleaned up every day so there wasn't a big mess. Worked without any loud music or shouting which is good for me since I work from home. I think the price was fair. They also coordinated with our solar installer to make sure everything got done right."

"As repeat customers, we initially worked with Signature Roofing about 15 years ago to replace an old wood shake roof on our first home. At the time, we found them to be very professional, from the moment we received the quote through the entire re-roofing process. They were very honest, punctual, and did a wonderful job of installing a high quality roof with no problems during the following rainy season - no leakage at all, even around three skylights. They also did a very thorough job of cleaning up after the project was completed. But what really stood out was the building inspector's comments when it came time to sell our home. The building inspector said that the roof installed by Signature was probably the nicest roof he had ever seen, and he gave them an A+ for their quality and workmanship. Our experience with Signature was so positive that when it came time to re-roof our second home, we didn't bother to get quotes from any other roofing company. Again, we found both William and George to be very professional, honest and punctual. We met with William first, who patiently took the time to walk around the house and answer all of our questions and concerns. We discussed ventilation, dry rot issues, the different types of roofing materials out there, whether or not to replace the gutters or add more insulation, and even rodent issues which other neighbors around us have had. William was very honest. He told us what we did or did not need and didn't try to push more expensive products or services with us. Both William and George were very good at responding to our emails within the same day with answers to any additional questions and concerns we had. Once the re-roofing project started, George kept us updated with daily progress reports. After the installation, they did an extremely thorough job of cleaning up. Our gardener was very impressed, stating that in the 30 years of working as a gardener, she has NEVER seen such a thorough clean-up job. Our new roof looks beautiful, and we are extremely happy with the re-roofing job by Signature Roofing. We highly recommend them!!!"

"Ben's Roofing handled our industrial roofing job like true professionals. They completed the job ahead of schedule, they found ways to work with the tenant in the building, and their communication throughout the whole process was outstanding. We appreciated Gustavo's detailed proposal when we were first seeking bids for this job, and this was a big part of why we selected his company. Now that the project is complete, we feel we absolutely made the right choice choosing Ben's Roofing for our project."

"They did what they said they would do and when they said they would do it. Roof looks good and the clean up was also good. The people working on the project were professional. The only thing was communication. Needed a little more conversation over the phone to confirm arrival on first full work day. The sales rep showed up to lay down a plastic cover over a suspected leak and it held up during some very blustery rain. Over all excellent work but expensive."

FAQs for roofing installation & roof repair projects in Millbrae, CA

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.
