"This review is going to seem strange because Trenton Roofing and Siding did not actually do any work for me. However, I wanted to share how impressed I was with their presentation. I contacted four roofing companies for removal and replacement of a residential roof. I researched each as much as I possibly could using written reviews on sites such as this and general reputation. All four companies offered Timberline shingles and provided folders containing small patches of the available colors. Ever imagine how a new carpet will look in your house from looking at small carpet sample? Just as difficult to imagine your roof color from a small patch of roof tile. Only Trenton Roofing’s website listed locations of past work and a filter to find each of the Timberland colors on a completed roof. My wife and I were able to drive to multiple locations, within a twenty minute radius of our home and see the colors on competed roofs. I set up an appointment with Trenton Roofing and Jamie arrived on time and was friendly and informative regarding the work to be performed. He quickly sent us a written estimate which was the most detailed of all four companies. I had additional questions for each company’s representative after receiving their estimates and Jamie was the quickest to respond to those questions. Finally, Trenton Roofing was the lowest priced. So why didn’t I hire them? I would have except a large section of my roof requires a flat roof system. One company submitted an alternative type of flat roof that costs several thousand dollars more than that offered by Trenton Roofing or the other two companies. I am able to afford the extra cost and decided on that option. If looking for a new roof I would recommend Trenton Roofing and Siding as a company to contact and consider for the job."

"I had a 20+ year old skylight that was leaking. Joe came out to the property twice when I had a followup question so that he could provide me with an accurate response. The roofers that came to install the skylight were courteous and professional. After the installation was complete the edges of the roof were re-sealed and silver-coated."

"I was afraid I was going to need an entire new roof, but after looking it over, Ed felt most of the roof was in decent shape for its age, and that we could get away with just a repair at this time. Since I'm hoping to install solar in the next couple years, and plan to replace the roof then, we opted for the repair. After a minor communication issue (my email reply had gone into his spam folder), we scheduled the work. The workman arrived as promised and worked all day on the repair. Ed came by to check on progress (he had been tied up on another job), but things were fine. We've had several heavy thunderstorms since the repair, with no leaking. Would hire again - he offered the repair even knowing it would cost him a full roof job, since he can't do the solar installation. If you contact him via email and don't hear back, call - just in case his email provider decided your email was spam!"

"It was a pleasure dealing with Alec and AV Contracting. He immediately came out when I first contacted him to replace the roof on my Shed that was almost thirty years old. His price was competitive and well within my budget. He showed me different samples as well as made recommendations for the type of shingles and capping I should replace the roof with and venting for the roof/shed. Most important, the job/roof when completed what excellent - Meticulously installed with impressive installation. It took him one day to complete the job. Another note, that impressed me was that Alec was friendly and approachable. No matter when I called or text him, he was happy to assist me or answer any questions. When I replace the roof in my house, I will not bother contacting any one else- Alec and AV Contracting have my business in the future."

"We could not be more pleased with the work done by MW Roofing, LLC. Mark in sales did a great job explaining options during the bidding process. Chad, the owner, installed the metal roof. He was patient and helpful answering all our questions and worked with us to fix some drainage issues on the flat roof. The bid was competitive, the quality of the work top notch."

"If you are thinking of getting your roof replaced, updated, and/or repaired look no further than Economic Roofing - period, end of story! In terms of level of service here’s what you are going to get: Overall Customer Service A+++ Overall Quality Service A+++ Overall Satisfaction A+++ Pricing A+++ I called Economic Roofing to get a quote and the owner, John stepped in and right from the jump went above and beyond my expectations. From start to finish, he kept me informed about every step of the process and price estimates of material service even though I could tell he was extremely busy. Their team found a whole bunch of rotten plywood so they replaced those as well. He truly cares and takes pride in the quality of his work. The level of service and the integrity which I experience from John was beyond compare to ANY other roofing customer service that I have ever received or experienced. Thank you, Economic Roofing, and thank you John! I will certainly look to Economic Roofing for any future roofing needs and I will be sure to tell all whom I know in need of roof care, look no further than Economic Roofing. In short, EXCELLENCE!!!"

"We just had our roof replaced and our front porch upgraded with C&C. Chris, Brian, Wilson and the rest of the crew were absolutely wonderful to work with. From initial estimate, to color/style choices to the actual installation, we were extremely pleased with the entire process. Brian stopped by multiple times to make sure everything was going smoothly and we were happy. The workers were nice and everything was cleaned up perfectly once they were finished. 5 stars from start to finish!"

FAQs for roofing installation & roof repair projects in Montchanin, DE

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.
