"We recommend Durable Remodeling most highly! From start to finish, they are professional and easy to work with. Dean worked with us to find the solutions that best fit our needs, without steering us toward more expensive, unneeded options. He was upfront about costs and scheduling, and stayed in touch with us. Rick and Ben, who did the work, were efficient, friendly, neat, and highly skilled. We’re very happy with all their work on our windows and siding projects, and we’re looking forward to having them renovate our bathroom this winter. Thanks, guys!"

"We highly recommend Engineered Home Solutions (EHS) for home renovation projects. John, the owner, is a very skilled professional and along with his team of talented tradesman completed our project with amazing results despite many unpredictable pandemic related issues. In addition to being a skilled tradesman, John is also an exceptional project manager who coordinated the day-to-day subcontractor activities including delivery of project supplies and products. John’s detailed proposal was well thought out and was a helpful tool to use as the project progressed. Everyone displayed pride in their workmanship, great customer service, flexibility, honesty, and were pleasant to work with. The end result is a beautiful and functional remodel that will be enjoyed for years to come."

"I have been completely satisfied with providers I've used thru Angie's List but this guy was not forthcoming. I needed a roofer due to a damaged kitchen ceiling and an approaching storm on the horizon. Unfortunately, I chose Otto over another provider. Originally, he gave me an estimate of $5,000. Ten minutes after he left, he called me to say he didn't measure the roof accurately & asked for $2,000 more. Due to the emergency situation, I agreed. Once, he had the product he told me the roof would last for twenty years. After he completed the job with the exception of finishing a strip over the inside porch, he said oh, the roof probably won't last twenty years! One of his workers left 2 strips of attached staples on top of the roof. He never came back to complete the job. I called several times within the next two years. At least 6 times he promised to come & finally, the last time I spoke with him was spring of 2017. His final response was "I decided I'm not coming out to finish the job". I would never recommend him to anyone. His attitude was lousy & he was anything but forthcoming.."

"Dennis was excellent to work with. Very knowledgeable and easy to talk with. His crew was efficient clean and talented. These guys are a great team and really impressed me and all my neighbors as well. I would use them for any of my siding or roofing work in the future. They knocked it out of the park."

FAQs for roofing installation & roof repair projects in Nantucket, MA

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.
