"Great job by all the men involved. I’m tired of the waiting and not showing up. REI roofing was there when they said they would be and did a fantastic. They even went the extra mile to do things right at no extra cost! They are the best at what they do! And I would have them back in a moment. Unfortunately their repairs are so good I probably won’t see them for 20 to 30 years. That makes me sad.?"

"Sergei provided a free estimate and a full explanation of the work needed and the costs involved. His crew arrived promptly on the scheduled day. They kept an orderly work area, striped the old shingles, replaced plywood as needed and re-shingled the entire house in one day. They completely cleaned the work area after they were done. I am very satisfied with the results and highly recommend the Roofing Doctor."

"The quote was a fair price compared to the other quotes we received.  The date was set to start the job but was delayed to the following week because of weather.  The roof was completed in 1 day.  I had to call because there was an area where the roof pitch changes that did not look right but Sean had his guys come right out and correct it the day I called. <br /> The roof looks beautiful and we are happy with the work. <br />"

"I used Durable Remodeling to replace an old deck. Dean and his crew were very professional and the deck came out great. After the deck was finished Dean gave me some advice on how to paint or stain it later on. He is such a pleasure to do business with. I would definitely hire Durable Remodeling again."

"They made the process so easy! Pricing was done quickly and was the lowest price we got. The work was done in a timely manner. The lifetime shingle repair and 10 year labor warranty that they provide is a no brainer!"

FAQs for roofing installation & roof repair projects in New Bedford, 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.
