"I needed an entire new roof, the roof was dirty, shingles were curling and in some spots my shingles were missing altogether. Duane was great. I read reviews on Angie’s list and decided to give him a call. He came out a few days later to make an initial assessment of my roof and gave me a quote immediately. When he arrived he came with a sample book of shingles to choose from as well as a packet of information including copies of licenses, insurance and about 20 pages worth of references. Being a businessman myself this definitely impressed me. I called a few of his references and they had nothing but great things to say about him. We scheduled a time and date for the work to begin, but Mother Nature just wouldn’t cooperate with us. Due to the rain we had to reschedule a few times, but Duane ALWAYS stayed on top of it. He would always communicate ahead of time to keep you updated on the weather forecast and let you whether or not the job would need to be rescheduled. I always felt that I knew what was happening and could plan my work schedule accordingly. Duane stated that his team would be at my house to start the work at 7am and the job would be completed within 1 day and that’s exactly what happened. They were punctual, efficient and all very professional. The new roof and skylights look great and I couldn’t be happier. Overall it was a great experience and I’d highly recommend him."

"After 26 years we knew, the time had come to replace our existing roof. At the recommendation of our neighbor, we placed a call to Brian Fallon at Trenton Roofing. At our home visit/evaluation Brian thoroughly explained the roofing process and within a few days submitted an estimate for the work we had discussed. In October of 2020 we signed the contracts and were given an estimated installation date. Brian kept us informed of the material availability and the anticipated date of install. In January of 2021 we received notification that Trenton Roofing had received all materials for our job and the work was scheduled. The day of the install the Trenton Roofing crew arrived promptly and within one day the entire process was complete. The crew was amazing – they were careful, efficient and their workmanship superior. Our yard was meticulously checked and cleared of all debris. We were so impressed with the roof install that we decided to engage Trenton Roofing for window replacement. In March of 2021 Brian Fallon along with Robert the window installer, visited our home to measure all existing windows. Once again within a few days we had an estimate for the new windows and installation. We were told from the start that our order would take between 8-12 weeks and installation would take approximately 3 days. We were delighted when windows arrived at the two-month mark and installation was scheduled. On the day of installation Robert and his team arrived promptly and went straight to work. Within 2.5 days Robert had completed the removal and installation of 25 windows. His work - sheer perfection! Robert is truly a master craftsman you would never even know that the new windows were not the existing ones in the home. His careful and precise work left the original window framework completely intact. Words cannot describe how thoroughly delighted we are in the finished product. Once again, Brian Fallon communicated with us every step of the way – made site visits to our home the day of the roof install and during the window Installation as well. Five Stars are not enough to give to Brian, Robert and to the Trenton Roofing team. If you are contemplating roof/window replacement – don’t think twice just call Trenton Roofing. The entire team are true professionals. Thank you for the excellent job – our house never looked better! Joe and Anne Paglione – Yardley, PA"

"The work was done in one day and I’m very happy with the results. I’m confident my leaking roof is now repaired the right way. Only thing that I would suggest to improve is to offer payment by credit card."

"I can't say enough good things about Sierra Construction Group Inc. - AND I appreciate their honesty (they told me I didn't need to replace our roof right away)! They are top notch & I will be calling Ed and his team back to replace our roof when the time comes without question."

"Great! First, I got quotes from a couple contractors, A. Parker Contracting being one. I pointed out my 4" gutters were being overwhelmed by any moderate rain. and the Soffit on the first floor was falling to pieces. Alex sent me a proposal with the items he had suggested: gutters 6", larger downspout, bulldog gutter guards. and a Vinyl soffit and trim. I have a 2 story Colonial so the gutters would be 2 longer ones on the 2nd floor (front & back of course) and two smaller gutters on the first floor over the garage in front & the den/family room in back. I agreed to all but the gutter guards as I prefer gutter-sense Tongs on an extendable pole to clean my gutters. Alex kept in contact with me and encouraged me to call him with any questions or issues. He called me to let me know he could begin earlier than anticipated which I agreed to. When I Returned from work that same day, the crew was on the last stages of installation and clean-up. the gutters look really good and I was overjoyed the Soffit was in - which should better protect my kitchen water pipe during the winter. there was a short but heavy rain the other night and the gutters performed well. I would and will use A. Parker Contracting again."

"We had Economic Roofing to replace our roof and fix our leaking chimney last week. Patrick did a very detailed inspection on our chimney and roof with detailed pictures. He explained what needs to be done and showed damaged areas of our roof and chimney, and he gave estimated cost. Then I received a detailed written quote from John. He also stopped by and explained the worst and better case about the repairs. First they fixed my rusting chimney. They completely sanded and re-painted with high heat paint. After a week they replaced my entire roof. Damaged boards are replaced, vents are replaced. They did a really clean job they cleaned all fallen asphalt shingles. They also deal with association and township approvals. Patrick and John came in and inspected and showed all the pictures before and after. They are ON-TIME responsive and their prices are very reasonable. I highly recommend Economic Roofing company"

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