"I needed a new roof installed so I called up Greater Boston Roofing on a recommendation from a good friend. They were easy to work with, and flexible in picking a good date for the install. Job foreman Matt Hall was upfront and professional, and did an awesome job making sure I knew what was going on with the installation of the roof. I'd highly recommend this company to anyone looking for a new roof."

"After contacting Above All Roofing I was quickly notified by Cyle. He was very polite, professional and courteous. We agreed on a time that worked best for me and he showed up exactly when he said he would! After inspecting the roof it was determined that the missing flashing from my chimney was most likely the culprit. Within a day or 2 I was emailed a quote to fix the flashing and also a full roof replacement quote. I decided to go with the full roof replacement. Once again I contacted Cyle and he set up an appointment to meet and was once again there when he said he would be. Once the contract was signed a day was set up for installation. The crew that showed up was awesome! Chris, Cyle and the rest of the crew showed up early and did not stop at all! It was a very smooth and seamless process and any additional work that needed to be done was communicated to me. I was extremely impressed with the whole process from beginning to end. Shaun has done a tremendous job with this company and I would recommend anyone looking to have roof repairs to give Above All Roofing a call! A+! Thank you guys the house looks great!"

"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."

"We were very pleased with the work and the professionalism of Dennis Wyatt, our rep for the project, and his roofing crew. We were especially pleased with the clean up after the roof installation. The workers were very friendly and accommodating and worked diligently to finish the project in 1 day on a 2-story colonial with a 2-car garage."

"Tony showed up on time and replaced leaking flashing on two vent pipes on my roof. Quality of work was excellent and he provided pictures of repair in process and looked for any other issues while on my roof. Communication with Tony from Skyway was a refreshing change, he is very prompt to get back to you in a timely manner. I will be calling him again in the future for sure."

"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 />"

"We couldn't have had a better experience. From the initial consultation to the final meeting after the work was complete, every member of the H&R team was professional, respectful, courteous and obviously dedicated to providing the best service possible. In our first meeting, Ray explained the roofing process, the materials, and the qualifications of his crew with enough detail to help us understand what they were proposing to do and why it was needed. He answered our questions about alternative approaches openly with a logical analysis of the pros and cons and without any pressure to accept the recommended plan. After we signed the contract, things moved quickly as H&R secured the necessary permits from the town and set a date for the work to be done. We had one weather-related postponement for only two days and Ray was considerate in the timing of informing us, waiting until it was clear that work could not be done on that day. When the crew arrived as scheduled two days later, we never saw people work so hard and efficiently. The foreman, Mauricio, explained the plan for the day and when afternoon rain did not come as predicted, he extended the planned working time and completed the entire house and shed in a single 12-hour day, even bringing on a few additional workers to do the shed! Clean-up was impeccable and when the driver of the dumpster truck took ill and could not pick up the dumpster the same evening, Rinaldo, the co-owner, came for it himself, apologizing for the late hour (8:30) and determined to spare us the inconvenience of keeping it in our driveway overnight. The finished roof is beautiful and when we noticed that a small section of one of our gutters had been bent in the process, H&R replaced it immediately. We were so pleased by everything about this company, including the reasonable price, that we will call them first when we plan to do other work on the exterior of our house."

"We were very pleased with Ocean State Home Improvement and John DiMauro. The company replaced our roof and gutters, a big job that was completed in one day; and installed pavers in our front and back yards, including regrading that eliminated rainwater pooling at our foundation. They also replaced our exterior doors and screen doors. The front door was not a standard size and the framing had to be adjusted accordingly. He's a very easy person to work with and if we needed a service he didn't provide, he was able to give us names of people who did. He was responsive to our calls/emails, was here when he said he would be, and provided a quality product every time. We highly recommend Ocean State Home Improvement."

FAQs for roofing installation & roof repair projects in Newport, RI

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.
