"It's hard to know how to rate this company. They replaced our roof a few years ago, and although the owner was contemptuous of us, seemed to have anger issues with his employees, and communicated poorly, the work was done neatly, on time, on budget, and seemingly very well. During unusual weather in 2021, water intrusion problems developed that may have been related to unique roof vent installation when they did the work. We made a friendly request for them to come back ON A PAYING BASIS to evaluate and see if they could fix the problem. This led to a bizarre explosion from the owner and an angry refusal to assist."

"It took a short while until we could get the contract specifications onto paper that we all agreed to and understood, but after this minor glitch everything worked out exceptionally well. Chad Hansen and his wife Sandra Smart are honest, hard working people who employ superior craftsmen and finish workers. They did an excellent job down to the very last detail. <br /> Eighteen years ago, I had this same firm replace our roof with excellent results. I knew I could rely on their professionalism and I'm not disappointed. Nonetheless, I went out and secured two other bids from what I understood to be very reliable contractors. The estimators represented their firms in a very knowledgeable way, however, their estimates were 50% to 80% higher! <br /> With first hand knowledge of this quality roofing contractor and an excellent price, the decision to choose General Roofing became a no brainer. <br />"

"The vast majority of the work went very well. The crews came out in awful weather to fix a leak in the old roof before they even started the reroof job. The put a temporary roof on the addition during the September monsoon. Once the new roof was on, no leaks, no problems, and it looks good, too! I had one bit of specialty roof, and it took a little too long to get the materials out here, and then to get the job completed. Once it was done, it too, was fine. <br /> <br /> I hope I don't need them again soon - after all, the roof should last 30 years - but I would call them with any new projects. <br />"

Mr. Haas stayed in contact with us for more than a month to ensure that any questions or issues we had were addressed."

"Contractor provided us with a competitive bid and worked with us on the schedule (all work had to be completed before a wedding we were hosting). Personnel were professional and cleaned up after themselves every day. Work was completed on time. Minor problems were quickly addressed. I would hire them again."

FAQs for roofing installation & roof repair projects in Nikiski, AK

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.
