"We are really happy with our Owens Corning Duration Shingle roof installation and have received many compliments from our neighbors. Peter is very responsive and communicative. He and his crew went above and beyond to do the job right and they left our property in great shape, cleaning up all the roofing debris. I appreciate that Peter doesn’t try to sell you more products. Instead, he has your best interest in mind, as the client. For example, we were considering replacing our gutters because we wanted to change the color. Peter pointed out the gutters were in good shape and could be painted for the desired color change. His pricing is competitive."

"Lake Point Roofing was very attentive to detail, thorough, tidy before and after the job, and professional. I am very pleased with the results of my new roofs, and would recommend their services. In addition, my neighbor, who works with roofing contractors, watched throughout the installation process, and told me that they did an excellent job."

"My overall experience was exceptional. Carlos of Blue Sky initially came to my home and spent as much time as needed in explaining the repair or replacement alternatives with me and was very considerate regarding my specific roof concerns and financial constraints. He was very patient in helping me make the best decision and allowed me some promised flexibility after the work began. The Blue Sky team that performed the work over the course of a week were diligent and showed-up ready to go everyday. The end product was excellent. There was also some incidental damage caused due to a severe rainstorm during the work week that couldn't have been prevented by the Blue Sky team, however, Carlos took the necessary steps to timely restore the slightly damaged area to a condition that was better than before the rainstorm occurred. Very commendable. Overall a professional and dedicated group, which I would strongly recommend from both quality of work and cost perspectives!"

"Casey came on time (although a little early) on his first visit. He did a thorough inspection of the roof , first with me from the ground, and then he climbed to the roof for a closer look. He also checked my attic. He gave me what repairs are needed (renail some lifted shingles and replace ridge vent shingles) and gave me a quote later that day. Casey was accessible by email or phone for any further questions. On the scheduled day of work, he dropped off materials and gave instructions to his roofers. He stopped by the next morning, climbed up the roof to inspect the completed work to make sure nothing was missed and removed the garbage bag of replaced shingles. Overall, Casey was very polite and answered any questions I had. He was also thorough with his inspections. The work was on the expensive side but I felt that it was worth it based on the quality and the service and advice provided. I will be calling him again for roof inspection and roof replacement."

"Although there were 6 inches of snow on the roof this did not stop Holda Construction. They shoveled off the snow and immediately started reroofing the house. They used high quality, high definition Timberline HD shingles with a ridge vent, bringing the roof up to code. The additional vents are they added are dark and beautifully blend in with the roof. Their workmanship is above excellent and I recommend them to anyone needing a new roof."

"The project consisted of repairing rotten roof decking and soffits, metal roof replacement and custom gutters. A. B. Edward did an excellent job in all aspects. Andy the owner came to do the estimate and I also met him at their Wheeling, IL location. Adam was my main contact for the project and I can only say good things about his responsiveness and patience with my questions and requests. Their tradesmen did an excellent job with the repairs and kept the work area clean. I would recommend using A. B. Edward."

"I had received the contact of Peter from Advanced Roof from a friend. And as it turns out to be, I would recommend him to all my friends. We had received two other quotes to replace the roof and we found ALR to be very competitive. We were impressed by their ability to complete the job from start to finish in stipulated day and the efficient communication with their sales and admin team. He also went out of his way to work insurance and get everything settled. My insurance was a pain, but Peter handled it very well. We would highly recommend him to anyone looking to replace their roof or siding."

"The owner John, worked with the insurance estimator and provided me a detailed estimate after discussions with the insurance company, I decided to go ahead with W. Brothers Roofing. They delivered the supplies on time and arrived at 7AM as agreed on. They completed all the roof replacement in one day and cleaned up all the waste materials when finished. They returned two days later to replace all the gutters and the window shielding. The workers were great answering any questions I had and the on-site foreman Rob did a great job keeping me informed as to the flow and status of the work. I am extremely satisfied with the job done."

FAQs for roofing installation & roof repair projects in Northbrook, IL

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.
