"Our "only" negative comment about Ground Zero Shelters is that they do not come to a persons residence to give the sales pitch and demonstration. You must go to their showroom or see their product at a home show. This being said, we were extremely happy with the sales experience, reminders and installation of our shelter. They called about 10 days prior to the installation for a reminder, their installers called the day before and the morning of the installation to remind us that they would be at our home at the designated time. They showed up as promised and were completed with the installation in less than 1 1/2 hours time! Thank you Ground Zero!"

"We had to replace our front porch due to termite damage. We consuted Angie's list for a contractor and chose one from the list for the repairs.  <br />     When the porch roof decking was complete, I asked the contractor to recommend a roofing contractor. He recommended All Purpose Roofing. Again I consulted Angie's list and found All Purpose Roofing listed. I contacted them and spoke with Buddy McFarland, the owner. He came by and gave us an estimate. We agreed to have them do the roof on the porch.  <br />      I asked Buddy to do a thorough inspection of the entire roof. Upon inspection, he found that the shingles were in good condition, with the exception of the four valleys. The shingles had been installed improperly by another contractor in the past. <br />     One valley was leaking water into the soffet and the decking and support rafters were rotted. I asked for an estimate and agreed for them to make all necessary repairs to the roof. <br />     Buddy, and his crew, arrived on time and started working right away. They completed the job quickly and were very professional.     <br />     We are very pleased with the quality, and price, of the work that All Purpose Roofing did on our house, and would recommend them to anyone needing any roofing work done. <br />"

"Roof was completed very quick, came out perfect. Loved everything about the work performed as well as the amazing price. They ripped off my old vinyl and replaced it with new one that complimented my brown metal roof."

"They were honest to a fault. They had an eye for detail. If the shingles were supposed to have a nail every four inches, it was every four inches. They were very precise. I did have some problems with getting them to do the work, so their punctuality let me feel like my job is not as important as everybody else's job, because they were booked. He has such a good reputation. At this specific time it was following a hurricane that came to our area and it was quite a few people. And finding somebody that was dependable and honest was a craft. He kind of overbooked himself a little bit at that time. He is very meticulous with all of his work. I feel confident that he has given me the same type of treatment that he has given everybody else. We had agreed to meet and he was supposed to come out and there was a delay. I don't feel like he schedules his time appropriately but I feel he was a victim of circumstances and I don't mean it in a derogatory manner because I just feel he was overbooked with work. At that time we were running short of supplies."

FAQs for roofing installation & roof repair projects in Oakdale, LA

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.
