"Recent high winds had loosened the vinyl wrap on the fascia board on the front of our house. The poorly-installed wrap was evidently the only thing holding the soffit vents in place, and 3 of them dropped to the ground below. I contacted Jessie at Antietam Roofing and got an estimate on the repair cost. Because of inclement weather, he said it would probably be 3 days before they could do the work. When I called him near the estimated day, he said they would be there as promised and that the crew would call when they were on their way. I got a call the morning of the repair to let me know they were on their way. Tony (head guy) and Michael (his assistant) arrived right on time. Tony described what caused the problem and what he suggested doing to keep it from happening again (i.e., nail the wrap to the sill and do it with more than 2 nails!). We agreed on the plan, and they immediately started to work. They were finished in about an hour. The repair looks great."

"I'm a relatively new homeowner, so after a storm damaged my roof, I had no idea how to get my roof repaired or how to navigate the home insurance claim nightmare. I was so grateful when my friend's husband (who is a contractor specializing in home insurance jobs) recommended I call a company local to me called American Custom Contractors. My friend's husband told me he had worked with the company previously and knew that the company had good people, does good work, and is trustworthy. I'm happy to say that he was 100% right. Initially, my home insurance company only wanted to pay to replace a few shingles on my roof, but American Custom Contractors advocated on my behalf, and we were able to get the home insurance to replace my whole roof! There was months of back and forth with the home insurance company, but American Custom Contractors really allayed my anxiety during this whole process. In fact, everyone I met and spoke to at the company knew exactly what they were doing and were polite and professional. I felt like I was in good hands during the entire process. I'm happy to say my roof is now brand new and beautiful. I highly recommend American Custom Contractors for their superb customer service and high quality work."

"Oh my goodness! There are truly no words to convey how happy we are with our new shingles. Rob came out and met with us after we got estimates from three other companies. His knowledge, professionalism, and personality immediately helped us make up our minds to hire Politz Enterprises to replace our shingles on our home and detached garage. Rob was very attentive to helping us meet our timeline and explained the materials he would use and also explained their outstanding warranty. The crew he sent did an outstanding job at removing the old shingles, applying the new under-layment, installing the new drip edge, and finally applying the shingles. Despite how chilly it was in November, the men worked efficiently and did an outstanding job. They also did an excellent job at cleaning up once the job was complete. Rob came by once the job was complete to make sure we were completely satisfied. In our opinion, we are blessed to have the best roofing contractor in Maryland replace our roof. Thank you Rob and the entire crew who made our home look great again with the new roof you installed! Mike & Kathy D. - Middletown"

"Mike Sainz, owner, was as honest, accommodating, easy going, and responsible as any contractor I have used in Garrett or Montgomery counties. He kept me well informed by phone and email. Even sent pictures to show progress. . Found a problem in our home's construction and worked around it. Took care of a lot of small detains we never knew about. His work is high quality and he uses high quality materials. His crew cleaned up after each visit. Except for a few nails, our property was left cleaner than I had kept it. He did get backed up by the weather last winter and didn't get to us as planned, but he got is done early in the Spring as soon as it stopped snowning Mid march) and got the job done as quick as he could . He kept me informed of every change and every opportunity to finish the job as quick as possible His price was very competitive with other bids. I am very happy. I recommend All Superior Roofing without any reservations. <br />"

"Gutter Guys installed my gutters several years ago. Since then, I have paid them to come back and clean them every fall. They were here today and, under the supervision of Josh, did another great job. They cleaned the gutters, got branches off the roof, tightened some loose gutter screws, and left the place completely cleaned up. Thanks for another year of good work, guys!"

"<p>They were awesome.</p> <p>I shopped windows like crazy. They have their own special window that is very nice and energy efficient. </p> <p>They scheduled the roof first. Two days later they did my siding and windows. </p> <p>Excellent cleanup. </p> <p>They were not the lowest price, but were close. About $1000 higher than the lowest bid.</p> <p>I highly recommend them to anyone need exterior work done.</p>"

"It went extremely well, Chris K. after the initial contact, he was proactive in getting me a quote very quickly as in < 3 hrs. Once I have secured my financing with my bank, he immediately order the panels and set up dates for the installed. and the install was done in less than a day all 27 panels on the roof, pretty impressive if you ask me. He quickly got his electrician hook up the the panels and inspection done. Really only thing you had to do was sign a few papers and thats about it. I recommend anyone to go with Eco Solar for their solar needs. As Chris K. will keep you informed every step of the way. never at one point felt left out of the loop like some companies."

FAQs for roofing installation & roof repair projects in Oakland, MD

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.
