I was very impressed with the care he took in protecting my landscaping and structures from damage. I was also impressed by how he went out of his way to ensure the job site was clean and safe from nails and other debris. I highly recommend Taylor Construction and General Contracting."

"Very impressed with responsiveness, professionalism, technology, and value provided by Gunner Roofing. The copper flashing was pulling away from around my chimney and looked like it was in need of repair or replacement. I had previously worked with another well reviewed roofing company on Angie's List that missed my scheduled appointment to examine my chimney flashing. So I was very pleased when Andrew from Gunner showed up exactly when promised, and I was quite fascinated with his use of a drone to take precise aerial photographs of the work to be performed from all angles - a rather tech savvy approach. Gunner provided a detailed estimate within hours, that was only 1/3 the cost of the estimate I ultimately received from that other roofer. Gunner Roofing completed the work on time, and did a very satisfactory job. This was a relatively modest project, but based on my experience, I hope to use Gunner Roofing when it comes time to redo my entire roof."

"I sent Mr. Long a text regarding what I thought was a leak in the roof somewhere in the vicinity of the chimney. He went to my house and based on his assessment, suggested that I have the chimney flashing and some roof shingles replaced.  He gave me an estimate for the work and a five year warranty.  I texted him and told him that I wanted him to do the work.  I happened to be home when Mr. Long came to my house to perform the work.  I invited him inside to show him where the water was coming in.  After seeing the inside, he said that I probably didn't have a roof leak at all since none of the drywall was wet, especially after all the rain we had just had from Tropical Storm Colin, but maybe the chimney cap needed to be replaced.  He said he would get on the roof and take a look.  After coming down, he showed me where it appeared that the chimney cap was not down far enough on the chimney.  He adjusted the chimney cap.  When I asked him how much I owed him, he said to give him whatever I thought was fair.  I took into account the two trips he made to my house and the fact that he did not take advantage of me and do a repair that I did not need.  I also took into account that it was less than a week from the time that I first contacted him to the time that he did the work.  I was so grateful for his willingness to come out to my house, which was a pretty good distance for him, and his integrity for not performing work that I did not need. When I paid him, he actually asked me if I thought I should give him that much.  I told him that I did think it was fair considering the two trips he made and for the value of his time and integrity.  "

"My home has a 100+ year old slate roof in disrepair and several generations of cheap fixes. I contacted Leeland's for an opinion on repairs. The inspector was extremely thorough, provided pictures, and gave me his candid opinion on the remaining life of my roof based on the condition of my slates and flashings. He ultimately wrote up an estimate to paint the rusted metal valleys, replace several dozen broken slates, repair rotted wood, and install new copper chimney flashing and a cricket. It was a difficult decision to repair vs replace the roof, but I never felt any pressure from them one way or another. I agreed to the repairs originally, but ultimately changed my mind and just decided to replace the roof. I'm sure this was a hassle to go back and forth with me, but they were very patient, and ultimately returned my deposit. I really appreciate their honesty and customer service, and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for maintenance on their slate roof. <br />"

"Brian arrived promptly as scheduled and asked to see areas of concern visible in the house. After checking out water damage visible inside, he headed out to the roof where he fixed and caulked popped nails and open spots on chimney flashing and ridge vents. He returned with photos of problem areas on his tablet, and used those to explain trouble spots. He then was able to go through an itemized proposal that gave me reasonable options. Consequently, we agreed that we would contract to replace a missing chimney hat ($620 estimate) but hold off on replacing chimney flashing or ridge vents as current problems could've been due to an unusually tough winter and may have been resolved by the caulking. <br /> I was very impressed that Brian went above and beyond to clean out our gutters. I didn't request or expect this, and was very grateful as the gutters are extremely difficult to reach on our high, steep roof. <br /> Overall, I have great respect for CMV Contracting and will definitely call on them for all future roofing needs. <br />"

"Going only on the basis of positive online reviews, I invited Utica Roof Pros to provide an estimate for replacement of my office roof. Their office responded promptly to my phone message, and their sales rep Andrei scheduled an appointment within a couple days after my call. Andrei presented as friendly and knowledgeable, with a professional presentation of the kind of roofing options I would have, paired with the quality of the shingles being proposed. I agreed to hire the company for my roof replacement, and they called within 3 weeks (sooner than promised) to schedule the job. The team arrived on time, working efficiently enough to complete the work in a single day. Apart from the apparent quality of the installation, I was impressed with how attentively and thoroughly the team cleaned up during and after the job. I was glad that the reviews I had read were valid; I was highly satisfied with Utica Roof Pros, and would recommend them to anyone needing quality roofing and prompt responsiveness."

"The first time we had Semco do work for us was in the early 1990's.  They did about 1/2 of the windows <br /> in our home.   Within a couple of years, we called them back for the rest of the house.   About 3 years later <br /> we changed our regular kitchen window to a box bay window which is just beautiful.   Soon after we had <br /> them come out and put in a new front door for us. <br /> We were so thrilled that when my Dad's home needed windows, I had Semco come and do his entire home. <br /> My friend who lives 90 miles away heard about how much I liked them that she (90 miles away)  called them <br /> and they did windows for her home also. <br />"

"<p>We had a very bad communication problem.   I gave him a $600.00 deposit and he never got back to me except to tell me he would be there on Saturday(three Saturdays in a row) which he never showed.  He said he was having phone problems.  When he finally came his work was great.  He did everything I needed done and a little more. He dose very good work and I was very  happy with the results.  I think after this he will be better with his customer communication skills</p> <br />"

FAQs for roofing installation & roof repair projects in Old Forge, NY

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.
