"On behalf of my 89-year-old mother, I recently commissioned L. E. Schwartz and Son, Inc. to re-roof her home built in the 1950’s. This project was a daunting mission for me, inasmuch as the Home Improvement Industry in today’s environment is fraught with unscrupulous contractors. It is refreshing to recognize and appreciate the following Schwartz traits: • Schwartz exudes professionalism and accountability. • Phone calls and email messages are answered in an expeditious manner. • Roof was installed in accordance with the predetermined schedule! • Quality of the roof is SUPERIOR. • Financing was facilitated with well-informed counseling. I wholeheartedly endorse L. E. Schwartz and Son, Inc. as a Home Improvement Roofing Contractor. GODSPEED! Brenda M. Gibson"

"Perfect. I enjoyed getting to sit in the storm shelters at their showroom to help with size selection. After signing up for the install, they connect you to an online portal to manage the contract and to update building permit number, etc. Installation was prompt and clean."

"Subcontractors were mostly good, but management of them was lacking. I had to personally supervise them because the on site contractor rarely stayed very long. Told the trim finish crew to leave because they did not know how to install crown molding. Got another crew that knew what they were doing. They never asked for periodic payments during the job (as is typical); presented one huge bill at the end. Holland homes builds nice homes, but I would not recommend them for small jobs like mine because you do not get the best crews and you have to wait for them to fit you into their schedule."

"It went great. The rep was very professional and cordial. The entire job was started as scheduled, and completed in two days. The crew did an excellent job, and all the old roofing and nails were removed—never found one nail on the ground after they left. Would definitely recommend."

"Ernie Haas provided a very thorough examination of our roof which enabled us (after much back and forth with our roofer (DCF Contracting)) to ensure that all necessary and required repairs were made to our roof. Mr. Haas stayed in contact with us for more than a month to ensure that any questions or issues we had were addressed."

"The crews arrived first thing in the morning as the boss said they would. They immediately started work and were finished roofing the house in less than four hours. The repair to the covered porch took a little longer. It was amazing how fast they replaced the rafters and the ceiling including the roofing. I am so pleased with the job that they did. The price for the job was, in my opinion, unbelievable. If you need your roof repaired or the shingles replaced, call this outfit. You won't regret it."

"Owner (Danny Renfroe) came to the house to do the estimate of the job. He was very professional and friendly to deal with and an approximate start time was established. On day of installation crew arrived about 6:30 am. They laid out tarps all around the house. The old shingles were removed in about 2 hrs. They left the existing roofing felt on the house. They began by applying a blue synthetic fabric over the entire house. Then they put the metal valleys in place. Architectural shingles (rustic black) were installed by several men at different locations at the same time. Some men were carrying shingles up the ladders. Some men were picking up shingles and other debris. Ridge vents were added to top off the roof. By 2:30 pm the roof was completed. They took a short lunch break, and thoroughly cleaned up around the house. All-in-all a very professional hard working crew. I highly recommend Danny Renfroe and his crew."

FAQs for roofing installation & roof repair projects in Opelika, AL

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.
