"Roger Byam contacted me within minutes of my listing on Angie's List. and inspected the job on the same day. He is very competent and thorough. He identified the problem and clearly explained the work to be done. His representative (Chris Scales) that did the repairs, in very cold and windy conditions, was excellent. He was experienced and explained each step as he did the job. The quality of the work was great and the site was cleaned up well after all the work. I highly recommend this Company for all your roofing work. Jack Deschamps Eastham, MA"

"My advice....look no further! Lee Howarth is the one! He is a breed of craftsman that is too quickly dwindling. He is meticulous, talented, resourceful, fair, professional, of high integrity and extremely talented. He solved problems that others might have avoided in an economical and responsible manner. He left not even on nail behind him. NO MESS! You may have to wait to get him but it's well worth the wait. Summer Winter Fall or Spring...this man does the job. I could NOT recommend him more highly <br /> Rosemary Milliman <br /> Wellfleet MA <br /> <br />"

"The men that came to our home were very professional and offered a lot of information.  They let me know that the roof may be able to go another year or two which was a pleasant surprise since we have a few other things to do to our house.  They examined the attic and offered some suggestions to help with better air flow and moisture removal to prevent mold. The price they quoted included a new layer on two sheds and a roof vent for our upstairs bathroom and a power vent for moisture control. It all seemed very fair compared to other quotes we received.  When the time comes to replace our roof we will definitely go with them. <br />"

FAQs for roofing installation & roof repair projects in Orleans, MA

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.
