"In 2006, Midwest Lifetime Roof Systems in Olathe, KS installed a Gerard stone-coated steel roof on my house. Their work was excellent and the product superior to any other roofing material I had ever seen. Now, seventeen years later, I still have people commenting on how great the roof looks. Just recently I had Roofing Force, (who bought out Midwest), install new gutters. Their workers were exceptional. In fact, I believe the crew included members who installed my roof back in 2006. This gave me a lot of confidence that they could handle the job. I couldn’t be more pleased with the results. They provided a free detailed estimate of what the gutters and installation would cost. As it turned out, Roofing Force was more than $5,000 cheaper than two national gutter companies. The quality of the materials was great. They installed the heavy gauge 6” aluminum gutters with the 3” x 4” downspouts plus sturdy gutter covers screwed down so as not to ever be dislodged by high winds. The crew completed the job of removing the old gutters, installing the new ones and clean up in about 6 hours. In addition, they noticed my stone coated roof required some maintenance. That is; there were some areas where the coating needed refreshing (along the ridge and some of the vent pipes). There was a separate charge for this, but after 17 years this was expected and again, they did an excellent job adding new granular material where needed. I initially spoke with Carlos Luna at Roofing Force about this job. He couldn’t have been nicer nor more professional. Any question I had, he was quick with a response and followed up with me before and after the work was completed. I will also say the same regarding my crew. They showed up on time, were very skillful and very respectful. I could highly recommend Roofing Force to anyone needing a new roof, gutters or any other services they offer."

"During the visit to develop a quote the refers informed me that it was not a leak resulting from my roofing system or the flashing around the chimney. It was the chimney itself, this involves a separate contractor. They also cleaned out a small portion of my gutters while they were on the roof. Extremely honest contractor definitely would recommend them. I did not hire him so I am unable to comment on work quality."

"Working with Alpha Roofing and Emily was really easy. The estimate was turned around very quickly, and came in under the estimate from the insurance company. They worked with us on the installation date, delaying at our request until it was a good time for us. The installation was very quick; while it was noisy as they told us, it was bearable (dogs were in the basement den with the TV on). Clean up was great. Gutters were done by a subcontractor that was less than ideal; they did not call in advance, and they did not pick up roofing nails that fell out of the gutter when they removed it (luckily I found them before the dogs' feet did). That being said, they were quick, and they did take care of a rotting soffit at a reasonable price. Alpha used an impact-resistant shingle that our insurance rep said will reduce our premium. We have also noticed (or not noticed) that we can't really hear the rain on the roof anymore."

"The roof came first. The crew worked like a well oiled <br /> machine. They took off the old roof and <br /> put on the new one. They did a thorough <br /> job cleaning up. The gutters were next. <br /> The crew was equally efficient with installation and clean up. Finally, the gutter cover installer did an <br /> outstanding job. I would be proud to <br /> recommend Appelhanz Roofing. Also, I <br /> need to mention that all the employees were friendly and helpful; especially <br /> Cindy whom I never met, but only talked to on the phone <br />"

"Yusef showed up at my door one day with a friendly smile and wanted to know if we had anyone look at our roof for damage from a recent storm. He was friendly, experienced, knowledgeable and walked us through the process. We soon had a new roof and gutters on our house. The experience was great. Thanks to Yusef for his professional work and his dedication."

FAQs for roofing installation & roof repair projects in Ottawa, KS

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.
