"Tom Lee was one of just two roofers *all* our neighbors recommended. No matter the person, we heard the same thing over and over: and quot;A roof? You want Tom Lee or (other place). Those are the only places you get to do a roof right.and quot; OK then! <br /> Tom Lee did a solid, efficient (one very long day) job replacing our flat roof, adding shingles to an eve, building and installing a new skylight, and installing a Solatube. Going into the consultation, we thought we wanted a skylight above our rather dark stairwell. Tom Lee explained that they could do this, but that the carpentry aspects required would bring the cost to $4-5,000, and that it was quite an investment for a stairwell. I did not know about the far less expensive alternative, the Solatube, but I'm grateful they mentioned it. We had one installed, it was very inexpensive comparably, and it does a great job bringing just the right amount of light into the darker center area of our home. <br /> We are able to see our roof easily from the steeper hillside behind us, and it looks great to us. So far, about four months later, we've had no known issues with leaks or anything else. <br /> To set expectations fairly, Tom Lee is very busy and in high demand. Plan ahead. We called in August to schedule our roof installation for October. Much in the same way good restaurants have long lines, reliable contractors and providers often have a wait. <br />"

"They were super excellent. I cannot recommend them enough. They did my roof 25 years ago and when it wore out, we cannot have wood shakes in our area anymore so I had a composition roof put on and they were just excellent."

"Alex and his crew did a fantastic job. We got a quote with a detailed breakdown of the costs after Alex came by for a thorough inspection. He was very straightforward with no sales pressure. Alex also provided with a list of properties that had the roof work done by cosmos roofing for reference. Because I was out of town for a while, Alex was very accommodating and we were able to change the date to fit my schedule. During the roofing process, the crew was quick and professional. They also made an extra effort not to disturb us in the house. Alex's dad, who's also the owner of cosmos dropped by every day to make sure things are on track and to answer any questions we had. The whole time we felt at ease with what's being done to the house. After the roof is done, the crew cleaned up everything and removed all debris around the house. Alex informed us about the date the inspector is going to be over and what documents we need to get ready for it. On the day of the inspection, Alex personally came by in the morning and made sure we had everything correct. Overall, Alex and Cosmos crew did a phenomenal job. We couldn't be happier with how smooth the whole process went. And couldn't stop looking at our new roof with joy every time we come back home."

FAQs for roofing installation & roof repair projects in Pacifica, CA

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.
