"My newish roof needed repair after the guy who did the roof was non-responsive. They came, determined the issue, and repaired the roof. They were very professional and more reasonably priced than another company I had give an estimate."

"Pricing of roof: I had four pricing quotes and they came to be the second lowest. However the delta between the highest, and the lowest was not much in any case. Thus I could go with any one of the four. Pricing of the solar: I had a several quotes including Solar City, and they were in the lowest pack (compared $/kw of the system with all the incentives). Roof Work: The quality of the work is superb. They did exactly what they promised on the quote. Solar work: Solar panels on the roof looks nice; Even though I have a relatively large system due to the pond operation, the panels are arranged well and all the wiring is hidden inside either under the panel or the roof attic through conduit. Clean up: They cleaned all the mess around the house after the work is done, which makes my wife (and in turn myself) happy. Shadowfax gave me an additional discount for doing the roof and the solar together. This is good because it helps me not only the finance side but also dealing with any potential defects once the work is done. I did not deal with two different installers for any roof related issues. The roof is tested well during this winter as we had an unusual heavy rainy season. No leak is found up to now, and the new gutters route the water the way supposed to be. The solar production is too early to say (we need at least one year to see), however, it looks like producing as promised. In the month of March, the production is slightly less than the yearly average (total system capacity/12)."

"Robert and his team at V&G Builders is exceptional! We hired Robert to do a big remodel in our new house in the Oakland Hills, and from day 1 he has exceeded all of our expectations. There are many things that make Robert impressive and a top notch contractor. He has an ability to understand all elements of a project and a even temperment and professional approach that makes even the most challenging situations go well. We honestly had no idea what we were walking into when we bought this house and it seemed like there were many unexpected issues. Robert took all of these in stride and tackeled them one by one. One of the things that my husband and I most appreciate about Robert is his integrity - his honesty, in particular. Robert does not lead you on or tell you half truths. He lives by his word and will always give you an honest answer. When he thinks it's not spending money on something, he will tell you. He's not in it to make a quick buck, he's in it to do OUTSTANDING, high quality work. Lastly, we really, really appreciate Robert's design eye and high standards. He brought ideas and suggestions to the table that we would never have thought of. His recommendations only made our experience all the more positive. On a personal front, after working with Robert for 8 months now, we can call him a friend. He's just a pleasure and you will not regret working wtih him and his team. Thank you, Robert!"

"Daddario Roofing was the third roofing company I had give me an estimate to replace the entire composite roof of 25 years.  Even though I heard some tho'ts from others that the roof had some life left in it, Daddario was the only one who said I didn't need full replacement as yet and that they could repair the damaged shingles (from heat) over the garage and then vent the garage for better air flow.  I was delighted to not have to do full replacement and spend much more money.  The original roof had  40 year composite shingles and only the garage roof had really suffered due to extreme heat in the garage itself.  I had no venting in the garage whatsoever.  <br /> Working with Steve, Edgar and their staff in the office was a pleasure.  They always got back to me in a timely manner and were pleasant to work with.  The estimate, work authorization, and payment were all done online which was new to me, but worked out well.  The roofer, Juan, was professional, punctual, and tidy.  Everything was cleaned up well when he completed the job.  I was very pleased. <br />"

"It was a great experience working with the Cosmo crew who were very professional and courteous. In two days, they replaced our old roof on a 3 bedroom single family home and installed a new skylight. During the process, they found rotted wood and replaced them properly. The gutters were painted to match the house. I appreciate their high quality workmanship and flexibility by working with our contractor's schedule and the unpredictable weather. Their commitment to customer satisfaction is obvious as they accommodated many of my requests during the process. I would highly recommend them."

"As repeat customers, we initially worked with Signature Roofing about 15 years ago to replace an old wood shake roof on our first home. At the time, we found them to be very professional, from the moment we received the quote through the entire re-roofing process. They were very honest, punctual, and did a wonderful job of installing a high quality roof with no problems during the following rainy season - no leakage at all, even around three skylights. They also did a very thorough job of cleaning up after the project was completed. But what really stood out was the building inspector's comments when it came time to sell our home. The building inspector said that the roof installed by Signature was probably the nicest roof he had ever seen, and he gave them an A+ for their quality and workmanship. Our experience with Signature was so positive that when it came time to re-roof our second home, we didn't bother to get quotes from any other roofing company. Again, we found both William and George to be very professional, honest and punctual. We met with William first, who patiently took the time to walk around the house and answer all of our questions and concerns. We discussed ventilation, dry rot issues, the different types of roofing materials out there, whether or not to replace the gutters or add more insulation, and even rodent issues which other neighbors around us have had. William was very honest. He told us what we did or did not need and didn't try to push more expensive products or services with us. Both William and George were very good at responding to our emails within the same day with answers to any additional questions and concerns we had. Once the re-roofing project started, George kept us updated with daily progress reports. After the installation, they did an extremely thorough job of cleaning up. Our gardener was very impressed, stating that in the 30 years of working as a gardener, she has NEVER seen such a thorough clean-up job. Our new roof looks beautiful, and we are extremely happy with the re-roofing job by Signature Roofing. We highly recommend them!!!"

FAQs for roofing installation & roof repair projects in Palo Alto, 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.
