"I had interviewed 2 other roofers but these guys impressed me. The actual work was even better! I’m expecting to be dry for the rest of my life. They left and the only sign that they had been here was the nicest roof in the neighborhood. You need these guys!"

"What a tremendous experience with a tremendous company! We needed a new roof but wanted to wait until this spring to have it installed. We had seen a BUCCOs truck in a nearby street and decided to check them out! All it took was one phone call to realize that this was a truly first class company-- PROFESSIONAL in all caps deserved! Everyone we encountered our Buccos Roofing experience shined in their gargantuan efforts to make sure that we were pleased! Amazing Sam Felicetti worked tirelessly with us to help us select exactly what we needed to protect and enhance our home. He listened to our life plans and helped us determine what improvements to make and which were unnecessary. He mailed a true sized shingle sample to us when we had trouble determining roofing color. Mike Davidson, our outstanding project manager, continued to astound us as he made sure we received lots of helpful information on what to expect and how best to prepare. Any question or concern was immediately addressed. Even on weekends! WHO does that?! Our install date was right on schedule! The crew of installers were expert, hard working and polite. When our bay window roof portions proved tricky, Mike decided to bring in a specialty team to complete that part of the installation. The roof & new skylight look great! This company cared for our home and property as if it were their own. Not a single hitch-- not a single negative. How often does that happen?! WOW!"

"The job went very well. Jason and his crew were very professional and thorough, and very friendly as well. Easy to deal with. We love the work they did. Jason was very meticulous. He does magnificent work. We had Jason do our roof several years ago and were familiar with his work. He was the only one we called this time. We didn't even consider anyone else. We highly recommend Pearce Remodeling for your siding and roofing."

"Went well, he took off the old shingles, replaced the boards underneath, and sealed and replaced with new shingles. He also fixed, rerouted the gutter draining in that area. He cleaned our gutters in the back, and cleaned up all the mess after. He was very pleasant and knowledgeable about old houses and their needs."

"Dan and his team did an excellent job replacing our roof. They were here early and worked hard through out the day to get our roof done. They were very mindful of how they replaced the roof with impending storms and my neighbors noticed since other roofs in the neighborhood were being ripped down all at once. The crew did an excellent job in clean up which I appreciated with small children and animals. The price was on point, the work was excellent and I would highly recommend them again to anyone who needs a roof replaced"

"Every step of working with Mike Whalen, his son Sean, and his company was absolutely AWESOME! I sent them a message through their website and they called and came out to give us a quote the next day! I was super impressed with their punctuality and knowledge at this point. Mike got a quote back to us in a few days, we discussed and decided we wanted to change the scope of our project a bit and Mike was very patient with us through this process. He came out 1-2 more times and provided us with another quote. After we accepted he walked us through everything we needed to do to get the process started, and his guys were out a few weeks later! The project took 6 days total, Day 1 tear down, day 2 digging holes for posts, day 3 posts in and framing began, Day 4 framing finished, Day 5 deck boards went down, Day 6 railings and stairs were in and they were done! I am so amazed with the craftsmanship of the work and how much the team communicated with us throughout the project. Mike would call us every night to give the details of what had been done that day, any issues they ran into or decisions we needed to make. Being the first contractor we have worked with, I don't plan on searching for another one for our next project. Mike and his team will certainly be our first and only call! "

FAQs for roofing installation & roof repair projects in Pittsburgh, PA

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.
