"Extremely well. House was always protected from any damage due to shingle removal. Crew was polite with good work ethics. Always punctual and always informed what portion of the job was going to be accomplished that day. The ladders and roofing supplies were always stowed away at the end of the work day. Clean up of debris and nails was done throughout the job. All nails were removed with a large magnetic tool throughout the day and before the crew left for the day. The number and type of crew required for the job was very well coordinated."

"We hired superior roofing to install a brand new roof as our 30 year old roof was tired and was losing more and more shingles with every storm. Their price was competitive and the new shingles are good for 50 years! Our roof was completed from start to finish in one day! It looks fantastic, I chose my shingle color from quite a variety of choices and I couldn’t be happier. Since this was done in December, they told me to call in the Spring and they will do a second round of yard clean up to make sure it’s clean and safe. I would highly recommend Superior Roofing!"

"I expected to use GAF shingles and their website included Roof Pros among their list of GAF Master Certified installers. Researching Roof Pros showed that they are accredited by the BBB, have proper licensing and insurance documents, and are members of  a professional organization (National Roofing Contractors Association). An appointment was made and Kevin Law visited to evaluate the job. He was thorough in reviewing the roof structure so as to anticipate potential problems ahead of the actual work. He described how a crew would descend on the house around 7:00 am and would be finished the same day! After taking measurement he estimated  the job's cost. He also invited us to visit a job site that was to begin the following week so as to see how the roofing crew worked. After seeing how smoothly it was going, considering that the price seemed reasonable, and that Roof Pros provides a 10-year warranty, we signed a contract for the job. There was to be no payment until the job was completed, at which point 100% was to be paid. <br /> The work went exactly as expected. The crew arrived at 7:00 am and were done, including a very thorough cleanup, at 2:30. The work flow was extremely smooth and well synchronized. Large sheets were run from the roof to the ground to control the flow of debris so that there was minimal damage to shrubbery. Some rot was found in the small roof above the house's entryway. They went to a local lumber yard, purchased plywood, and sized it to cover the existing wood with the plywood. The only slight downside to the process was my having to lay out lots of plastic sheeting to protect items stored in my attic: there are gaps in the rough boards that make up the roof decking and it was anticipated that bits of the old shingles would find their way down to the attic. <br /> A job very well done and relatively painless since it involved only 1 day of actual work. <br />"

"I don't give 5/5 stars on a review often, but I was extremely impressed with the work LR Higgins did on a water damage project on my house and would not hesitate to hire them again. Dean was our project manager and did an excellent job. We had damage internally from water that had seeped behind our siding which resulted in deck rot (because flashing wasn't previously applied correctly) and internal wall damage in the basement. The 3-man team that worked on the project was detail-oriented and focused on doing the job "right" rather than doing it quickly (which I greatly appreciated) but also did their best to make the exterior work blend and match the rest of the siding so it would not stand out like a sore thumb. The cost was reasonable for the work done and I felt like the work was high quality. I had unsuccessfully contacted 3 other companies for estimates before contacting LR Higgins and either wouldn't get my calls returned or they didn't show up for the estimate. Eric Higgins was very responsive via email, called me back after I left my first message about the issue, and I was in contact with him via email several times during the project. He always responded. I would definitely recommend this contractor group and use them again for work on my house."

"Willie and his crew were outstanding from start to finish. I initially called him because of the wonderful Angie's list reviews I saw and they are absolutely correct. We waited about a week to have Willie come to the house to do an estimate because I was so so impressed with what I saw in the reviews. The wait was well worth waiting for. Willie Quinn was totally straightforward and helpful throughout the estimation process. The estimate he gave us was not the lowest or the highest -- it was the best. We were so pleased to be able to do business with Paradigm Windows which is a local Portland Maine company. Willie brought samples of the windows, did a great job of presenting the windows using them. He recommended that we go to Paradigm Windows in Portland ME to speak with their representative and see the operation there, which we did and it was very impressive. Willie has been totally responsive with answers to every question we've asked him. The windows we ordered were installed at least a week ahead of schedule and we are thrilled. with the result. His team of two which is obviously one of a number of teams they have arrived on time at 8:15 this morning. His Dad Dennis, who started the company went over everything the two man crew needed to know. Willie had already told us that his crews have been with him for a lot of years The two guys who did our window work were outstanding -- very easy to have in our house, helpful and just excellent workmen. They did a terrific job with the windows, some of which required a lot of work because our window openings were not totally on square. I would highly recommend Quinn's installations for windows and since they also do siding and roofing I am sure they are as good at that."

FAQs for roofing installation & roof repair projects in Portland, ME

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.
