"Excellent work! At least 1/3 of my roof on the north side had a great deal of moss on it. On much of the rest of the roof there were small amounts of moss along the bottom edge of shingles, and there were patches in scattered places on the main part of the shingles. After Hector and his son cleaned the roof, it looked brand new. They removed plants and furniture from our deck before the job and replaced them after the job. They even did a light washing of the vinyl siding of the house, which was outside the agreed-upon scope of work, but they did not charge me for it. As a former member of a site safety office in a then-Fortune 50 company, I was particularly impressed with the excellent precautions they took to insure their safety on the roof during the job. Hector’s 27+ years of experience was evident in every aspect of the job. I plan to bring him back in a year for annual maintenance. I definitely recommend No More Dirty Roofs to any home owner needing roof cleaning."

"My wife and I were very pleased with Chase Roofing. Mike, the sales person, came out and explained all available options. I had already did some research and had decided to go with GAF products. I knew that Chase was a GAF Master Elite contractor and I can see why now. We decided on the roofing products (HDZ Architectural Shingles) and a date was set for replacement. The roof crew started a little before 7:30 and were done by 6 pm after a very good clean-up of my property. The 7-man crew worked professionally and did not seem hurried. I like professionals that take their time. The onsite foreman happily and patiently answered all my questions throughout the day (I had taken the day off so I walked outside every hour to get an update). I had some damaged wood and he explained how it probably happened and how the current install would protect against that type of damage. Bill, the inspector, came out during the install and then came out the day after completion to go over the install with me. He answered my questions and I felt that he really wanted to make sure i was happy with the work...I was. My roof looks great. I would definitely use Chase Roofing in the future. The total price may seem a bit high but for the quality of materials and workmanship, it is definitely worth it. As reference, I have a 1400 sq ft rancher. Check your insurance; my company covered a prorated portion of my replacement which surprised me because my original roof was a 26 year old 3-tabber."

"My elderly mother needed the roof replaced on my deceased father’s detached workshop, but the first contractor we found through Angie’s List took her twenty-five-hundred-dollar deposit and never performed the work, blaming their failure on Covid before eventually going out of business (we never did get her money back). Obviously, we were very skittish during our second attempt to find an honest and trustworthy contractor with the necessary skills to properly tackle the job. On top of that, the damage to the roof had become severe with a gaping hole developing through the shingles and plywood. We got quotes from a couple different companies, and ASAP stood out, not because of their pricing (which was very competitive), but because as a father and son team, Jack and Chris were sensitive to my mom’s plight. First, in the initial site visit to work up the quote, Jack smelled a natural gas leak coming from the hot water heater as we walked through the utility room of the house. Not sure how long it had existed, as no one else noticed it, but I was able to verify the leak with soapy water and fixed it immediately after Jack left. Once we selected ASAP for the project, Chris offered to come out and patch the hole in the workshop’s roof until the materials arrived and the install could be scheduled. But aside from the speedy progress and quality installation, it was the respect and kindness with which they treated my mom that mattered the most. Never once were her questions or concerns during the job treated as a burden, and her small requests, clearly outside the project’s scope, were handled quickly and cheerfully. We were so impressed with ASAP, that after the roof work, we approved all new T-111 siding and windows for the workshop. When that was done, she signed off on the demolition of the old, dilapidated wooden privacy fence surrounding the backyard, and approved the installation of its replacement. Since that went so well, she decided to have ASAP replace the 30-year-old backyard deck too, and now we’re waiting for materials to come in so the guys can replace the front bay window. Finally, there’s a recently developed roof leak above the den that ASAP is investigating, and I’m certain that if roof work for the house is required, ASAP Construction will get it done."

"Originally I wanted both storm door and exterior door replaced. Mr. Hartmann was honest and informed me that the exterior door was fine and did not need replacement. (Another company I had out wanted to charge me for both doors and quoted me 1650.00). Mr. Hartman arrived on time with his crew and work quickly and professionally and replace the door and threshold and insulated, cthe job done was outstanding. When I get ready to replace my back storm door they will be the ones I call."

"We asked for quotes from several providers as we knew we had an old roof.  Scott (the owner of SB Roofing) was the only one who responded quickly and more than answered all our questions.  He was able to give us several options, explain those options and work within our budget and our needs.  We were able to schedule a date that met our schedules and we have a fabulous new roof and gutter system! <br />"

"Miguel and Carolina are the absolute BEST! I have never had such a perfect paint job. They use the best quality paint, always on time and finished the job within the timeline. Every day they cleaned up and were extremely organized. They also had the best price! I will only use this company moving forward for my repairs. Great job Miguel and Carolina!"

"Outstanding. Despite a very busy schedule Mr. Beck was able to stop by for an estimate on his way home from work. He discovered that a nail was causing the roof leak and removed it. He also fixed some of the vinyl siding while he was up on the ladder. He did not charge for his services. You don't see this every day. I will call him for all my future roofing issues. I appreciated his time."

FAQs for roofing installation & roof repair projects in Portsmouth, VA

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.
