"Gunner Roofing has an excellent team that completed my house siding project. As certified installers of James Hardie, they were professional from start to finish! Andrew was extremely knowledgeable of the product and created a spectacular design and assisted w/ the financing of my project. He was always available to answer all questions. The Project Manager Anthony communicated daily with project updates and was extremely responsive to questions and addressed all concerns in a timely manner. The workers were exceptional as they always arrived early and worked late to ensure completion of the work. Really appreciated their attention to detail! I highly recommend this company!"

"This is a great company in business for over 40 years. Although it called Ken Tibbles, its now run by his son and they seem to be carrying on the tradition of good quality workmanship and professionalism. I paid a bit more than some of the other quotes I got, but I am confident this company will be around for years to come and will make good on guarantees. One thing to be wary of in a roofing company is there are many fly-by-nights that don't last the length of the materials warrantee. A 30-year shingle has little warrantee if the installer is out of business after 5 years. Ken Tibbles roofing has four decades of track record and I would recommend them."

"<p>PLEASE READ! Mr. Long has restored our faith in contractors! We live in Charleston, SC. This area was hit by hurricane Hugo almost 25 years ago. Now many of the roofs that were put on are failing and the roofing companies are very busy. Our roof is only eight years old and we had three leaks. I had a difficult time finding someone for the repairs. They would either be extremely high with their quote, never send me a quote, or did not show up at all. I even called roofing companies that had on their voice mail they would not be doing repairs because they were too busy with full roofs.</p> <p>When I called Mr. Long he told me there were four people in front of me. I followed up with him about a week later and he came out within two days for the quote. He was very honest with us and gave us a fair price. If he takes a couple of days to get to you it is only because he has other jobs because he does good quality work. If you call someone to come and fix your house and they can be there in five minutes and start that day during this busy of a time for roofs, then what is the reason they are not busy? My point is the quality of work was worth waiting for. </p> <p>He came and worked on our home for three days. He did a really good job, it rained yesterday and so far no leaks! Also I would like to mention that the last day he was here I left to run an errand and I was in a very bad car accident six months pregnant. I received a message on my phone from him when he was finished that night, he was sincerely worried about me and the baby and just wanted to know if we were ok. He did not even care about payment since it was his last day, he was only worried about our welfare. He is a truly nice and caring person and he will be working on our home from now on. He will also be the person I recommend to everyone. My husband and I are very grateful for such a great contractor. Thank you for reading I hope this helps you when choosing a contractor!</p> <br />"

"Simply put: I cannot say enough good about my first experience with BEST Contracting. When my roof was damaged by weather, Jeremy of BEST was there to help me to navigate the journey to a replacement roof, from the initial estimate to working with the insurance company and through the installation and follow-up. I now have 50 year shingles, a great looking roof, and I know that my guarantee is backed by BEST. BEST showed up at my house at 8:00 a.m. on the scheduled day for work, and by late afternoon had stripped off the old asphalt shingles, installed the new ones, cleaned up thoroughly around the house, and removed all of their equipment. I had always expected that getting a new roof would imply a few days of inconvenience, but there wasn’t even a moment of that. By the time I returned home from work, the job was done, my driveway was open, and the roof made the entire house look like new. In the month following, I found not a single roofing nail or fragment of torn shingle in my gardens or lawn. A few days after the job was completed, a representative from BEST came by to inspect the work, to ensure that the job site had been properly cleaned up, and to double-check with me to confirm my satisfaction with the entire process of getting a new roof installed. Jeremy was accessible by phone and email, and all communications were clear throughout the process. Never was there any pressure to upgrade or add to the project, and Jeremy showed an obvious intent of doing the job to the customer’s satisfaction. At no point in the entire process were there any surprises; everything went exactly as Jeremy said they would, and in my case, the estimate was identical to the invoice. This company is the very definition of PROFESSIONAL. I enthusiastically recommend their work."

"Working with Leeland's was a great experience. I had a significant leak in my slate roof and the service appointment was scheduled very quickly. It was explained to me that the way they perform the repair and maintenance jobs was to have me pre-authorize $800 worth of work (time and materials) and if it went over that they would write up a separate estimate. If it was less they would only charge me for the actual work performed. The roofer showed up on time and was very professional. He was onsite for maybe 4 to 5 hours. The leak was fixed that day and 15 other slates that were missing or damaged were also repaired. He took photos of everything that was done - before and after and they were emailed to me in a PDF file later that week. Also included in the email was three estimates for other areas on the roof that need attention. I am planning on having them out to perform general maintenance on the roof every year. Total cost of all repairs was $400. <br />"

"Mr. Haas identified problems in our roof installation and issued a report. He suggested re-install and steps that we should take to get it done. It was a long process that involved county and DPOR. Mr. Haas was very helpful every step during the entire process. He is highly experienced and very responsive to our calls, text, and email. We eventually got the roof reinstalled in a very good quality. Mr. Haas was onsite multiple times to ensure the right materials and methods were used. It would not be possible without the help from Mr. Haas."

"Once they got started it was all hands on deck! There were at least three carpenters on site for over three weeks including Saturdays. I I had purchased a cottage next to mine and I wanted to connect the two. Kyle Felder surveyed the situation and came up with a creative way to connect the cottages. It was a tricky proposition. But, it came out superbly. Next, they gutted the cottage to the studs and completely rebuilt it. Mr. Felder gathered the key professionals together and we came up with a plan to reconfigure the previous layout. By gathering the plumber, electrician and carpenters at one meeting, mistakes were avoided. The carpenters did excellent work. This building is close to 70 yrs. old so nothing was true. They were able to work around difficult angles and make it look beautiful. I’m a woman who asks lots of questions. Everyone was patient with me and answered all my questions. No upfront money was asked for. I paid 20% about two weeks into it. The final payment was made after all work was completed!"

"<p>We had a very bad communication problem.   I gave him a $600.00 deposit and he never got back to me except to tell me he would be there on Saturday(three Saturdays in a row) which he never showed.  He said he was having phone problems.  When he finally came his work was great.  He did everything I needed done and a little more. He dose very good work and I was very  happy with the results.  I think after this he will be better with his customer communication skills</p> <br />"

FAQs for roofing installation & roof repair projects in Potsdam, NY

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.
