"I called and asked them to come out for an estimate. They came that afternoon and were very honest and helpful. He and I got on the roof and he showed me that it was a very minor issue and told me how to repair it. He didn't charge me and was very upfront. This is a high integrity company with a good owner."

"I recommend Taylor Roofing. Mr. Taylor is your contact person and he knows what he's doing. My understanding is that he's been in business for a very long time, and many of his workers have been with him for years. He was very helpful with picking the right color, and he had other suggestions for things I had not thought of. I asked for and received 3 or 4 estimates back in the early spring, and then another 3 this winter. Of those 6 or 7 quotes, Mr. Taylor impressed me the most, with the added bonus of his price being the most reasonable. Two or three of the quotes were very close to being the same, so my decision came down to who I thought was most likely to do the best job. The work was done quickly and professionally, and my new roof looks great. I had short interactions with a couple of his workers, and they impressed me as knowledgeable and hard working. I am very satisfied with the work that was done and the price I paid."

"The roofing and decking work was great. The cleanup was fine. I requested that they drive their truck onto boards in the lawn to prevent making ruts in the soft lawn, which they did, even though I had to provide several of the boards. The only reason the quality was not an "A" was the vinyl siding that they removed and reattached. The siding job was effective but pretty ugly and not terribly professional. All in all, I would use them again. <br />"

"I had used this same company on my previous roofing work and in spite of a few minor difficulties, was very pleased with the result. For this reason I decided to ask Lewis & Son to do this roofing job, which was considerably more involved than the last.  This time there were no difficulties associated with the job and I am absolutely enthralled with every aspect of the work done and the final results. <br /> Shane Lewis made an appointment with me for the next morning after I called for an estimate.  He arrived on time and came into the house to sit down and find out just what my needs were.  I found him to be very personable and during our conversation he made several very helpful suggestions and educated me on several factors I should consider when doing a job of this scope.  He then climbed up on the roof, walked over the entire roof examining it and taking measurements.  When he had finished the exterior examination, he advised me of his findings and we negotiated a price for the job.  We wrote up a contract for the job and I gave him a check for 50% of the job as a down-payment.  Had I not known Shane and his company from a prior experience with the company I would have been uncomfortable with this, but my previous experience had shown the company to be reliable and trustworthy.  Since we were going to be delayed in starting the job, Shane had his roofing foreman come to our house that same day and make temporary repairs to a leak we had so that our interior ceilings would not suffer further damage. <br /> We were dealing with an unusually wet, cold, and even snowy stretch of weather while we were scheduling the job. Throughout this period, Shane maintained excellent communications with me in order to find a time that would be adequately dry and warm,  in which to accomplish the job, and would also be convenient for me. I sincerely appreciated his maintaining such good communications with me throughout this process. <br /> On the appointed day his roofing foreman and crew arrived at 8:00 AM with all their equipment and needed materials.  l was pleased to see that the equipment although not new was in an excellent state of repairs.  The roofing foreman, Paco, introduced himself and then began directing his crew about where to locate the tools and materials.  As this was going on, Shane Lewis showed up and saw that everything was going smoothly.  As soon as everything was in place, the crew began the job.  They worked until 1:00 PM and then ate lunch on the site.  After lunch they worked straight through until it was too dark to see.  They made sure the roof was adequately covered in the event of unexpected rain and then left about 6:30 PM after advising me that they would back at 7:30 AM. <br /> The next morning the roofing foreman and crew arrived right on time and began work.  They proceeded meticulously and quickly until the job was finished about 5:00 PM. Shane Lewis came by during the late morning to ask me if I was satisfied with the way the job was going and again about 5:00 PM as they were finishing the job.  Shane again got up on the roof and personally inspected the work.  As the roofing crew finished a couple of odds and ends on the job and cleaned up all the mess that had been made,  I went inside and got the final payment check and gave it to Shane.  A short time later everyone vanished as quickly as they had shown up the day the job started and not a hint remained that our home had just been reroofed.  Their clean-up was extremely thorough and not a scrap remained.  I stood out in the road and looked at my new roof feeling very pleased and confident that I could not have found a better company to do the work. <br /> <br />"

"With the job complete we now have a new roof that shows pride in workmanship; the chimney brick has been cleaned and resealed; and the chimney flashing resealed and repainted. Mike Beck gets an A+++ as the operations manager. His customer service goes above and beyond. He kept us informed of his intentions each day and gave us numerous courtesy calls. Mike and the owner, Mr. Fitzgerald, operate with utmost integrity following through with their word. The cost of the job exactly matched the estimate as Mike said that it would. <br /> The roofing part of the job was completed in 2 1/2 days. The workers were slowed down one of the days because of extreme heat. Mike often checked on his crew. In the meantime, his lead man kept the job progressing nicely. The crew was comprised of “Good ‘Ol Boys” from Alabama. When the job was complete, the area was cleaned up and nicely swept. <br /> When we discovered that the shingles we selected did not have ridge cap shingles comparable to what we currently had (3 layers of asphalt), Mike went to great lengths to find a match in another brand. Ultimately, it didn’t exist, but he came up with a compromise that in the end looked very nice. <br /> We had originally requested ridge vents, but when calculating the amount of air flow needed for the size of our house, Mike determined that we were borderline on having enough ridge line to meet the requirement. So, the existing power vents were instead replaced with new ones. <br /> While wiring the power vents in the attic, Mike lost his footing and stepped through the sheetrock putting a hole in our living room ceiling. He was quite dismayed having never done such a thing before. (This prompted us to improve the walkway in the attic). He immediately called Mr. Fitzgerald and scheduled the ceiling repair for the next workday. <br /> Mr. Fitzgerald and his son not only restored the ceiling to its like original state amazingly matching the popcorn ceiling texture, but they blessed us with additional sheetrock repairs. These guys know what they are doing when it comes to sheetrocking. They do an outstanding job taping and mudding sheetrock. They taped and mudded 5 cracks in our sheetrock and retaped and mudded a previous botched job by a different contractor. They were careful to enclose in plastic the area being repaired and to protect the floor with a covering. They vacuumed and cleaned up the work site afterwards. They did all this work for free as a favor to compensate for the inconvenience. <br /> Mr. Fitzgerald and his son also replaced a piece of metal siding near one of the eaves and they were very precise in refitting the piece. <br /> Mike power washed our chimney and let it dry properly before resealing it with Thomson’s Water Seal. He volunteered to repaint the flashing around the chimney to match the new power vent covers. <br /> We highly recommend Fitzgerald and Beck Roofing and Construction. <br />"

FAQs for roofing installation & roof repair projects in Princeton, AL

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.
