"I needed a new roof installed so I called up Greater Boston Roofing on a recommendation from a good friend. They were easy to work with, and flexible in picking a good date for the install. Job foreman Matt Hall was upfront and professional, and did an awesome job making sure I knew what was going on with the installation of the roof. I'd highly recommend this company to anyone looking for a new roof."

"Angel and his 8-person crew from Apex Roofing completed re-roofing my 4BR colonial in one day! My roof needed a lot of TLC and Apex provided it: fascia board and plywood replacement where needed, new ridge vents, skylights, and more. They even shingled my cat house at no additional charge! Professional, prompt, great communicators, excellent clean-up, fair price. Very highly recommended!"

"They did a terrific job.  They were clearly lower.  They actually did a fancier job than I even specified.  I sent out the specifications I wanted.  But to meet the 30 year guarantee for the warranty they had to even put more ice & shield on it than I felt necessary.  They just included that in their price because they wanted to meet all the requirements for the warranty, a 30 year guarantee.  They were authorized.  In other words, a roofer has to be authorized first to be able to give the guarantee you know what I’m saying.  Then the roofing company has a stringent requirement of everything that must be done.  So it was even better than I wanted.  And their price was clearly the best.  There was lower prices from other companies, who wasn't guaranteed by anybody.  You know what I'm saying.  I had like 3 more quotes than I intended.  I didn't want to annoy a lot of people.  So I contacted 3.  They were kinda slow.  So then I contacted 3 more and then all the sudden all of them came and did an estimate.  So I got 6 estimates.  Because it didn't seem like the first ones were like moving.  So anyways I got 6 estimates and they were hands down the best.  There were one or two ones slightly cheaper but they weren't gonna follow my specifications, you know what I'm sayin' and it wouldn't be guaranteed because they weren't authorized to give a guarantee.  H&R roofing met the qualifications.  I got the guarantee sent to me by the warranty company.  It's pro-rated after 15, you know.  They went above and beyond.  I'm a structural engineer and I know a lot about roofing.  So I know exactly how I want it.  And for somebody who doesn't, they don't even know what to ask for.  Just ask for I want a guarantee by the roofing manufacturer.  And then, the things they don't even know about will be done because the roofing manufacturer requires these things to be done in order to have the guarantee.  So therefore someone who doesn't know anything, the one thing they should say is I want the roof guaranteed by the roofing manufacturer and then they can step back because the roofing manufacturer looks at their supply list and the stuff that was delivered.  So therefore someone who doesn't know anything would get it done right.  I have to say there's no short coming whatsoever.  The one short coming, I mean they did their best. It was a very, very hot day and they put tarps over all the shrubs and stuff, but it was such a hot day that the tarps got so warm that they burnt the top of some of the shrubs.  It was like new growth, you know it's the Spring.  I don't know what could have been done.  The only thing that could have been done was don't do it in late Spring.  They finished it 2 weeks ago.  And the thing is I was very surprised that the shrubs were burnt.  It's something, you can't spray water on the tarps because there's a lot of crud coming down and you'd make soup you know what I'm sayin'. So I don't know what you could do to solve that.  It's a time of the year issue.  It's also the shrubs and flowers that were around.  I'd recommend them to anybody. Their price was distinctly less.  I mean some of the prices I had were almost $10,000 for the same job."

"Dempsey Roofing came out to my house the day after I called with a leak. I greatly appreciate their honesty! They told me my roof is in great shape and thus didn't try to sell me anything, instead told me it may have just been a one time thing due to the wind and the driving rain. They told me to keep an eye on it during our next storm and if I still have water coming in, then they will replace that portion of the roof."

"We are very happy with the roofs that Tom and Twin Metals installed for us--on the house and on the garage. When we asked for an estimate, we got a detailed and very fair estimate within a short time. Once we signed the contract, our project was scheduled promptly, and there was no interruption in the work until it was complete. Tom came back to inspect, and explained everything in full detail. He also brought people back to address a few minor imperfections that he noticed. We've now been through a wet winter with our new roof, and we couldn't be happier."

"emoved two layers of shingles on gambrel style house  and installed new roof with GAF quality materials, installed 4 soffit vents and even did an extra favor of touching up the paint on a few cedar shakes near the roofline! <br /> The job was done by a professional team of roofers in one day and all debris was picked up and disposed of. <br /> I highly recommend Georgoulis Roofing and construction! <br />"

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

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.
