"After obtaining several estimates we hire Greater Boston roofing, this is one of the best companies to work with. Throughout the initial bidding process, we were impressed by the professionalism of Mr. Michael Weiss. He answered all our questions, educated us on roofing specifics and gave us the confidence to make one of the biggest single purchases one makes in a lifetime. The crew was professional, polite, cleaned the job site completely and gave us a beautiful new roof. We're most appreciative of their work and the results. Site supervisor was extremely polite and helpful. We are delighted we chose your company and would recommend you highly to anyone in need of a new roof installed to the highest standards. If you need roofing or siding this is the place to call."

"Great job by all the men involved. I’m tired of the waiting and not showing up. REI roofing was there when they said they would be and did a fantastic. They even went the extra mile to do things right at no extra cost! They are the best at what they do! And I would have them back in a moment. Unfortunately their repairs are so good I probably won’t see them for 20 to 30 years. That makes me sad.?"

"This is the 2nd time working with Durable Remodeling for a roof. This time it was my parents house that needed the roof. Dean came to the house and worked with my parents. The price was very reasonable to replace the entire roof, plywood, shingles and gutters, etc. The crew showed up tight on time and worked for over 12 hrs. They came back a few days later to install the gutters. Very good work. My parents are very pleased and relieved that its done. Communication was perfect. Dean responds very quickly to any questions and concerns you have. I highly recommend and would hire again"

"We are thrilled with the deck and working with Bill. Right from the start or requesting a quote, Bill was timely, professional and informative. He fully explained how to repair/resurface our deck and provided an estimate shortly after. Weather delays required adjusting our schedule; Bill kept us informed and managed the job and our expectations. The quality of work is great. He and his team were neat and tidy and the phasing of work considered our needs. I will hire Bill for another project in a heart-beat!"

"There was not one thing that I can provide a negative comment on. It was a 5 out of 5 star performance. We were given the addresses of houses that were done by the contractor that had the colors we were interested in. So we did our home work. WE were initially going to install the Certain Teed siding but for a number of reason we paid the extra  and when with the shingles. It was money well spent. <br />"

"They made the process so easy! Pricing was done quickly and was the lowest price we got. The work was done in a timely manner. The lifetime shingle repair and 10 year labor warranty that they provide is a no brainer!"

"Excellent. Gibbs was very professional and courteous. Despite having a roof shingle that was about 13 years old and the original manufacturer no longer in business, they were able to match the color and style of shingle to another manufacture's line. There was no discernable difference to our original shingles. <br />"

FAQs for roofing installation & roof repair projects in Rochester, 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.
