"Installed a Tilcor CF metal roofing, approximately $24K for our smallish house. The install took 4 days to complete as the shingles need to be screwed down. The crew was delight to work with and did a beautiful job. We chose to use this roofing as it has a SRI (solar reflector index) around 90; as apposed to the in the teens for standard shingles and near 20 for solar shingles. We have already notice the effect. We have used Above All in the past and would not hesitate to use them again. Highly recommended."

"Trinity did an outstanding job from start to finish. Will Collins convinced our insurance company that we had a legitimate claim. The roofing crew showed up on time, tore off and replaced the shingles in one day, and cleaned up well. The supervisor Chad followed up with a final inspection. The office people were always professional to deal with."

"They sent out a crew to check the next day. The guys that came out were on time and very courteous (asked if they should remove shoes which I greatly appreciated). They suggested that the window seal was leaking and use a silicone sealant. If it doesn't work replace. We plan to take their advice. I called based on Angie's List reviews and was not disappointed. I would highly recommend getting an estimate from them. I cannot say anything on work completed yet but I will be calling them again if our DIY repairs don't work."

"Wow - the house looks great!  I love the ease of the new windows. They open and close so much easier and I don't have to stand on a ladder to clean them either. Our home is so much warmer with the new siding. We were able to choose our colors with Jamie's help. Bob's showroom is GREAT! We were able to see the windows and siding and roofing before we agreed tho their proposal. Everyone was so easy to work with from the salesman Jamie to the workers. Rory did such an excellent job finishing the inside trim for us too. Even the roofers were great to work with. They cleaned up every day and not a nail was left behind. I would recommend Bob's to all my friends. Like the radio says:  "Just Call Bob's" <br />"

"Lon did a great job. He was a little backed up, so we had to wait a couple of weeks. but he came when he said he was going to come. He provided us good advice on choosing a door. I know that a lot of other contractors would not have even taken this job - the walls of our back porch are old and crooked - Lon know he was going to have to do some messing around. But, he did it, and did it well. He also finished up some work on our dishwasher installation: taking out the dishwasher, removing a temporary cabinet-end, putting in the permanent piece, and re-installing the dishwasher. At the end, Lon and his helper cleaned up and took the old doors away. He was great to work with! <br />"

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

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.
