"Originally we had no reason to complain about Heyn's response. They came immediately to replace loose shingles on the ridge lines. Then when we called about the leak in the dormer a representative came out but originally couldn't find the problem. We kept calling and after several attempts and visits they finally said they stopped the leak. No longer do we have buckets of water standing when it rains but because all this was not found originally we have water damage in the dormer, water in the walls, and mold on the ceiling. The window has condensation on the inside of the storm window at all times and now it is even on the dormer in the room next to it. When I called Aaron about this problem he claimed that because we didn't mention the situation right after the roofing job was done, they would question whether they could be held liable. We should have called them sooner. We certainly would have if we had known the sourceand had made every attempt to find it as mentioned above. Aaron ended our conversation some weeks ago stating he'd have to talk with Aaron. I've called back several time and have received no response, not even from the bookkeeper, although that's no her job. Because we do not want this mold problem to increase further we can't wait longer and have called the contractor who will take the window enclosure apart to see the extent of the damage and do the repairs. I've shared this with Heyn Bros. via a message I left for Aaron on the company phone and again no response. Finally, there is no rationale in Heyn Bros. not being responsible for the leak in the roofing when they clearly came out and fixed it after many attempts. The problem was no one knew how to identify the source of the leak. Still waiting Aaron...."

"The job was done in one day and done perfectly.   The color match was excellent.  I couldn't have asked for better quality in the product and craftsmanship. The crew arrived on time and simply went to work providing gutters exactly to my specifications.  They did a complete clean up before they left and even managed to keep my dog inside the gate.  I was happy to write them a check when they finished because I got exactly what I wanted an it looks great."

"Everything went smoothly. There was no mess to clean up and when they were done you could not even tell in the yard I had a major shingle project done.  My house had Cedar shingles and two layers of asphalt shingles that had to be removed and new roof sheeting installed.  Perfect job.  Great company."

FAQs for roofing installation & roof repair projects in Saint James, 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.
