"I don't usually write reviews, but I wanted to share my excellent experience with Lifetime Roofing. Kyle came in person, discussed the job (with an impressive overlay presentation of the GAF roofing materials), and helped work out a schedule. He was clean-cut, well-spoken, and very knowledgeable. Lifetime Roofing was able to accommodate our need for a prompt roofing date, and we had our house and garage roofing finished within two weeks of that first meeting. Kyle was quick to respond to all emails, and did everything he promised exactly as promised. We were never left hanging or wondering if the job would happen as planned. The roofing materials were delivered the day before. The dumpster was in place bright and early on the roofing day. The roofing crew arrived on time, and even though it was a brutally 90+-degree hot August day, they were able to strip the one layer of old roof and install the new roof on both house and garage all in one day. They were a terrific team (men AND women): very competent, respectful, and VERY hard-working. They had the whole job done before 6pm, including a very thorough clean-up. I was totally pleased with the whole project. The roof looks terrific. Our neighbors were impressed. Any minor issues were dealt with immediately. With any roofing job, I think you have to expect some stray nails and messy chaos during the process. But I was very impressed with the care and professionalism of the roofing crew. They had an efficient, clear system, and worked beautifully together. They left everything as tidy as reasonably possible. If you're looking for quality work from a very dependable company, I highly recommend Lifetime Roofing."

"I hired Action Roofing to repair our asphalt shingled roof which was damaged in a windstorm. While Stephen was here he also repaired the flashing around our chimney and fixed a leaking skylight. It is hard to find a roofing company you can trust that is not going to charge you an arm and a leg. Stephen did an excellent job! The work was all done in less than a day. His pricing was very fair and affordable. And the work professionally done. I would highly recommend him if you are looking for honest, quality work, done by a professional. I was so impressed, I hired him for some additional work."

"Pete and his crew were fabulous! They replaced the entire roof and repaired soffit and fascia that were rotted on a 150+ year old barn, carriage house and breezeway. .Very professional, polite and courteous. The finished roof exceeded my expectations. I would use them again."

"Black Ox installed a new roof on our addition (the larger section, on right), joining it to the existing roof. They did an excellent job. Great communication, installation was done quickly and efficiently. Crew was friendly, professional and cleaned up after themselves. We had a special request for fasteners that did not show through the exposed overhangs - Tom knew what to use in this situation, and the roof looks great! Very happy."

"Roofing King showed up early in the morning to get started, had the old roofing material off in a few hours, cleaned and prepped roof, and by the end of the day, had a new roofing system installed. Great crew working together and kept up with the grounds around the house to keep the area cleaned up. After the job was done, you couldn't even tell they were there. Of the others that were out there that I talked too and seen, and some with out of this world price quotes I got, working with this local company that was recommended to check out,and seen other roofing jobs done by them, it was the best choice I made and was happy with the quote and services they provided. Thank you Roofing King!"

"Michael Wright was a phenomenal professional we worked with to accomplish our roof installation project. He was well prepared and knowledgable, educating us on all their products and services in a clear and concise way. No one else in this industry was as transparent and had the paperwork and referrals to back their stelar reputation. I've had some bad experiences with other roofing companies. So, it was immediately clear to me I was in good hands. They even communicated often with us, checking in to see if we had questions and letting us know when the products were going to be delivered. I felt confident and comfortable working with them and I would hire them again when my next roofing project comes up."

"We are new owners of an antique home and replacing the roof was the first big project on our list. The original 1800 attic of our home required a creative solution to address ventilation as a traditional ridge vent wouldn't work. We spoke with over 8 roofers and Shawn was only one of two that recognized the problem and how to solve it. Not only that, his price was fair and references were excellent. Throughout the process Shawn was great to work with. He was flexible with scheduling -- giving us time to chose the right color and was endlessly patient when we asked him for different samples to test out. He was always fast to respond and when it came time to actually replace the roof his entire team was top notch. The work was fast, professional, on time, on budget, and looks great. A++ for his carpentry team, as well, who did fantastic work. We are so happy to have found Shawn and his team and highly recommend them for any roofing projects, big or small."

FAQs for roofing installation & roof repair projects in Salem, NH

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.
