"We just had Duncan Enterprises perform major work to salvage and repair our 19 year old nearly 50’ long covered front porch. The porch was in serious risk of collapse since support posts were rotting below ground and the porch was separating and shifting in opposite directions. Before getting into the review, a quick statement for the purpose of transparency. No compensation of any kind was provided for this review. Before connecting with Duncan Enterprises, another contractor consulted was only willing to quote demolition and construction of a new porch. For a variety of reasons (including financial), I wanted it repaired rather than rebuilt. Given that background about the magnitude of the job to be done, I have a number of thoughts and observations about Duncan Enterprises, their employees, and their workmanship and quality. I was EXTREMELY impressed by the quality and workmanship of their work! The intermediate and final product looked cleanly constructed and very sturdy and robust. They used heavy-duty bracing, bracketing, and joining materials leaving me very comfortable that the deck is sturdier now that they’ve finished repairing it than it was when it was originally built. The level of expertise and ingenuity that Duncan possesses was on display with this project. The way the porch was coming apart while supporting the overhead roof made it very difficult to address any one issue individually. Nonetheless, Duncan came up with an approach to safely and effectively work through and correct the root causes of the problems. Another thing that impressed me was how careful the entire team was with our property. There was no damage to anything else they were working on or near. Furthermore, they kept the work area as clean as possible and even went to the extremes of trying to prevent tracking any mud on the porch even though they were working in the mud and snow beneath and around the porch. They always cleaned up the work area at the end of the day and kept everything neatly organized. Duncan has a high-quality team of hard-working employees that were always focused on getting the work done. Unfortunately, they had some extreme weather (cold and snow) conditions to work in during our project, but they worked through it nonetheless. They came and worked even on days that I thought would likely be unworkable due to the snow and rain. In short, they were very hard working and reliable. Another area where I was pleased was the level of communication. I felt “in the loop” during the whole process from quoting to project completion. On site, they were very good about describing and pointing out the issues and options. Throughout the whole process, they checked to make sure that they were meeting or exceeding our expectations. To summarize, I highly recommend Duncan Enterprises for all the reasons I’ve mentioned above. The did an excellent job for us, and I am thoroughly pleased with the final product. We will certainly use them again when the need arises."

"Travis was very responsive. I hired him to repair a number of items on a house I recently bought, from patching cracks in the chimney to venting my dryer to an exterior wall to replacing handrails and baseboards. I needed drywall repair as well, which he does not do, but he had someone come in, who did an excellent job. His communication was excellent, and the jobs were done in a timely fashion. Would definitely recommend and use again."

"Glenn and the Shenandoah Home Improvements team that replaced our roof were wonderful! The price was way below the competitors in the area for the same product! Glenn was professional, courteous, and called/follow-up as per our discussion. The roof was completed ahead of schedule and looks wonderful. The warranty is great and I feel confident if there was an issue with the roof, Glenn would make it right. We will definitely be calling them again for additional work we may need! I highly recommend them!"

"From start to finish NRV Roofing performed in a professional and customer oriented fashion. Both their proposal and contract were clear, concise and accurate minimizing "lawyer-ese." As proposed, their performance was timely, within estimated cost, and true to delivery of material specifications. The manager owners and office staff were most helpful in explaining their service options. Their crew was courteous, efficient and considerate. At the end of the project, the clean-up crew did an outstanding job retrieving all manner of material and debris. We highly recommend NRV Roofing to any prospective customers."

"They were responded within a day for the repair work. Then they were very flexible in making schedule considering my availability, there work load and the weather. Once scheduled they arrived on time with all materials, tools and a sufficient crew to complete the new roof in 1 and 3/4 days. (Original schedule was for 3 days.) Cleanup was nearly perfect (I only found 4 nails after they left). They provide a warranty on there work in addition to the warranty which comes with the new shingles. The only negative was the cost which was a bit high but fully acceptable for the excellent service they provided"

"They took off all the shingles on the house and put on a new metal roof. They are a really nice crew and I wouldn't hesitate to hire them again. The quality is excellent and the site was clean everyday. I think it took them about four or five days to complete the job."

"The crew that was onsite during the renovation was great as well. They always kept the site clean and was respectful when asked questions about the process. They were also very knowledgeable about construction and codes to make the house very sound. The house is around eighty years old and with the work they have done I can see it being around another eighty or more. The office staff was always willing to help with any questions or concerns we had and would promptly respond if they could not answer right then. Working with Dollman Construction was one of the best choices we made. People do not even recognize the house now that it is complete they did such a great job."

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

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.
