"I hired Beyer Builders earlier this year for total remodeling of my master bathroom and partial remodeling of another bathroom. I wanted a doorless walk-in shower that would be easy to clean. John Beyer suggested the Onyx product for the entire shower, which has turned out to be perfect. In the other bathroom, he installed an Onyx surround over a new cast iron tub. The plumbers told me that most builders don't install cast iron tubs any more because of the weight, but John knew that I wanted quality materials. Both bathrooms are now as beautiful as I hoped they would be. In addition, I asked Beyer Builders to replace two wooden decks at my house. Looking for a low maintenance option, I decided on Azek decking material. The original framing was still in good shape, so Beyer Builders replaced only the decking to save me some money. I also asked Beyer Builders to do some smaller jobs, including completing a baseboard replacement project in the house and repairing some siding. I asked John Beyer if he could suggest a company to asphalt my gravel driveway. I make an appointment for the asphalt company representative to come look at the driveway and John surprised me by showing up to see what the person was going to say. When the asphalt person asked if I had any place to dump fill that would result from some excavation that would be necessary, John even knew of someone up the road who was willing to take the fill, which saved me the cost of having it hauled it away. The driveway turned out beautifully. My husband hired Beyer Builders in 2016 to replace the front door and retile the entryway. That turned out so well that when I was looking for someone to hire for this year's projects, I thought first of Beyer Builders. I trust John and Sharon Beyer completely to help me out with any home improvement or repair projects. They understood my desire to make changes to cut back on maintenance. They, their workers, and their subcontractors, such as plumbers, tilers, and painters, do quality work."

"Martin wrote up our quotes on the spot and explained each line item. Really appreciated that he doesn’t just quote the jobs, he works them with his crew as well. He designed the job to best serve our needs, which included eliminating our old vents and installing a more efficient ridge vent system. He kept me informed as to timeline and, once on the job, the guys were efficient, took care to protect our property, and did a phenomenal job on the roofs. There was one small issue on a drip guard, and they came back and re-did it to make sure that we were 100% happy with the job - and we are. The roofs look fabulous and I would recommend DT to anyone (and already have)!"

"The project went great. The crew showed up on time and completed the entire project in one day. The crew worked very well together and each member worked really hard but seamed to enjoy themselves. The project didn't have any snags or surprises. The crew left with the area looking like they were never there. Great job and highly recommended."

"Scott, the salesman, was very nice when he came out. He explained the cheaper windows to me, but also explained the benefit of triple pane, which I decided to go with in the end. They look much nicer than my old windows, working well beyond my initial expectations on the first heating bill. The trim work was flawless. Danny and the crew were courteous and clean. The office staff was also very helpful. <br /> <br /> They completed my roof a year ago, just finished up with my windows, and just I will be calling them back in the future for new siding and gutters. It's been truly great to work with them."

FAQs for roofing installation & roof repair projects in Seward, IL

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.
