They called with a quote and said they will be here in next day to fix the roof and they did. They repaired the roof and were very thorough we are very pleased with Sacramento and have confidence in recommending them."

"After meeting project managers and obtaining estimates from several roofing companies, we decided to have Buccos complete our roof replacement. From the first meeting to the final shingle laid we were extremely satisfied. The entire team was professional, efficient, safe and attentive to our needs. Pricing was fair and reasonable. The job was complete in 2 days and cleanup was impeccable. I highly recommend Buccos to anyone needing roof replacement or repair."

"Beware, get an inspection before paying. I'm a busy contractor that needed to a roof and siding on one of our rentals so I called Whalen. I stopped by the first day of the job and noticed no one spoke English and some shortcuts taken on the back porch roof. I spoke with Mike and he said it would be fixed. A few days later Whalen called me and said the job is finished and they emailed us the bill. I decided I better get my ladder and inspect their work just to be sure. I found tears and holes in the new shingles, flashing not installed correctly and damaged drip edges. They came back and fixed those issues and emailed us the bill again. I knew the roof had a significant amount of rotted wood so before we sent a check I asked them if the rotted wood was replaced and they said yes. I decided I should go into the attic to make sure it was replaced and it was not. They also installed the ridge vent without cutting the actual vent therefore shortening the life of the new roof due to excessive attic heat. When I spoke with Shawn Whalen he apologized and said that they subcontracted this job to some guys they had never used before and Whalen didnt bother inspecting there work. Those guys came back a total of five times and ripped up part of the new roof and fixed everything. I had a total of 5 hours of my own time inspecting and getting them to complete the job properly."

"The crew at Burns and Scalo got us out of a bind. We are a small historical society with a home on the national register. We went with a low bid for our first roof and it was a mistake. The contractor sent people who must have never put on a roof before. The roof was a total failure. Burns and Scalo was recommended to us, came out and looked at the job and re-did it. They used better materials and for the same price as the last job, meven installed a new deck. It wasn't a large job but they made us feel like we were the most important client on earth. We will never forget what Adam and the others did for us. It was amazing. This roof was put on a year ago and we have had no problems at all. I wouldn't use anyone else."

"Very impressed with responsiveness, professionalism, technology, and value provided by Gunner Roofing. The copper flashing was pulling away from around my chimney and looked like it was in need of repair or replacement. I had previously worked with another well reviewed roofing company on Angie's List that missed my scheduled appointment to examine my chimney flashing. So I was very pleased when Andrew from Gunner showed up exactly when promised, and I was quite fascinated with his use of a drone to take precise aerial photographs of the work to be performed from all angles - a rather tech savvy approach. Gunner provided a detailed estimate within hours, that was only 1/3 the cost of the estimate I ultimately received from that other roofer. Gunner Roofing completed the work on time, and did a very satisfactory job. This was a relatively modest project, but based on my experience, I hope to use Gunner Roofing when it comes time to redo my entire roof."

FAQs for roofing installation & roof repair projects in Smithton, PA

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.
