"Steve was easy to work with. His quote was reasonable and he was able to complete the work shortly after the quote. His team was extremely hard working; they removed the old shingles and felt and totally replaced the roof within one day. They thoroughly cleaned up after themselves."

"We asked for bids from a couple companies, and received a written bid for the services less than 48 hours later. After comparing the quality of Martinez's work (from other reviews here and elsewhere), we decided to go with them. <br /> They met with us (at our choice of time and location), brought many different samples of shingles for us to pick our favorite color/pattern, and when we didn't have a real strong opinion, advised us what 'most' people did, so as not to stick out unnecessarily. <br /> This job was on a home that we weren't living in yet (the roof replacement was part of the remedy request at contract time, and we split the cost with the seller), and I had asked to be alerted when they scheduled a day with the seller to replace the roof itself, just to get a peek at it as it was going up. I didn't hear back on that, just got a picture of it from our Realtor when it was done. <br /> The roof itself went up quickly, exactly as priced in the quote, and we've gotten compliments from folks who have visited how nice it looks. No damage to the home, no unexpected costs, great product. They were also comfortable with being paid at closing (some other companies required payment up front, which can be a pain and a bit of a risk, in case the deal falls through). <br /> Highly recommended, and have already told a few friends to go get a quote from them, when needing roof work done. <br />"

"They did a great job. The lead person took lots of time to answer any and all of my questions while going over the estimate and during construction. I was never pressured to make a decision on materials or to hire them for the project. Only took 1-1/2 days for the entire project. They were always courteous and friendly and worked very well together as a team. The finished roof looks really nice. They had huge dropcloths to help catch the old roof material, besides the dumpster, and removed the debris from each area as they finished with it.  The clean up was awesome. Haven't found any stray nails at all. I would definitely recommend them for any roofing needs. <br />"

"Our "only" negative comment about Ground Zero Shelters is that they do not come to a persons residence to give the sales pitch and demonstration. You must go to their showroom or see their product at a home show. This being said, we were extremely happy with the sales experience, reminders and installation of our shelter. They called about 10 days prior to the installation for a reminder, their installers called the day before and the morning of the installation to remind us that they would be at our home at the designated time. They showed up as promised and were completed with the installation in less than 1 1/2 hours time! Thank you Ground Zero!"

"Marc always does a professional job on our repairs. He is prompt and courteous. We have been using him for the past four or so years. Our latest issue is a leaking roof, which he will be replacing in the near future. He gave us a very thorough verbal estimate, and explained what was happening and how to prevent it in the future. <br />"

"Great. Jon was very professional and honest about potential damage that could occur from removing sunken screws from the decking so I knew what to expect in the event that it happened (which it didn't). He was also up front about needing to reschedule several days in advance (versus the day before or day of) since the weather had delayed the completion of his already active projects. He did a great job with the repair, cleaned up after he was finished and was reasonable in his pricing. I would definitely hire him again."

FAQs for roofing installation & roof repair projects in Solon, IA

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.
