"They were prompt and fast. Service was nice. I changed my old sink (2 bowls) for a new one (single bowl). They made all the connections and installed the garbage disposal. 2 guys came, but only one of they stayed to fix the sink, so I was charged only for one. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />"

Richards Contracting

"Mike Richards is the owner.  We had a hail storm, these guys came, got it done it one day, and it looks great.  He was good, efficient, I've called him for other things, he's always booked, and it takes it a while to get it done.  It was very reasonable because we have a huge roof.  His and the crews work ethic was great, they kept going.  He gave us a good deal.  My father used to be a contractor and was associated with Mike Richards.  I give him high ratings and would use him again in the future. "

Lowe's - Morgantown

"Had bad experience overall w/ Lowe's purchase and installation. Workers were late arriving for installation. It took all day and well into the night to install both doors. After working most of day to install first door the lead worker commented he had never installed a door like this and that second door would go quicker after installing first one. These were just standard 8-foot overhead garage doors with standard electric openers so could not believe Lowe's would send out workers who had no prior experience installing this type of door - the very same doors that Lowe's just sold us. Due to darkness and lateness we could not properly view or assess the installation until the next day - it was then we found that interior of doors had been punctured and scuffed up during installation, sealing material had not been installed around exterior edges, and one door was making excessive noise during opening and closing. Had to contact Lowe's customer service on numerous occasions before getting anyone just to come out and assess what was needed to properly complete the installation and repair damages. Did not get installers back to make repairs and adjustments until about a month after initial installation. The subcontractor owner finally came out and did the work himself - said he'd fired the original installation workers because they were incompetent and dishonest. Had to put up with all this and later found out I could have gotten the same doors (installation and openers included) at doorsonline.com for about $400 less than we paid Lowe's. Don't know who would have been sent out to install their doors but their installers certainly couldn't have been any worse. <br />"

FAQs for roofing installation & roof repair projects in Spencer, WV

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.
