"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."

"First crew was carpenter crew, through hot and very humid conditions build new roof over front deck and prepared it for metal roofing. My design- they accomplished it and made adjustments with no problems. Found carpenter crew were professional and cared about the outcome and satisfying my wishes. <br /> Within 2 weeks the roofing crew came. They were prompt and consistent. Worked around inclement weather [afternoon thunder storms]. Found their work to be of high quality which resulted in a sharp looking metal roof. Other than a minor persistent problem, they were relentless in fixing a small leak. Same crew in-cased the chimney in vinyl stone siding, which came out beautifully. <br /> Seamless gutters with leaf-guard were also installed. Very satisfied. <br /> The work took around three and a half weeks total, not including the monsoon-type weather we were having at the time. <br /> I am very pleased with the whole project. <br /> Themoall is lucky to have found such conscientious, professional and reliable crews. I would recommend them to anyone and I have. <br /> <br />"

"I love working with the owner & all employees.  They are friendly & go out of their way to help, no matter the problem.  My bathroom is small & needed more storage space.  Dan, the owner of Loebrich's, was very helpful in finding just the right surround & fixtures to solve my problem.  The job was completed in a timely manner with little or no disruption to my personal routine.  The workers always cleaned up before departing for the day & showed up on time the next day until the job was done.  I would call Loebrich's Contracting for any job around my house, no matter how small.  They are always willing to help or find help for me.  I would highly recommend them. <br />"

"The Lamey’s are wonderful contractors! They went above and beyond in our fixer upper. Everything basically needed done in my house. From the roof to the siding. We had termite damage, which was fixed, and trees were taken down. Beautiful windows were installed and new doors. Great care was given. Do I want them to come back and do many more projects? Yes! Yes!"

"My home has a 100+ year old slate roof in disrepair and several generations of cheap fixes. I contacted Leeland's for an opinion on repairs. The inspector was extremely thorough, provided pictures, and gave me his candid opinion on the remaining life of my roof based on the condition of my slates and flashings. He ultimately wrote up an estimate to paint the rusted metal valleys, replace several dozen broken slates, repair rotted wood, and install new copper chimney flashing and a cricket. It was a difficult decision to repair vs replace the roof, but I never felt any pressure from them one way or another. I agreed to the repairs originally, but ultimately changed my mind and just decided to replace the roof. I'm sure this was a hassle to go back and forth with me, but they were very patient, and ultimately returned my deposit. I really appreciate their honesty and customer service, and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for maintenance on their slate roof. <br />"

FAQs for roofing installation & roof repair projects in State College, 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.
