"I have used Preaux Roofing several times. After getting 3 estimates I decided to go with Preaux roofing for repairs to an old roof. Their quote was almost identical to another company, and I went with them as I felt more comfortable. I did not get estimates when it was time to replace the roof, as I was very pleased with the service provided. IAny concerns about the old roof, and they were always at the house in a day or 2 at the latest. And then about 3 years later to replace the old roof. Preaux Roofing showed up on the scheduled day and completed the job in a timely manner. They cleaned up after completing the job. The new roof has been leak free. I would definitely use them again and recommend Preaux Roofing."

"After receiving an estimate for over $5000.00, Ray assured me that there was absolutely nothing wrong with my roof. No missing shingles etc. He really put my mind at ease. It really makes me sick, knowing there are companies out there, thay take advantage of people, especially after a major hurricane. My roof is only 6 years old, and the estimate from the other cimoany, that I did report, was for putting new shingles over the exsisting shingles. My question is, WHY?? So, thank you Ray for being one of the good guys. People need to kniw that people like you are there for us as we try and rebuild, after Hurricane Florence."

"Repairs to my Mother's roof were good, survived a 4 inch rain fall in two hours. The work on the workshop went very well. It started to rain about an hour before completion of the job but the guys kept on working and finished. The temperature had dropped a lot but they kept right on until the job was done. In the dark and rain they cleaned up the site very well."

"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!"

"roofing was completed on time, was very messy and parts of the roof had humps in it.. contractor failed to correct the problem and blamed it on the builder... totally unacceptable, the quality manager was very rude and unprofessional with no PEOPLE skills.

 Siding at the second property took too long and the trim didn't look professionally done. had to call them out to bring back some siding as a back up.
at Both locations they took back all the shingles and siding my insurance company paid for ,they should leave all that behind unless asked."

FAQs for roofing installation & roof repair projects in Sunset, LA

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.
