"Estimate was given one day after I called. It was a fair price and they did not try to give me a load of BS about the type and extent of repairs needed like another company did. Job was done well and to my satisfaction. The whole team communicated well with each other and we all made certain nothing was missed. Please note; I am a single, female senior citizen. This is the 3rd home I've owned and repaired myself. I really do appreciate finding honest, reliable workmen who do not take me for a sap with an open wallet."

"I wanted a home office/man cave room built in our basement. John was able to have his team start when we agreed and the carpentry, painting, and flooring work was done extremely well. There was only one pre-existing wall so this was mostly a completely new room within a partially finished basement. We had some issues with the electrician (Gillitzer Electric) because I had specific light fixtures and electrical layouts that I wanted done. It took them several attempts to get the correct lights. If you want any light fixtures that are not standard I would recommend purchasing them yourself. Other than that everything ended up being done exactly as I wanted, but a little more expensive than I would have preferred for a single room given I did additional insulation and all of the audio-video wiring myself. This is partly on me as I opted for some more expensive ceiling tiles and solid wood doors that are not standard items. Regardless I would definitely recommend John and would hire him again."

"Excellent customer service - called at mid-morning to report my issue an left a message, Dale showed up early afternoon, indicated he was working just a few miles away, reviewed my problem and suggested a replacement to the ridge vent and replace the flashing around the plumbing vent. We agreed on a price with an open date for service. To my surprise Dale arrived the next morning with supplies and said that the work would be completed that same afternoon after they finished the job they were working on a few miles away. Work was indeed completed that afternoon. Dale also indicated that there may also be a crack in the vent pipe which may contribute to the ceiling leak, since the open top of the pipe would collect debris, rain, and snow and freezing would damage the pipe, he suggested that a vent cap would prevent debris, rain and snow from building up in the pipe and damaging it further causing more leaks. As a temporary measure, Dale arranged a vent cover with a bucket - this temporary "fix" was the solution to the leak - after more rain there were no additional leaks. I will pursue the installation of vent caps to both vent pipes. Dale certainly knew what the problem was. I would highly recommend him and his crew for any and all of your roofing needs. Professional results and complete customer satisfaction is their highest priority."

"We could not be happier with the work that Jason and the team at Fair & Square did at our home! As ours is an older house, built in the 1920's, the challenge was to add built in bookshelves and a mantel that would look like they were original to the house. To complicate things the previous owner had stained the hardwood floors with a custom stain. Fair and Square knocked it out of the park and would highly recommend for any custom work you may need."

"We weren’t planning to spend on a new roof this year but we knew we needed one. Chris S. helped us manage the spend to make new roofing possible. The roof and gutter teams were very productive and finished within a few days. Both teams cleaned up the site very quickly which was important to us. It was a very professional experience and we are very satisfied with the look and performance of the finished roofing and gutters."

FAQs for roofing installation & roof repair projects in Germantown, WI

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.
