"Reiter did an excellent job on the work that was performed. Two other companies told me I needed to have my entire roof replaced for considerably more money. Reiter made the roofing repairs necessary and also replaced two skylights. I will absolutely use them again for future work I need. Larry"

"My old roof (nearly 20 years old) sprang a serious leak after a a heavy rainstorm. I called Castelli Roofing the next day and the inspection was performed the day after that. I was not at all surprised to learn that the old roof was beyond repair. I promptly received an estimate for installation of a White Granulated Modified Bitumen Rubber Roof on my row house (typical South Philly style). The work was scheduled and completed within a week of my initial call to Castelli's. I was very happy and relieved that the work was done so quickly, thus preventing any further interior damage. Both the estimate and final invoice were very detailed and the final price included the installation of roof membrane vents and a new drain box. The new roof has a 15-year transferrable warranty. Also, it's energy efficient as it reflects UV rays; the temperature reduction on my second floor on a hot summer day was immediately obvious. Overall, I was very happy with Castelli's fast and excellent service and I highly recommend them to anyone finding themselves in need of of a roofing contractor."

"The guys @ Burdett Roofing are the best. We had a horrible time getting a roofer to come out to our place to complete a smaller roof replacement job. When we found someone who actually took our downpayment, they delayed the job so much (6+months) we had to ask for our check back. Even though they were busy, the Burdett crew came out and had the job completed within in a couple days. The work was great, the crew was friendly, and any time I had a question or concern, they got back to us quickly. I cant recommend them enough."

"I bought an investment property and needed to repair the roof flashing and façade trim as well as other miscellaneous work. Tom Lyons is a great communicator, clear with his ideas and suggestions and I have always found his pricing well within my expectations. His men are punctual and efficient and clean up after the job. I would highly recommend Lyons Roofing to anyone."

"We were at the point of replacing our roof and did an extensive search for a roofing company. After speaking with several companies we chose Roofing Logic, based in Quakertown, PA. Leslie, the owner, provided a very clear, informative and low-pressure presentation, offering many options based on price and type of materials available. Results were excellent and we were extremely pleased with the professional, hardworking crew, who arrived on-time and worked diligently to complete the project in a timely manner. Mike, the foreman, was on-site throughout. But the story continues. Just a few months later we were hit by a severe storm that did extensive damage to the outside of the house. Of course we called Roofing Logic back to do the work, this time including a new roof, siding, rake metals, fascia, soffit, gutters and downspouts. Again the results were excellent. We especially appreciated Leslie and Mike making several trips to assess our damage and helping us work with the insurance company to ensure that all damages were properly identified and repaired. Leslie, Mike and his entire crew are professional, on-time, thorough and extremely courteous. Our projects were completed in a timely manner and the job site was left spotless upon completion of the project. Pride in the company and crew is evident in all they do and we highly recommend Roofing Logic for high quality work at a reasonable price."

"I was struggling to find a roofing company who actually picked up the phone and/or got back to me in a timely manner. This roofing company was super responsive and timely. They were very professional through out the whole process and were super thorough with explaining the process. My roof turned out great! I would definitely recommend using east coast roofing systems!"

FAQs for roofing installation & roof repair projects in Swarthmore, 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.
