"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 reviews for Roofing Logic are no joke. I can substantiate this just having my roof completed. The install was terrific. Leslie's remarkable team of workhorses and on site inspection by Mike was outstanding especially during the blistering heat. These guys came out and did a steady stream of machine like work from showing up early till final clean up. They installed all the products I had in mind for the job and Leslie added his expertise recommendations to make sure the job was done the "Old School" way ,no corner cutting, just the right way to do it. Job site manager Mike was great, approachable, patient and calm. Leslie was great from start of estimate to end of job. Wow. Communication was never broken in this process and that was most important from me. Roofing Logic deserves Angie's List super service award in my opinion. I will recommend Roofing Logic to everyone I know. Thanks Leslie."

I would definitely recommend using east coast roofing systems!"

I am a very gracious customer that would highly recommend Burdett Roofing & Exteriors to my friends, family and anyone looking for HIGH QUALITY ROOFING services!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"I used Atticrawl for one of my historically old buildings, thought raccoons where entering to the attic. the smell of death was horrendous!!!! Luckily into the incredibly thorough cleanout and removal down to the insulation they found it to be squirrels . they sealed all access points and shared photos. Fantastic customer service communications with Ryan Abraham before during and after the job! He even shared photos of the chimney seal so my husband didn't have to go on the roof !!!! FIVE STARS!!!!"

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.
