"I can't put into words how amazing of a service I received from Stratus Roofing. From the office staff to the crew, they have been the most professional, honest contractors I have ever encountered. They are punctual and dedicated. They knew exactly what they were doing as the whole process was done before my deadline with excellent results. The super friendly staff explained everything thoroughly and reassured me on all of my questions. They won me over and will be recommending them to everyone I know. Just go for this company without thinking twice they are the best!! They know how to treat customers and made everything so easy for me."

"Steve was on time, absolutely professional, explained how that 'spot' was on the ceiling and how to remove it. The "leak" was an old 'stain' on the ceiling... and we needed no repairs to this roof. We asked that they check the roof yearly to ensure it remains in excellent condition.. *** Found out all good things about our home. They did the original roof in 2000... and again in 2008 as the owners had to replace all the duct work so they removed the roof to do that job. Facts a new homeowner should know!"

"It went very well. Josh is a great individual. He explained the whole process and was easy to talk to. The crew that preformed the work took care to get it right, answered questions and cleaned up after themselves everyday.. The Orange County inspector said it had been a while since had seen the roof eaves tiles right the first time."

"I hired Model City Roofing to complete a soft wash and RoofShield coating on my roof. My roof is 12 years old and was showing signs of age (mold, mildew, granule loss) and I wanted to extend it's life for as long as possible before needing a full roof replacement. The results are amazing...the roof looks brand new again. Very impressive! The crew was prompt, polite, and took great care to protect the plants and bushes around my home. Highly recommend Model City."

FAQs for roofing installation & roof repair projects in Tavares, FL

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.
