"My house was built in 1920, and I've had issues with hot spots from the attic, and condensation on the ceiling of my bathroom in the summer, for several years. I called Stuart to take a look, and it turned out that my attic only had one vent, near an eave, so no air flow for air to vent from the attic. Stuart suggested ridge line vents, and his quote was reasonable. The vents were installed yesterday, and I can already tell a difference. Stuart and his crew did a great job, completely cleaned up after the job, and he even took a storm door off for me that was literally hanging by a hinge, just to be helpful. I highly recommend this company and will call them next time I need anything roofing-related."

He and I got on the roof and he showed me that it was a very minor issue and told me how to repair it. He didn't charge me and was very upfront. This is a high integrity company with a good owner."

"I recommend Taylor Roofing. Mr. Taylor is your contact person and he knows what he's doing. My understanding is that he's been in business for a very long time, and many of his workers have been with him for years. He was very helpful with picking the right color, and he had other suggestions for things I had not thought of. I asked for and received 3 or 4 estimates back in the early spring, and then another 3 this winter. Of those 6 or 7 quotes, Mr. Taylor impressed me the most, with the added bonus of his price being the most reasonable. Two or three of the quotes were very close to being the same, so my decision came down to who I thought was most likely to do the best job. The work was done quickly and professionally, and my new roof looks great. I had short interactions with a couple of his workers, and they impressed me as knowledgeable and hard working. I am very satisfied with the work that was done and the price I paid."

"We used Thompson Roofing and Construction for gutter repair / adjustment and splash guard installation last week. They came out and completed the job successfully and in a timely manner from when we were given a free estimate. I was not exactly sure what we needed to have done that would sufficiently fix our problem. Jason was very knowledgeable and explained the options well. We feel we received excellent service for at a fair price!"

"The roofing and decking work was great. The cleanup was fine. I requested that they drive their truck onto boards in the lawn to prevent making ruts in the soft lawn, which they did, even though I had to provide several of the boards. The only reason the quality was not an "A" was the vinyl siding that they removed and reattached. The siding job was effective but pretty ugly and not terribly professional. All in all, I would use them again. <br />"

"Owner provides fast response from estimates, to having supplies delivered, and getting workers to begin job immediately.   <br>The roofing crew we had were unbelievably hard workers. In our case they added support to carport to correct what should probably have been done at initial build years ago.  They used quality materials and spent a lot of time making aesthetics as good as structural soundness. They worked everyday from start to finish of job, no days without workers til all complete.  <br>Workers very polite and proud of their work, pointing out features they installed to show us how sound our new carport will be now.  <br>Excellent job on cleanup too, and they had a lot to dispose of on previously decayed structure.  <br> <br>We feel this company wants your business, and is responsive, fair priced, and hard working enough to earn it. "

FAQs for roofing installation & roof repair projects in Decatur, AL

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.
