"Reliable Roofing Summary: With clear conscience, I can give my highest recommendation to Reliable Roofing. I searched for more than a year, interviewing at least 6 roofers, before I found one that was honest, and presented a technically accurate view of the job. That was Reliable Roofing. As a bonus, their quote was entirely reasonable for a quality installation with quality materials. First, their communications are terrific. Reliable employs a pivot person in the office who is easily reachable by phone, returns calls promptly, and can handle most anything related to scheduling and billing. With most companies, you have to leave a voice mail on the cell phone of an overworked supervisor, running around the field, who never answers your call promptly. Not at Reliable. This communications emphasis runs through the whole operation down to the working roofers. They engaged with me fully, explaining everything they were doing, and offerd suggestions and options for, me to decide, that involved both the function and appearance of the roof and gutters. No job the size of a roof ever goes off without a hitch. The question is: what is your company prepared to do about it if there is an error. The President of the company, Abraham Gordillo, was no stranger to the worksite, and appeared regularly to inspect. They work to catch and correct any mistake on the spot, and any concern I had was rapidly and professionally taken care of. Just after the roof was complete, we had 7 inches of rainfall in two days, and I inspected every inch of the inside of the roof for leaks. I found three small drips, close to each other at the base of the chimney. The roofer who I had watched spend half a day obsessively flashing around the chimney, came out the next morning, and found that the leaks came from the top of the chimney itself and were not the fault of the roofing installation. Nevertheless, he then spent the rest of the morning fixing a problem that wasn’t Reliable’s responsibility so that, in the end, I had a completely dry attic. Which, of course, they knew was the ending I needed, and saved me hiring a chimney man. Part way through the job, I decided to change out the gutters and downspouts to larger sizes. I asked the lead roofer about it, and he got right on the phone with their gutter lead, described my job, and got a terrific quote on the spot. When the gutter men completed their job, they were short one small elbow and said they would send someone out the next day with it to finish up. The next day, the lead gutter man came by with the part, surveyed the whole job, and decided that two of the downspouts would have been more attractive in a different orientation. So, although they were completely functional, he took them down (2 stories), and rebuilt them in a more attractive way. You really do want an OCD (his words) gutter man on your job, who isn’t afraid of work. The last thing I’ll mention is overall quality of materials. I know a good deal about roofing. I had measured the thickness of the metal used by the other contractors and caught them in lies. Reliable Roofing doesn’t even have coils in the lighter 29 ga. (does meet code), but starts at 26 ga., which I wanted. The same was true of the underlayment used between the new tar paper and the steel. Top quality, tough material. Here’s what you want to know: I would hire them again in a minute! And they also do general construction work , in fact, so I may have the need to. And I’ll sleep well at night doing it, because the roof is just as quiet as an asphalt shingle roof. -Neil Brunton Satisfied Customer"

"I am very happy with my overall experience and metal roof installation from Shield Exteriors. The roofing materials were delivered around 6 am and the installers were on-site and ready to begin install at 8 am. Exactly as I had been told from the sales rep. I had to work that day and by the time I got off my roof was installed. They did a great job cleaning up after as well. The evening after my roof was installed, we experienced a several days of very heavy rain. My new roof has not leaked at all and looks great! Very happy with my investment!"

"Great service, true to their estimate and what they would do. We moved into this house and the first time it rained we found out the roof leaked. After a failed attempt to fix the roof, we called South Bend Roofing. The worker came out and showed me exactly what he would do and showed me the underlayment they would put under the shingles and up under the siding. They backed up their work and called after the job was done to make sure everything was okay. Haven't had another leak yet, even after all the rain we have had the past few days! Very happy about that."

"Exterior Arts service was very professional. The windows were special order from Anderson and because of the pandemic the fulfillment was delayed, Tom continually kept us updated on the status. When they arrived Exterior Arts installed them promptly and expertly. My house id over 150 years old so that is not an easy feat."

"I placed a call at 8:30am on Monday, July 9th. At 11am, Lee Mathew from Expert Roofing and Basement Waterproofing was at my door. He performed a thorough inspection - both inside my attic and on the roof and quickly diagnosed the cause of the leak. He provided me with photos that I can use with my builder to have a long term repair - and even took the time and materials to seal the base of the chimney (where the leak is) with sealant. Great professional service and outstanding advise on how to repair this long term. I couldn't ask for better response!"

FAQs for roofing installation & roof repair projects in Wakarusa, IN

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.
