"I was very pleased with the entire process of having my roof replaced. AJB work worked with us to choose the right shingles, even giving us a list of house to see what the different shingles look like on a roof. Installation went very smoothly, and they did a great job of cleaning up after the installation. They came out promptly after the roof was completed to address a couple minor issues."

"We had an old shingle roof removed and replaced with a new metal seamless roof. We also had our chimney removed, and gutters replaced. Our project manager was very responsive and upfront about the entire process. It ended up being about 4 days of work, and photos were taken throughout the process to show any additional damages and repairs. I feel Precise did an honest, thorough, respectful and quality job. The new roof and gutters look amazing. We are very satisfied with the work."

"We called over a dozen companies to get estimates and none came out or even returned calls. Then we found housetop. They came out when they said they would and gave a fair bid. Of course we hired them and couldn't be happier. They were very professional, cleaned up after themselves, and even cleaned our gutters. We highly recommend them."

"From the first call back to the final walk through the folks at On Tops Roofing were professional and easy to work with. We had checked other roofers and had good impressions of them but decided on On Tops Roofing for multiple reasons including price and how quickly they were able to start the work. We asked for some items that weren't in the original quote and they agreed to all of our requests with no reluctance at all. The project manager was very responsive and easy to work with. The only issue I had was some wood siding was damaged when they had to pull it from the house to install step flashing. The siding was old and needed to be replaced anyway so the damage just prompted us to move that project up on our priority list. All in all, we're very happy with the work that was done and would recommend them to anyone who needs roofing work performed."

"Dave was great! He was easy to reach via phone and email. He came out to inspect our roof first (based on a few things our home inspector had noticed). He explained why fixing the flashing now would save us money in the future (it could cause larger issues), and he came over to fix it 1 week later. He did a great job, and he lives nearby - a plus for us if there are anymore issues! I'd recommend Dave to any friends in need of roof repair, and we'd certainly use him again if we have any additional issues with our roof."

"Carolina Roofing and Gutters did an excellent job! They found rot behind some of our fascia board and brought it to our attention and then repaired it at an excellent price point, same day. I really appreciate the extra lengths they went to in order to do the job right when they could have put new fascia board and gutters and we would have never known the difference. Thank you, Carolina Roofing. We will definitely call again if/when we need future work. A+."

"Recently, Southern National reached out to me and informed that my roof might need to be replaced. I setup an initial estimate, and was given a well informed breakdown and cost of what needed to be done with my roof. Brandon Blasko walked me through the whole process that Southern National had to offer, he was able to answer any question I had and was able to breakdown what the roof should cost and all the components the roof. After we talked, I was able schedule quickly. The crew arrived on time and was able to finish the roof in one day. The crew even cleaned and scanned the yard for any nails or debris. I love the new roof and I would recommend Southern National to all my friends and family."

"As far as I can tell, the roof job was done fine. I went with Allen Deans since the owner, Matt Maresh, was very professional when we met and discussed the options in detail. The main reason I went with them was that, the quote was couple grand less than the 2 other quotes I got. They did take care of all of my asks except for 2 important asks I'd insisted on. The job required and committed to, to cover all areas with tarps. There were no tarps used so it was an ugly mess to be cleaned up. I still find nails and debri in the shrubs 6 month later. As an example of the mess, my car had a flat tire 3 months after the job due to a roof nail on the driveway, probably blown there by the wind. The other commitment was to take photos of key asks that my insurance agent had asked for and this was totally missed even though I'd reminded on the first and 2nd day of job. I still think they did an overall good job with the roof itself so I suggest at least getting a quote from Allen Deans to compare with others."

"I am very happy with the service provided by Authentic Restoration. This was a very great value to me as I am an out of state landlord. I felt like they cared and did everything to help extend the extend the timeline of the roof before needing more extensive repair. Nathan was my contact and serviceman. He provided me with pictures of the work done and went the extra mile and even trimmed tree limbs sitting on the roof. I whole hardheartedly recommend you consider therm for any roofing needs."

FAQs for roofing installation & roof repair projects in Wake Forest, NC

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.
