"After contacting Above All Roofing I was quickly notified by Cyle. He was very polite, professional and courteous. We agreed on a time that worked best for me and he showed up exactly when he said he would! After inspecting the roof it was determined that the missing flashing from my chimney was most likely the culprit. Within a day or 2 I was emailed a quote to fix the flashing and also a full roof replacement quote. I decided to go with the full roof replacement. Once again I contacted Cyle and he set up an appointment to meet and was once again there when he said he would be. Once the contract was signed a day was set up for installation. The crew that showed up was awesome! Chris, Cyle and the rest of the crew showed up early and did not stop at all! It was a very smooth and seamless process and any additional work that needed to be done was communicated to me. I was extremely impressed with the whole process from beginning to end. Shaun has done a tremendous job with this company and I would recommend anyone looking to have roof repairs to give Above All Roofing a call! A+! Thank you guys the house looks great!"

"Great job by all the men involved. I’m tired of the waiting and not showing up. REI roofing was there when they said they would be and did a fantastic. They even went the extra mile to do things right at no extra cost! They are the best at what they do! And I would have them back in a moment. Unfortunately their repairs are so good I probably won’t see them for 20 to 30 years. That makes me sad.?"

"I was told they would be here at 7.00am and they arrived earlier. Roof, garage and 2 skylights replaced. The roof was finished in 1 day. They did a excellent job. The clean up crew did a great job. everything was picked up in our yard. Dennis was great he checked the work before starting the roof, and also at the end of the day checked again to make sure everything was right."

"Tony showed up on time and replaced leaking flashing on two vent pipes on my roof. Quality of work was excellent and he provided pictures of repair in process and looked for any other issues while on my roof. Communication with Tony from Skyway was a refreshing change, he is very prompt to get back to you in a timely manner. I will be calling him again in the future for sure."

"Gunner Roofing has an excellent team that completed my house siding project. As certified installers of James Hardie, they were professional from start to finish! Andrew was extremely knowledgeable of the product and created a spectacular design and assisted w/ the financing of my project. He was always available to answer all questions. The Project Manager Anthony communicated daily with project updates and was extremely responsive to questions and addressed all concerns in a timely manner. The workers were exceptional as they always arrived early and worked late to ensure completion of the work. Really appreciated their attention to detail! I highly recommend this company!"

"The quote was a fair price compared to the other quotes we received.  The date was set to start the job but was delayed to the following week because of weather.  The roof was completed in 1 day.  I had to call because there was an area where the roof pitch changes that did not look right but Sean had his guys come right out and correct it the day I called. <br /> The roof looks beautiful and we are happy with the work. <br />"

FAQs for roofing installation & roof repair projects in Wakefield, RI

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.
