"Great! Very responsive service. Came over quickly for an initial quote, which involved flying a drone over all parts of the roof to make sure everything was inspected. What initially was supposed to be a leak fix to find the source and repair rotten sheathing transformed into a larger project, as Rich found and explained (with photos and in detail) how just about all aspects of our 14 year old roof had been installed incorrectly, and had probably been leaking from day 1 (too much spacing on shingles, shingles attached with staples instead of nails, no step flashing on dormers dormer/roof transition incorrect, one row of ice and water missing with bare sheathing exposed, etc.). Having been trained as an architect it was easy for me to see just how poorly a job had been done on the old roof. Fortunately we had the ability to expand the scope of the project to the entire roof and related elements, which was a good call, as the other parts of the roof were also leaking as well, and also improperly installed. That being said, the service we received was wonderful. Work proceeded in an orderly fashion, with daily cleanup and removel of waste materials at he end of the day, and more continuously as the project wrapped up. One day was rainy, and Rich made sure any unfinished areas were covered by both ice and water and a tarp. Highly recommend. Prior roofers we had contacted either didn’t respond or didn’t follow up when we tried to reconnect, but Arctic Roofing & Siding was quick and responsive throughout the project."

"Glenn and his crew were always pleasant and very professional. The quality of work was exceptional. They installed new windows, new siding, insulation, drywall, flooring, remodeled 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, my kitchen, and 2 living spaces. Outside, they built a deck with built in seating, laid stone for a walkway, and reshingled the exterior of the house. Glenn laid beautiful wide plank pine floors, installed large picture windows, and worked with the local Amish community who custom designed and hand made the cabinets for my kitchen. The work was completed last year, but recently I had an issue with a leak in ceiling around my chimney. The leak was caused by an issue from before Halldale builders started the renovation, but Glenn was still able to come right out and fix the roof as well as the drywall in the ceiling. Great work and great customer service. <br />"

"A rep for the company came and gave the installation and sale details. They arrived a week after I contracted them. It was February so they could start right away. The roofers were excellent and answered all questions as they went along. They discovered major rot under one side of the home, took pictures to show the damage and then explained how they would repair the damage. The repair was excellent. They removed all debris without a single asphalt piece or nail surrounding the home. The roof looks great and I feel pleased that I will not have to think too much about replacing a roof again in my lifetime!"

FAQs for roofing installation & roof repair projects in Washington, ME

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.
