"Steve contacted me immediately upon seeking a quote. Even though we couldn’t do anything right away because of the snow he followed up with me a month later and we were able to discuss a formal quote. His team came in on Monday, removed the old roof including some bad boards, installed a ridge vent and it looks amazing. I would definitely hire again."

"Very professional outfit. They have done 2 jobs for me in the last 4 years. First was a pole barn, pretty straight forward job. The second was all new gutters on my house, a much more involved project. Quality of product and installation is excellent. And they clean up after themselves. Nice people to work with!"

"From the very first meeting at our home to discuss the scope of the project, we were impressed with their professionalism and knowledge. Their quote was competitive, (within five percent of other proposals), and the materials Pennings used for the job were, in some cases, superior. They were patient with us as we tweaked the design multiple times. We were delighted at the creativity and inspiration their architect provided to our project. Careful attention was paid to insuring the addition looked like it was part of the original design of the home, and it shows! The architect gave us multiple options to choose from, one of which even decreased the footprint without compromising design or our priorities, and actually reduced costs. Through the process, we met all of the senior management at the company. Not only is everyone extremely competent, but also personally delightful. They are very customer focused, and are always looking to exceed expectations. Our project manager has been phenomenal. From the very beginning, he shared the daily schedule with us so we knew exactly what to expect and prepare for. Changes were also communicated, and accommodations were made to be as non-intrusive as possible in our lives during construction. We were involved in every decision, whether small or large, and we had the freedom to make adjustments along the way. If any concerns arose with sub-contractors, we only had to communicate with Pennings and any issues were handled immediately. We chose to take on some of the work ourselves to reduce the overall cost of the project, and there were no objections. In fact, our project manager often provided advice to us or lent a hand when possible. Pennings has been a delight to work with. From start to finish, it was an exceptionally positive experience and we are thrilled with the outcome."

"We had a full roof replacement done by Advantage in 2023. Our old roof had a small leak and minor mold, but since the new roof was installed, the problems have only gotten worse. Shortly after installation, water began leaking into the same upstairs bathroom. Advantage later discovered a baffle on the roof vent had been left open. They came back, resealed it, and repaired the drywall. Even after that fix, we continued having moisture and water issues in the attic. Advantage blamed HVAC condensation and advised us to reroute our HVAC at a cost of about $2,000. We did that and then had Advantage return to seal the roof vents again. Despite all of this, the water issues continued. When Advantage came out under warranty, they again blamed the HVAC. However, our HVAC company rechecked everything and found no condensation issues. Instead, they found heavy mold growth and active leaking from the same roof penetrations Advantage had patched. They also noted the attic ventilation was inadeq"

"My roof was replaced from the hail storm this year and I reached out to some house inspectors as to which roofer to work with, Scott Keyser Roofing came highly regarded and his crew did an excellent job as they knocked it out in a day and are very professional. The integrity is in doing it right and taking the extra time to make it perfect...especially on the noticeable areas like the edges and caps. Thanks!!!"

FAQs for roofing installation & roof repair projects in Watervliet, MI

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.
