"Thank you for moving our metal roof installation up from the scheduled fall timing to early summer due to damage on our garage roof due to recent storms. The installers were very professional and quickly installed our new metal roof. The team of installers worked well together and were up on the roof working within a few minutes of arriving and got most of the job finished in 1 day. They only had a couple hours of work to finish up with the garage & house on the the second . Excellent workers and quality work. They kept the yard cleaned up at the end of the day and our new Roof & Roof Window look GREAT on our home! My husband is THRILLED that he won't have to patch in shingles any more when we have high winds or a storm that comes through. Thank You very much to all of your for your hard work and quality product. We would recommend your product and team to others."

"<p> From start to finish Bryon and his team were great. Bryon got back to me right away when I contacted him for an estimate. The information packet he provided with the bid included a reference list which enabled us to see shingles in place. This was very helpful in selecting the best option for our house. Bryon assisted us in processing the claim for the defective shingles on the existing roof and the claim settlement came promptly as a result of his efforts. We were kept informed of the timeline for the roof installation and everything was completed as promised. He answered all our questions throughout the process.</p> <p>The house is two story with several dormers and the roof itself has a steep pitch -- it wasn't the easiest roof to shingle. The crew that installed the roof was great, they worked almost non-stop when they were on site. I was very impressed with how they kept our yard and the surrounding areas picked up during the installation. They ensured all the old materials and nails were picked up from the around the house and on the driveway. Bryon came back the following day to check on things and ensure that everything was done as planned.</p> <p>We are very pleased with the result and would highly recommend Yakesh Roofing!!</p> <br />"

"A few years ago, I had used SPS Roofing on a commercial job, and was happy with the finished job. Recently, I called them for my own house which required replacement of shingles. It was a smooth transaction. I selected from a sample of shingles. The crew arrived within two weeks, removed the old shingles, and replaced with new more attractive shingles. The job took two days. They did a complete cleanup leaving no trash or debris. Two sattelite dish antennas had to be repointed, which was professionally done, and at no additional charge. <br />"

"My mailbox fell apart and could not be repaired. It needed a new post and everything. This occurred the first week of December and although the ground was not yet frozen, I was concerned that it could soon become frozen.  This is Wisconsin, after all. I called all the highly rated handyman providers, and they all were booked for at least two weeks and some were busy through January or February. I decided to take a chance on Property Image, even though they had only a few reviews. The entire process went really well. They could not set up an available date for three days or so, but they communicated with me so I knew they were coming. I also could not be there during the work, which was not a problem for them. They offered to buy a new mailbox for me, but I wanted to choose one myself. I bought one (they purchased a post), and left it on my front porch in the morning. I came home that evening and it was installed perfectly, just the right distance from the street, level and sturdy in the ground. The landscaping around the post looked like it was barely touched. They billed me about a week later. It all worked out and I love my new mailbox <br />"

"<p>The entire project went very well. Scott and his crew were always on time, always attentive to our needs, and above all, always professional. A roofing project can be stressful for the homeowners. Scott understands all levels of stress for his crew, the homeowner, and the neighbors. His attention to this and all details made the whole experience enjoyable. As with all projects, unexpected problems arise but Scott had it covered. For example, the chimney needed more attention because of poor craftsmanship from the last time the roof was replaced. Scott discussed the problem with us, gave us our options and took care of the problem quickly and professionally. When the garage roof was removed, the boards were worse than we thought originally. Scott gave us the option of just papering and shingling over the top of the boards, or sheeting first, then papering and shingling. We decided to sheet the garage first. As it turns out, we know this saved our garage. The garage roof is much stronger as a result of the sheeting. If this had not been done, it probably would have caved in from snow load in the very near future. All the sheeting and labor was done at a very low cost and the results are priceless.</p> <p>My roof was replaced just twelve years ago with CertainTeed shingles. At the time, we thought we would never have to worry about it again. The shingles failed, and the contractor we hired last time cut corners. Cut corners are not apparent to homeowners. You trust your contractor and cannot see what is really done under the surface of the finished roof. We now know that having the right contractor makes all the difference. Scott took pictures during each step of the roofing project to show us the quality of the services he was providing. Finally, the rain gutter on the garage was in poor shape. I purchased a new gutter and Scott installed it at no extra cost. He also worked on all downspouts to make sure they were secure on the house at no extra cost. My property was always clean at the end of each work day, and all nails were picked up. What else could you ask for?</p> <p>We need other services in the future, and we know who we will be calling. If you need a new roof or any other renovation, call the trustworthy Scott Geison from Excellence in Home Renovations. You will not be disappointed.</p> <br />"

FAQs for roofing installation & roof repair projects in Wausau, WI

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.
