"The Shinn Group did a great job! I needed a roof on a new wing on my home and decided to replace the existing roof as well. Management was quick to send the estimator to survey the job explain the plan for my particular roof style and send a quote. They showed up on time in the morning and as the work progressed the found deficiencies on the old roof. After a short discussion we agreed to replace the worn structure. They also installed new protective boots on the plumbing vents, flashed the elevation changes and chimney. They’re very knowledgeable and equipped with the materials needed so it didn’t slow the work down. The were fast, efficient and the rates are very reasonable. My roof looks great! The Shinn Group offers a 5 year warranty and the suggested material manufacturer (GAF) gives a much longer for defects, blow offs and algae. I recommend the The Shinn Group for any roof work. Either new, repairs or reroof. They trustworthy, prompt and the rates are good. Their communication was outstanding. We are very pleased with the quality and craftsmanship."

"Very impressed with responsiveness, professionalism, technology, and value provided by Gunner Roofing. The copper flashing was pulling away from around my chimney and looked like it was in need of repair or replacement. I had previously worked with another well reviewed roofing company on Angie's List that missed my scheduled appointment to examine my chimney flashing. So I was very pleased when Andrew from Gunner showed up exactly when promised, and I was quite fascinated with his use of a drone to take precise aerial photographs of the work to be performed from all angles - a rather tech savvy approach. Gunner provided a detailed estimate within hours, that was only 1/3 the cost of the estimate I ultimately received from that other roofer. Gunner Roofing completed the work on time, and did a very satisfactory job. This was a relatively modest project, but based on my experience, I hope to use Gunner Roofing when it comes time to redo my entire roof."

"Bill and his team are top notch. Replaced our roof and two side porch roofs in a day and a half, trim work and all. Mark and his guys tarped everything and cleaned up after day one and then again thoroughly when the job was done. It was almost like they were never here. Just as importantly, they made sure the neighbors were satisfied when they were done, especially since one neighbors house is just feet away. The noise was not nearly as bad as we thought it would be, neighborhood inconveniences were non-existent, and the whole process went quicker than expected. Excellent value, the final result looks amazing, and the communication was out of this world. Look no further, Bill is your guy for roofing, for sure."

"I contacted John Santana, of Choice Home Repair, explained what I needed done and setup an appointment with him to come and look at the jobsite and to discuss in further detail what is required to accomplish what I wanted. John arrived at the appointed time, he thoroughly assessed the area to be worked on, brought to light some areas of concern and made some suggestions on how he would go about to resolve these issues. He also took the time to explain why they needed to be considered. Afterwards, John worked up an estimate, in a reasonable period of time. I thought his price was more than fair and had him draw up a contract. After singing off, I fronted him the funds for materials that needed to be special ordered. When John began the job he partitioned off the area to minimize dust and he cleaned up at the end of the day. Being that this job was done in December, I allowed John to setup in our heated garage where he could work. Here too he partitioned off that area to minimize the dust from his saws and other tools needed for the job. John Santana is a very conscientious, honest, and polite professional that does high quality work. He goes beyond the norm so that in the end everything about the job is solid and looks great. I highly recommend John for any home improvement work needed and would definitely hire him again. Actually, I’ve already discussed with him about the next project I will be doing."

"Bob was professional from start to finish. I needed a new bow window, as the one in my house was about 40 years old and didn't open. Bob came over and explained all the options with the window, and was surprising less that window world! The day of the installation was smooth, the team showed up right on time, and actually finished quicker than I expected. They also touched up the wall paint where the molding was narrower than the old molding. We love our new window! Definitely recommend."

"James (Jim) Harden is the owner of Harden's Improvements. I found him in the local newspaper as I was not yet a member of Angie's List. (But, I checked Angie's List before signing the contract!) He responded to my phone call the same day that I left a message for him. He came by within a few days to measure. A few days later I had a detailed written quote. The quote was less than five other contractors who had bid on the job. He was almost four thousand dollars less than three of the contractors! I told Jim that his number was low and that I would be willing to pay more because my insurance company was willing to pay more . He would have none of that and expressed pride in the fact that he often comes in lower than insurance company payouts. He also refused to take any money until the day that he started the job. His advice to me was to and quot;never give contractors money ahead of timeand quot;. Good advice from an honest man with integrity and good sense. <br /> The job was executed very professionally. Jim and his crew were fast yet safe workers and were always respectful of myself and anyone on the property. The job site was always clean and there was no swearing. The job site radio played oldies. The finished job looks GREAT. <br /> I have more roofs on my property on out-buildings. When it is time to replace them I will not hesitate to use Harden's Improvements. For me it was an ideal homeowner-contractor experience. <br />"

FAQs for roofing installation & roof repair projects in Wilkes Barre, PA

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.
