"Drew was very thorough and knowledgeable when he performed his inspection on our roof. His opinion was that our roof still had some life left and that we should hold off on replacement. It was refreshing to have a contractor who was honest and genuinely cared about us. Thank you!"

"Went perfect. They were on time, tore off 2 layers of shingles, fixed a broken sheet of plywood and installed the new roof in a day. I was very impressed that they were able to do my 2 story colonial home in a day...start to finish. They guys were profession and cleaned up everything very well. Have definitely already recommended them to others."

"Wonderful! Tom from Jilek was very personable and answered all of my questions. Once under contract, they fit me into their busy schedule quicker than I expected and arrived at 7 AM the appointed day with a large crew to remove and replace the roof. Excellent work, excellent clean up, and they were done before 1:30 PM the same day. Superb professionals who do high quality work."

"Great! Droco roofing was wonderful to work with from start to finish. I had missing shingles on my roof and was prepared to pay to have it replaced. David at DroCo Roofing inspected my roof and believed the damage was due to wind. He helped me through the process of filing a claim and met with my adjuster and it was approved though my insurance. The crew that did my job was excellent and I could not be happier with the whole process. I would highly recommend DroCo Roofing as they are very knowledgeable when it comes to storm damage and did a terrific job on my home."

"Sandor and Exact have been doing my annual slate repairs (all minor) for three years.  Other companies were not interested in small jobs.  Sandor and his crew always do the work, personally.  Nothing has been subcontracted.  The quotes have always been accurate.  My home is 106 years old and my roof keeps the house wonderfully dry.  I highly recommend Exact Roofing. <br />"

"We received several quotes from roofing companies but Steve really sold us on Fredericksburg Builders. Our neighbors had also used them and were very happy with them. One thing that made them stand out was that we wanted new gutters and they were able to get them in many different colors, vs. a competitor that could only get them in white or brown, where we definitely needed a taupe or beige color. I appreciated that Steve told us upfront that our roof wouldn't show as 3-dimensional as our neighbors because of our pitch being alot lower, so I wasn't surprised at the end. We had a couple little hiccups, but Steve and his crew were ready to take care of them, quickly and professionally. We would definitely recommend them again and for the price of the roof, gutters and shutters, we thought it was great value!"

"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."

"We got about four estimates. Ideal roofing was about $1800 lower than the highest bid. Very professional team; hard-working; clean. They knocked out the job in about nine hours. They didn't make me wait several weeks to get to me. Also, if you look at these reviews, you'll see that the owner of the company prides himself on his reputation. Any bad reviews on Angie's list resulted in a rebuttal by the owner."

FAQs for roofing installation & roof repair projects in Akron, OH

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.
