"We recently had to have extensive work done to find and repair a roof leak. Duane Mainardi Builders did an exceptional job identifying the source of the leak and all the damage that it had caused. Their crew of Kyle and Ricky are extreme professionals and ensured that the repair work was done correctly. They updated us daily with what they had found and reviewed with us the fix that they were implementing. They keep us well informed and when finished did a through review of what they had done. During the repair they also answered all our questions we had. I highly recommend them for any work your hose my need in the future."

"Construction in today’s world, where finding a reliable contractor or roofer can be a challenge, has truly astounded me. I reached out to about five different roofers for quotes, but it was AV who stood out. His first step was to inspect the attic before even looking at the roof, which was incredibly impressive. While others simply provided quotes based on their assumptions, AV took the time to ensure every detail was addressed. He even noticed something as minor as the bathroom vent not being connected, explaining how it could impact the new roof. His attention to detail, quality of service, and fair pricing are truly commendable in an industry where such standards are rare. Thank you so much for exceeding our expectations!"

"If you are thinking of getting your roof replaced, updated, and/or repaired look no further than Economic Roofing - period, end of story! In terms of level of service here’s what you are going to get: Overall Customer Service A+++ Overall Quality Service A+++ Overall Satisfaction A+++ Pricing A+++ I called Economic Roofing to get a quote and the owner, John stepped in and right from the jump went above and beyond my expectations. From start to finish, he kept me informed about every step of the process and price estimates of material service even though I could tell he was extremely busy. Their team found a whole bunch of rotten plywood so they replaced those as well. He truly cares and takes pride in the quality of his work. The level of service and the integrity which I experience from John was beyond compare to ANY other roofing customer service that I have ever received or experienced. Thank you, Economic Roofing, and thank you John! I will certainly look to Economic Roofing for any future roofing needs and I will be sure to tell all whom I know in need of roof care, look no further than Economic Roofing. In short, EXCELLENCE!!!"

"We could not be more pleased with the work done by MW Roofing, LLC. Mark in sales did a great job explaining options during the bidding process. Chad, the owner, installed the metal roof. He was patient and helpful answering all our questions and worked with us to fix some drainage issues on the flat roof. The bid was competitive, the quality of the work top notch."

"It was great. I had talked to another roofer and I felt that when I talked to Mr. Dennis, he was much more thorough with his explanation. I felt that he actually knew what he was talking about and he knew how to explain it in a way where a person who was not a roofer could understand it. I thought that he did a good job of assessing the damage that was there. And in addition to that kind of assessing, what was still good is that he said my roof will last 40 years if we do these things to rectify the problem. So I thought that he was thorough and I thought that he was quick. He actually came out and do the repairs before I even was aware of it. He came over and done all the repairs and came back to follow up after we've had a heavy snow to make sure that everything was okay."

"After the last windstorm we lost a great deal of our roof shingles. I contacted Guardian and Robert came out and inspected the damage. He spent a great amount of time explaining the process and the system they use for roofing. He also offered to assist us and guide us through the ordeal of dealing with insurance companies. Throughout, Robert and Jon in the office were always in contact with us to keep us informed. When the time came for the installation I was really impressed. The crew showed up at 7 AM and went to work stripping the old roof. The whole time there was an individual on the ground constantly cleaning the debris. I pointed out several of our prized landscape items and they were extremely careful not to disturb them. they even pointed out an issue with the construction and came up with a solution to correct it. I was surprised with the speed with which they completed the job. They also cleaned up the area so well that you wouldn't even know that we had a new roof put on. This is a company that I will have no reservation recommending to anyone who asks."

FAQs for roofing installation & roof repair projects in Claymont, DE

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.
