"JR came and assessed my roof. He was very honest with describing to me what my real world options were, and did not try and up-sell me into services I did not need. They did a great job repairing my near end-of-life roof and I will definitely be hiring them again in the next year or two for a full roof replacement."

"Superb work, especially by roofer Erik Hofer, who managed the project. They were able to complete the roof (in December), repaired a section of gutter, and built a saddle behind the chimney to facilitate better water and leaf runoff. They arrived as scheduled and finished on schedule. After our horrid winter, we experienced ice dam leak in February. This was likely not the fault of the new roof, but even so, Erik came out himself the very next day and steamed the ice dam away and removed the snow from the section where the leak occurred, all without charging us, calling it a "courtesy call"! All-in-all, a fabulous job, with Mr. Hofer in particular standing out for his customer service."

"I was very pleased with the work Craftsmen Home Improvements did installing a new roof. They were very professional; they finished the work in a single day, and they cleaned up the area completely after they were done."

"I hired James earlier this year to replace flooring and a door in my basement bedroom that I wanted to convert to a home office. From the beginning, James was professional and courteous, and his communication was excellent. I am a female and in my thirties, and home remodeling of any kind is not in my realm of expertise, so I really appreciated that James explained things to me thoroughly without being condescending. He gave me a quote upfront and stuck to that price. He also put me in touch with one of his vendors so I could pick out the flooring, and I was very happy with that company. James and his brother removed the old carpeting and installed the new LVP flooring and it turned out perfectly. He also went through the trouble of finding the office door that I wanted instead of me searching for something on my own. I had done my research on the door I wanted, and what James found matched what I was expecting in looks, quality, and price. He also kindly gave me advice on some things I decided to tackle on my own (caulking, sanding, etc.) and that was appreciated. During the time I spent with James, I found him to be very meticulous in his work, which was reflected in the final product of my room. I am so happy with how everything turned out, and I would absolutely hire him again if I ever have any remodeling needs."

"We were in serious need to fix our leaking flat roof on our attached garage, as well as replacement of the rails and exterior staircase which were in disrepair and unsafe. Mark and Cristian gave us a quote and were able to get the crew to work, my concern was before the snow and they made it happen! Once spring came the new garage door got installed and new gutter and downspout on the back which looks great. The new cedar stairs and rails are now safe and we can't wait to use our new deck this summer! We would recommend working with Northrup!"

"Agent came out, surveyed the roof, and measured what it would take to replace. Showed current styles available and provided a price after my selection.  Agreed upon a date.  The crew came at 7:30 AM and finished about 8:05 PM  Agent said he'd do it in 1 day and he did.  Neighbor couldn't believe they did it all in 1 day, whereas most new roofs take 3 to 4 days.  Clean-up was very good and delivered on what they said they would do. <br />"

"A three person team came out on time. They were hard working and quite brave to get up on a wintery roof in Minnesota to remove snow and chip and steam ice dams away. They were careful not to damage anything and left no mess behind. All in all, a very impressive work crew. I chose Doug's based on Angie's List reviews. Another company on the List with strong reviews charges $125/hour more than Doug's and has a three hour minimum whereas Doug has two. Thus, Doug proved to be an excellent choice in my opinion."

"22nd Century Roofing is great to work with. What I thought was just loose facia turned out to be rotting wood. Tyler from 22nd Century Roofing came out to determine the scope of work. The scope of work was very detailed to include photos. He also made sure that new aluminum facia would match my existing facia. The cost was around what I was expecting and there was never any pressure to get the work scheduled. The install crew did a great job and were very professional and cleaned up after they were done."

"The project began when I heard an advertisement from Lindus – they were reducing the labor costs for Leaf Guard gutter installation. The first step was a visit from the salesman. He explained the designs of various covered gutters and the advantage of Leaf Guard was clear. He measured, gave a detailed pricing and coordinated my project with the financing company. All in one visit! My project was scheduled for the late fall of 2019. It snowed! But Lindus was able to install the gutters – after the storm, of course. The weather promised and delivered strong sunshine. Lindus was at my home the day before the re-scheduled installation and cleared all snow from the roof. This allowed the shingles to warm so the installation could proceed. The installation was completed without a problem. I spoke to 3 or 4 employees during the project. Every one of them was knowledgeable about the product and the installation details. It is great that a customer receives service without having to ‘call the office.’ I am a very satisfied customer."

"We contacted TR Exteriors LLC on a recommendation of a friend who had used them.  We were moving and needed some repairs on our siding and some windows before we could put our house on the market.  Tim came to our home and gave us an honest assessment of what needed to be done, which made us very happy.  He also clearly laid out the process and how long it would take and when the crew would arrive and all these expectations he set for us were met.  We were even thrilled when they were through with their work that they had also cleaned up as promised.  I highly recommend TR Exteriors LLC for your roofing, siding or window projects"

FAQs for roofing installation & roof repair projects in Forest Lake, MN

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.
