"Our experience with Guardian has been nothing but exceptional. From the beginning they insured that our home was safe from additional damage by covering exposed areas of the roof until the insurance company could coordinate with Guardian. Guardian was there to coordinate with our insurance company adjuster and make sure all the local code requirements to install the new roof were met. The materials used are top notch, giving us an ice and water shield and a 50 year warranty on the roof, that will long out last us. During the roof install the crew was here early, covered all the bushes and shrubs, worked quickly and efficiently, and were finished by mid-afternoon. They made sure all debris and nails were picked up like they were never here. These guys know what they are doing and are professional and friendly. I would not hesitate to recommend this company to anyone that I know."

"These guys spent 5 days crawling under my deck in mud and cold weather replacing rotten supports causing my sunroom and deck to sink. I have no doubt, the work they did will remain sturdy long after I decide to move (no plans at this time). Great job!"

"First time they came out to fix my soffit venting, they completely ruined the fascia wrap, thinking they could bend it to fit the soffit panels in and bend back into place...completely unacceptable and I'm not sure who thought that was a good idea, or something they could leave and be proud of as a "5-star" company. I also needed baffles in my attic to ensure insulation would not fall back into the soffit vents. Baffles need to be secured; Ferris just laid them on top of the insulation, unsecured to anything and installed them from outside the house, without going into the attic to place them the correct way...the contractor even insisted with me that leaving them unsecured was ok without any real reasoning when I asked several times why he thought that was correct. Somewhat thankfully, they came back out and started the job over from scratch, replacing the fascia wrap and installing the soffit panels neater, but not quite right in multiple areas, which made me follow up through the workmanship warranty. Even after all of this, they left some of the fascia wood exposed and even left me with a nice gap between the fascia and my roof line in multiple areas around my home. This was due to them removing my pre-existing drip edge in these areas. When I explained this to Ferris, I was told this is their "standard" to stop fascia wrapping an inch below the roof line, even if it wasn't that way before. When I tried asking about a drip edge replacement since they tore mine off, I did not receive a response to e mail or phone call, so I guess the "1 year warranty" I received on their work only applies when they feel like addressing it. Water, critters, etc. can get into this space thanks to Ferris where there was not a gap before - talk about a home improvement! If someone had told me they were going to leave a gap and not replace my drip edge, I never would have gotten this done by them. Additionally, if I needed something to fill that gap, why wasn't I quoted for that part in the original estimate?! Completely dishonest and sneaky in how this was handled, all things considered. Totally absurd and surreal experience from what I expected to be a 5-star service company. Best of luck if you go with them for improvements in your attic ventilation"

"Just wanted to compliment Bayside Exteriors for their excellent service in replacing my roof. They have always been responsive when I've needed them for roof repairs. I knew that when it would come time to replace my roof, I would hire this company. They did not disappoint me. I was impressed at the work they did and that they even had an individual assigned to oversee the process and ensure that I was pleased with the work. They did an excellent job of cleaning everything up, including removing any nails that could end up in the driveway or yard. They are a reputable and honest company. If you need a new roof or roof repairs, I highly recommend them."

FAQs for roofing installation & roof repair projects in Greenwood, 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.
