"Our experience was outstanding from beginning to end. From selecting the roofing product to answering our many questions, Joel was extremely helpful and patient, always seeking to earn our business without being pushy. He maintained a high level of communication with us throughout the entire process. The work was completed in a day and a half with minimal disruption to our lives. The crew was courteous and professional in every way, and their workmanship was excellent. I would highly recommend Roof Rehab for all of your roofing needs."

(Come to find out from masonry contractor that chimney needs tapcon on cap and masonry repairs). Got platinum service warranty on roof, that includes both product and labor for defects and repair/replace."

"John is excellent and deserves the Super Service Award. I found this company from Angies List. I asked him to estimate the damage on the roof twice. The 1st time I hired him to repair some small damages. The second time he estimated that the roof damage can be covered by my insurance. He was correct. My insurance covered the replacement of the roof. And I hired him again. His service and altitude are excellent. Highly recommend him!"

"My wife and I could not have hired anyone who would have done as quick a job or as professional, detailed, as accommodating. They cleaned up the yard after the job and not so much as a nail was left. We would recommend John Cotton roofing & Home improvement for any work you might need done."

"Michael arrived on time for his evaluation of my roof damage and repair estimate. He said he would check his schedule and get back with me. He called me a few minutes after he left my house and said he had an opening the next morning. I agreed and he returned to my home so I could sign the contract. The repairs and cleanup went well and so far no further leaks to report. They even fixed my damaged soffits. Michael is a profesional roofer that shows up on time to get the job done. Everything he did was explained to me so I could understand what went wrong and how he fixed the leaks. <br />"

"They were very professional and on time.  Took them the whole day to remove and install the windows and they cleaned up after themselves.  After the windows were installed, they showed me how to tilt them out and back in for cleaning purposes.  I would use this company again.  <br />"

"Our "only" negative comment about Ground Zero Shelters is that they do not come to a persons residence to give the sales pitch and demonstration. You must go to their showroom or see their product at a home show. This being said, we were extremely happy with the sales experience, reminders and installation of our shelter. They called about 10 days prior to the installation for a reminder, their installers called the day before and the morning of the installation to remind us that they would be at our home at the designated time. They showed up as promised and were completed with the installation in less than 1 1/2 hours time! Thank you Ground Zero!"

FAQs for roofing installation & roof repair projects in Mount Vernon, MO

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.
