"Lukas and his team were excellent. We received several quotes - Lukas was competitive and the most straightforward. Rather than trying to sell us on the "features" of various components, he honestly assessed our house as a pretty standard roofing job. The job was completed over a day and a half within a week of signing the contract - one day for the carpentry work and half a day for the roof. Lukas was extremely responsive to one small change we asked for on the carpentry work. We emailed him at night and the change was already done by 8:30 the next morning. Highly recommended."

"Sergei provided a free estimate and a full explanation of the work needed and the costs involved. His crew arrived promptly on the scheduled day. They kept an orderly work area, striped the old shingles, replaced plywood as needed and re-shingled the entire house in one day. They completely cleaned the work area after they were done. I am very satisfied with the results and highly recommend the Roofing Doctor."

"Can’t say enough good things about Kyle and his work. Just had our roof done and the whole process was wonderful. Great work at a fair price, from estimate to picking out materials Kyle worked with us to make sure we were getting both what we needed in a roof as well as a finished product that would look great. The roofers that came out were some of the hardest working people I’ve met in a long time and they got through the entire project in less than a day, first stripping the old shingles and replacing some plywood underneath that was starting to rot and then installing the new shingles and ridge vent. They were punctual and when they were done they cleaned thoroughly, ensuring there was no stray nails around in the yard or driveway to puncture a tire or foot. I will certainly be using them again for my next project and many more to come."

"This is the 2nd time working with Durable Remodeling for a roof. This time it was my parents house that needed the roof. Dean came to the house and worked with my parents. The price was very reasonable to replace the entire roof, plywood, shingles and gutters, etc. The crew showed up tight on time and worked for over 12 hrs. They came back a few days later to install the gutters. Very good work. My parents are very pleased and relieved that its done. Communication was perfect. Dean responds very quickly to any questions and concerns you have. I highly recommend and would hire again"

"Mark from Ferschke did a great job. I purchased a $99 Angie's "coupon" for checking the entire roof, etc. Mark spent a lot of time checking the entire roof, the lead flashing around the chimney, etc. He also re-attached the back gutter that was loose / hanging, AND changed an outdoor lightbulb! I plan to have him come back in the spring to replace an area of roof shingles and 'sister' boards to existing rafters for a firmer gutter attachment. Again, Mark was very knowledgeable and explained everything very well."

FAQs for roofing installation & roof repair projects in New Bedford, MA

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.
