"After 26 years we knew, the time had come to replace our existing roof. At the recommendation of our neighbor, we placed a call to Brian Fallon at Trenton Roofing. At our home visit/evaluation Brian thoroughly explained the roofing process and within a few days submitted an estimate for the work we had discussed. In October of 2020 we signed the contracts and were given an estimated installation date. Brian kept us informed of the material availability and the anticipated date of install. In January of 2021 we received notification that Trenton Roofing had received all materials for our job and the work was scheduled. The day of the install the Trenton Roofing crew arrived promptly and within one day the entire process was complete. The crew was amazing – they were careful, efficient and their workmanship superior. Our yard was meticulously checked and cleared of all debris. We were so impressed with the roof install that we decided to engage Trenton Roofing for window replacement. In March of 2021 Brian Fallon along with Robert the window installer, visited our home to measure all existing windows. Once again within a few days we had an estimate for the new windows and installation. We were told from the start that our order would take between 8-12 weeks and installation would take approximately 3 days. We were delighted when windows arrived at the two-month mark and installation was scheduled. On the day of installation Robert and his team arrived promptly and went straight to work. Within 2.5 days Robert had completed the removal and installation of 25 windows. His work - sheer perfection! Robert is truly a master craftsman you would never even know that the new windows were not the existing ones in the home. His careful and precise work left the original window framework completely intact. Words cannot describe how thoroughly delighted we are in the finished product. Once again, Brian Fallon communicated with us every step of the way – made site visits to our home the day of the roof install and during the window Installation as well. Five Stars are not enough to give to Brian, Robert and to the Trenton Roofing team. If you are contemplating roof/window replacement – don’t think twice just call Trenton Roofing. The entire team are true professionals. Thank you for the excellent job – our house never looked better! Joe and Anne Paglione – Yardley, PA"

"Universal Roofing delivered a great looking roof, high quality, and as promised in terms of time and $. They also were responsive to special requests like painting my chimney and some minor shoring up of my gutters. I found the team who did the installation to be careful and respectful – covering up my tree and plants that I had out front to prevent damage. I am very satisfied that it was done right and that I should not have to worry about my roof again for a very long time. Thanks."

"Ed and his team did an outstanding job from start to finish. Ed responded quickly to my request and was punctual, professional and courteous. His proposal was clearly laid out, very detailed and the pricing was reasonable. There was never any pressure or sales tricks. Before replacing the roof, I had to remove my old solar panels, and that really threw off the schedule for the roof. However, I was able to maintain excellent communication with Ed via email throughout the entire process. The roof was completed in one day, and my gutters, which had to be specially ordered because of their unusual color, were done a couple of days later. The crew arrived on time, they did high quality work and were absolutely fantastic with cleaning up everything, I could not find a single nail or any piece of debris on my property afterwards. It was a real pleasure to work with this company, they were perfect in every aspect of the job and I highly recommend them."

"I would definitely recommend AV Contracting. They did excellent work on my neighbor’s roof and he was very pleased, so I asked them to estimate mine as well. From the first meeting, Alex was a good listener about what I wanted to have done, investigated all my roof issues and made sound recommendations, followed by a competitive quote. I had 3 roofers estimate my roof replacement and decided to go with AV for the reasons above. He was always responsive, honest, friendly and helpful. The crew showed up on time, was professional and courteous, quiet, and focused on getting the job done quickly and right. I inspected frequently as they were working and I was very satisfied with the quality of the work, materials, and crew. They also cleaned up very well and left no trace that they were ever there. The roof looks great and I have no complaints or issues even after an all day torrential downpour-no problems!"

"The job went flawlessly. We had already had M&W replace 2 roofs and do one siding/front door job before calling recently about doing this roof replacement job about 100 miles from their shop. The previous jobs had gone so well, we did not want to take a chance on a new company. We called and they were willing to travel to do the work. M&W installed 17 sheets of plywood, heavy 130-mph resistant shingles and large K-6 gutters on our home. They also found some shoddy repair work which had been done previously over our porch. A leaky roof had been repaired by the addition of a membrane over the existing roof and they found water between the layers. M&W removed all this material down to the studs and replace the plywood over the porch before installing the new roof. The whole job took two days to finish as they worked from 8-am until dark (Approx 8-pm) both days. They put down tarps to catch the debris from the old roof and leave your yard without a trace of their presence. Chad, Mark and Ellie have been very easy to deal with, very punctual, polite and we are so impressed with the work ethic! We would recommend M&W to any family members or friends and feel good about doing it."

"We had Economic Roofing to replace our roof and fix our leaking chimney last week. Patrick did a very detailed inspection on our chimney and roof with detailed pictures. He explained what needs to be done and showed damaged areas of our roof and chimney, and he gave estimated cost. Then I received a detailed written quote from John. He also stopped by and explained the worst and better case about the repairs. First they fixed my rusting chimney. They completely sanded and re-painted with high heat paint. After a week they replaced my entire roof. Damaged boards are replaced, vents are replaced. They did a really clean job they cleaned all fallen asphalt shingles. They also deal with association and township approvals. Patrick and John came in and inspected and showed all the pictures before and after. They are ON-TIME responsive and their prices are very reasonable. I highly recommend Economic Roofing company"

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