"Very impressed with responsiveness, professionalism, technology, and value provided by Gunner Roofing. The copper flashing was pulling away from around my chimney and looked like it was in need of repair or replacement. I had previously worked with another well reviewed roofing company on Angie's List that missed my scheduled appointment to examine my chimney flashing. So I was very pleased when Andrew from Gunner showed up exactly when promised, and I was quite fascinated with his use of a drone to take precise aerial photographs of the work to be performed from all angles - a rather tech savvy approach. Gunner provided a detailed estimate within hours, that was only 1/3 the cost of the estimate I ultimately received from that other roofer. Gunner Roofing completed the work on time, and did a very satisfactory job. This was a relatively modest project, but based on my experience, I hope to use Gunner Roofing when it comes time to redo my entire roof."

"UPDATE: Very very pleased, i have a very large complex roof took them 4 days they also put a metal roof over bay. what's nice is they have an expert "inspector" come and inspect the job....i don['t know much but nice to know they want it "just right" and that we are pleased. also they call me at all stages....amazing. the way any service should be. special accolades for CHRIS BROWN my go to guy always helpful. amazing guy did a great job explaining the work, schedule, warranty (which is industry leading and worry free--AND TRANSFERABLE when i sell my house in 4-5 years ), Great house selling point. WARRANTY by GAF its the only way to go. VERY PLEASED. LEARN FROM MY MISTAKES PLEASE--my house roof is 22 yrs old had a leak had it fixed by replacing 1/4 or my roof so the shingles would match--that guy who "did this for 30 yrs" did a cra% job my orkin man told me it was about to delaminate didn't use enough nails and poor install. Had someone that did my brother in laws house re-do the mess. used 30yr shingles both times--BUT INSTALLERS ARE ABSOLUTELY CRITICAL. it was better leak fixed but some are curling--both above done over 6-8 months. AT 22 years I'd look at replacing my complex roof (12:12 pitch) next 1-3 yrs. My orkin man told me the only shingles to use (NONE AT LOCAL HOME IMPROVEMENT STORE) WAS GAF--THE NUMBER ONE INSTALLED SHINGLE IN THE NATION. I searched for GAF got search to guide me to SHIELD--to install GAF you have to be a certified, registered installer. Install quality would be CRITICAL leaks are a massive mess. With a 50yr warranty 25 yr labor-- IF I HAD USED GAF 22 YEARS AGO this would have been fixed under warranty and SAVE ME THOUSANDS AND THE LEAK HEADACHE. And if shield goes out of business GAF will find the next closest to fix ALL UNDER WARRANTY---- DON'T CHANCE IT AND ALL THIS QUALITY IS NOT MUCH EXTRA COST--MINE CAME 1/2 BUDGET as per other roofers and will only take 3 days (my roof sq ft is huge--12:12 pitch) LEARN FROM MY MISTAKES I WOULD HAVE SAVED MANY THOUSAND DOLLARS. GAF OR GO HOME. Your roof is the only thing protecting your house form the ravages of weather."

"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!"

"No problem to report. I've never bought such a service before so I cannot address whether or not the price was reasonable, but the work was done when promised and in a professional manner. The roof looks very good. The plastic windows in the Florida room were well cleaned and that room looks a *lot* better. <br />"

"They finally arrived to replace roof. The guys worked quickly. <br /> I am happy with the overall work, but they left marks on my siding and wall where they threw the old roof down. I spoke to them about it, and they did attempt to clean off the marks. The marks were better , but even after a power wash, there is still evidence of marks. <br /> The company also replaced the gutters and down spouts-no real issues-they look great, as does the roof."

FAQs for roofing installation & roof repair projects in Portsmouth, OH

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.
