"Prestige Roofing was fantastic! I would hire them again in a minute. They were punctual, thorough in their work and followed up with us after the job was done. The quote was broken down in extensive detail so there were no surprises and any questions were answered expediently. I would recommend them highly for any roof repair needs!"

"The whole precess went very smoothly. Brian O'Neill from Viola Roofing came out (this was Fall 2018), went up on the roof, and gave me the best (lowest) estimate of the three contractors I called. He is a straight shooter. Since the weather was mild, his crew was able to remove the old roof and install the new one in mi-January of 2019. I requested that they also look at a minor gutter problem while the work was ongoing, and Brian had it fixed for no additional charge! It's now been a year and the roof is holding up great and looks great too. I highly recommend this company and will definitely call them again the next time I need a contractor."

"Harco Exteriors did an excellent job ! The carpentry and repairs were top notch, and the price was very fair. The crew was professional and always pleasant. They did our roof about 10 years ago, and they were our first choice for painting. Thanks again Harco, the house looks fantastic !"

"FRS Roofing and Gutter Services performs their work extremely well. This company was selected to replace our roof because of their great track record, experience and ability to answer all of our questions to perform the work. We met with the owner of the company who is very knowledgeable, polite and professional. He thourghly reviewed their process for removing and installing a new roof. It was very easy dealing with FRS as they reviewed roofing options, colors and underlayment. The process was explained clearly as was the pricing and contract terms as well as expectations. They took care of everything. The customer service even among the team that worked at our house was very professional and courteous. The process went extremely smooth, and the construction area was kept very clean before and after the work was completed. We were left with a quality job and a great experience with the whole process. All our expectations were exceeded. It’s nice to see a well-rounded company that performs at a high level in all areas. I highly recommend FRS Roofing and Gutter Services for your roofing needs."

"We just had our roof replaced by Global Roofing. It was amazing to work with Andrea and Freddy. We couldn’t have been happier with the whole experience! We got several quotes for our roofing job, changed our mind about the material along the way (went from metal to asphalt), and Andrea and Freddy were great throughout the process. Global Roofing had the best recommendations (one of the reasons we chose them), and after working with them we know why! Communication was amazing, if there were any delays due to ordering supplies like the skylights we were immediately informed, and the final scheduling for the project was also easy. I was at work all day while they were actually doing the roof, and other than the new beautiful roof on my house I was not able to tell that any contractors were at my house all!!! They covered the house in tarps while taking the old shingles off, and the entire surrounding area of my house was spotless when they left! And the Final product looks great! A truly great company, and I am looking forward to hire them for future projects!"

"We had a water leak in the roof from near the chimney in the roof. We called Lifetime roofing and Kyle was very responsive and was able to schedule a repair before the next rain storm. Very professional and awesome to work and did an amazing job. He even called and checked post the next rain storm to make sure the fix is working. Would definitely use them again when its time to replace the roof."

"Great job by all the men involved. I’m tired of the waiting and not showing up. REI roofing was there when they said they would be and did a fantastic. They even went the extra mile to do things right at no extra cost! They are the best at what they do! And I would have them back in a moment. Unfortunately their repairs are so good I probably won’t see them for 20 to 30 years. That makes me sad.?"

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