"Lake Point Roofing was very attentive to detail, thorough, tidy before and after the job, and professional. I am very pleased with the results of my new roofs, and would recommend their services. In addition, my neighbor, who works with roofing contractors, watched throughout the installation process, and told me that they did an excellent job."

"The experience I had with CAPA Construction, Inc. was the best experience I have ever had with the building trades. The level of communication and responsiveness was exceptional during all aspects of the job from sales to post installation.. I especially appreciated dealing with the President of the company, Tom Saner, versus a sales representative as I did getting other quotes for this project. CAPA offered valued added services as part of their pricing structure like removal and re- installation of window treatments and replacement and painting of the window trim. It was a turnkey offering at a cost lower than some of the other quotes I received. Also, other window style options were offered based upon what our specific needs were. That advise guided our selections. Finally, the crew sent were actual carpenters that knew what they were doing, were respectful of my home with a very clean approach to their work. I highly recommend CAPA Construction and will use them again. B. Carso, Downers Grove, IL."

"I wasn't sure what to list as a price as we've used David Lancaster's AAA Better Roof a few times over the years although our most recent contact had no charges.  So I listed a rough total of all that we've spent with his company. <br> <br>The first was when we had our Cedar Shake roof replaced in 2000 or 2001 (about $9,000 for the job).  The second was in 2013 when there were a few repairs and some other work done (about $2,500 for the job).  Most recently he came out to inspect for damage as I was concerned that a recent hail storm might have caused damage.  On the most recent job he showed my exactly what the hail did in pictures and why no replacement was needed at this time.  He noticed a couple shingles missing (normal with this type of roof over time) and made some minor replacements at no charge. <br> <br>I wasn't a member of Angie's list when the past work was done, but I am now and his most recent vist reminded me of how pleased I've been with his work including the promptness of his responses, how informative his estimates have been (photos to clearly show exact issues), and the quality of his work.  <br> <br>I would recommend AAA Roofing and would use them again for future roofing needs. <br> <br> <br>"

Service was scheduled and completed in one day and all communication before, during and after completion was prompt and accurate. Quality was excellent. I would highly recommend W Brothers Roofing.

"Spandikow was very quick to respond to my email requesting a quote for a new roof. We ended up going with him because of his responsiveness and price. We put the deposit on a credit card, and there is an additional 3% fee for that, which he explained to us. There was a bit of miscommunication regarding the start date of the work, but he was apologetic and rescheduled us very quickly. His crew was on time, professional and cleaned up everything. They tore off our old roof and did our new roof in one day, which we were really impressed by! Would definitely recommend."

"Roof deck had rotted and plywood was delaminating until it was unsafe to walk on and moister had begun to appear in attic space. Larry and his crew did a fine job over two days replacing the roof deck/shingles adding a ridge vent to eliminate future issues with mold and inadequate tactic ventilation. Overall experience was great - the only area of improvement would be to get after it on clean up and damage to yard and plants. But...would use again and recommend to anyone needing a roof!"

From the first phone call to the completion of the job, they have been courteous, professional, and honest. You can tell it’s a family-owned business because of the way they treat you and get the job done. If you need roofing, siding, or gutters, these are your people!"

"Josh, the owner of Lifetime Xteriors, and his crew were very professional and very prompt. I had some repairs that I needed done and not only were these problems fixed but also others that I did not know about. I would hugely recommend this company to anyone that needs a new roof or needs any kind of repair work. Going forward if I ever need any other work done to my roof, this company will definitely be the first call I make."

"Tore off roof, didn't protect tomato garden and tomato cages and tomatoes. Tar marks on siding and tore a screen. Was compensated for screen. Cleanup was not satisfactory and they sent a guy back when done to rectify. All these things I could deal with. <br /> The issue I have is that after tearoff the wood siding that was exposed was obviously rotten. Siding was also bad on dormer valleys. When roof was torn off some of the trim that was bad fell off. Not their fault, it was bad and needed replacement. My issue is that I wasn't notified or told of this. I found out the next big rain when dormers leaked into house. I realize they weren't hired to repair dormers. It's a two story home and something I couldn't initially identify from ground. I would liked to have thought someone would have brought this to my attention. The Dormer valleys are leaking, and today I have a different outfit coming to repair as well as repair siding. Pretty much everywhere siding meets roofline is being repaired. <br /> The house didnt leak before the tearoff, granted the wood was rotten and needed to be replaced.  They never told me anything about this trim that was falling off or that i needed it replaced.  There only concern was shingling the roof. As for them calling themselves Preferred Roofing and Exteriors?  I guess that's misleading because they don't do anything other than roofs.. <br /> Finally the dormers all have metal roofs.  They were in bad shape and the roofer said he didn't repair these. So I hired another crew to come and fix what should have been done in the first place. <br />"

FAQs for roofing installation & roof repair projects in South Elgin, IL

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.
