Report
I used Raise the Roof for two major projects on my home. The first was 30 years ago, when I added a major addition for a kitchen. They also put on a very large deck at the same time. I was very happy with the quality of work and also with the professionalism of the crew and owner, Steve Paterno. When it came time for my mother to stop living alone, I called on Raise the Roof again to put on a mother-in -law suite. This time they also organized a patio addition. Everything went smoothly thru the drawings, permits, inspections, and the completion of the job. They came in right on budget and also

My husband and I recently completed a project in Clark with Raise the Roof. Dealing with this company was very professional. They were knowledgeable and did a beautiful job. Their end of the job was completed in a timely manner and they were always willing to answer any of our questions. I highly recommend using Raise the Roof for any addition you would like to do.

Raise the Roof was actually a recommendation from a friend in town! When my husband and I decided to do some home remodeling we were unsure of the company to use because we weren't sure who would be reliable. After completing construction with Raise the Roof, I can say that they are extremely reliable and efficient! We added on two bedrooms and 1 bathroom. We loved working with Steve, and would recommend him time and time again! Thanks Steve!

Raise the Roof came highly recommended by our friends. They had worked three times with Steve Paterno. We had some major damage from Hurricane Sandy. RTR replaced a third of our rafters / roof / cedar siding shingles, etc. Steve said it would take about 6 days and the project came on schedule, as promised.
Actually, painless. So, like our friends, we also recommend RTR.
