CALL MENU ROOF LIFTING Add more space without modifying your footprint by expanding vertically. Norristown, PA, USA - The Why, How, and Cost of a Roof Lifting Project Adding space through new construction is costly. Zoning regulations, new taxes, and finding land to build on takes time and money. Relocating to a larger home or building is another option, but again, costs add up quickly. There is another option. Increase the square footage within your existing footprint by raising the roof. A roof lifting project utilizes your existing roof, raised to the desired height, and reattached and secured to the support columns. Building owners across the country are choosing roof raising as a fast, affordable way to double or triple the cubic space of their building. This 11,000 sq. ft. roof was lifted 16′ to create extra space for this Bohemia, NY testing facility. Why Lift a Roof? Roof raising is normally done for commercial buildings, especially warehouses with lower ceiling height. By raising the roof, you can double or even triple the height and usable storage space in your building. This is done in a safe manner that reduces downtime and spares the waste that a new construction project would entail. Whether you need an additional foot or 25 feet, a roof raising project gives you the headroom your operation needs. You can also raise the roof of your home or residential structure to add more square footage to your home.
