The cost to lift a roof varies. It is dependent on the specifications of each project. In most cases, a budgetary number can be calculated based on the number of square feet to be lifted. Specifications such as the height and the number of existing columns are additional factors. The entire cost of a roof
Roof's of any size can be raised. ROOFLIFTERS has lifted roofs ranging from less than 1000 SF to over 600,000 SF. In most cases the area lifted is determined by the structure itself. Many times sectioned off by the expansion joints in the roof. Typically the largest practical size is around 150,000 SF in a
Most commercial and industrial roofs do not exceed clear heights of 45 feet. That is not to say, however, that lifting is limited to that height. ROOFLIFTERS has lifted structures as high as 72 feet.
Absolutely not. The ROOFLIFTERS process is specifically designed to address this concern. Lifting can be more than double or even triple the existing height since we do not rely on column sleeves.
Roof weight is not a factor for our company. The ROOFLIFTERS system is designed so that each post has a lifting capacity of 25 tons. In cases where the weight exceeds 25 tons, the CribPosts are simply clustered to accommodate the weight. In some cases, interior columns can require two, three, or even four CribPosts
Clients often ask, "does the roofing material need to be replaced?" No. In fact, no work related to actual lifting ever takes place on the surface of the roof itself. Our process is designed so that the very little of the existing roofing, decking, and framing requires any repair. While repairs will be necessary around
There is no minimum amount of square feet that you lift. However, for economic efficiency, it becomes impractical in most cases to lift a roof that is less than 2,000 SF. However, this is not to say that our company has not lifted smaller roofs. In some instances, a small section of a larger roof
Through the use of a synchronization system, designed and patented by ROOFLIFTERS, the actual movement of each lifting point is monitored as opposed to the amount of hydraulic oil that is being pumped. This provides an extremely accurate measurement of each point and allows large areas of a roof to be lifted at one time.
