Getting someone to do roof raise

Hi folks!

We are probably going to want to do a roof raise, but we’re not confident in doing this sort of work ourselves, so we’re hoping to find someone to do it for us. A few questions:

- Know anyone who has done roof raises who might be willing to do one for us, on a 30-plus foot bus, located in the Northeastern U.S.?

- How much should we expect to pay for such a project?

- Other requirements we should have or things we should consider?

Thank you!

You may get lucky if you're willing to travel. I've seen people offer their help with roof raises on here before

Thank you for the suggestion! We are willing to travel, particularly along the East Coast (FL to ME) and around the Northeast region, though potentially beyond. Anyone want to help us with a roof raise? Feel free to send me a private message. Advice on what type of professional person could do such work (an auto mechanic? that seems a bit odd) also appreciated. Thanks!
