A new roof is a major but worthwhile investment that can protect your home for years to come. Although we will handle all phases of the roofing installation project for you, there are a few simple steps you can take beforehand to make the process smoother, safer, and more efficient.
Start by clearing your driveway and move vehicles away from your house. Our roofing crew will need easy access to unload materials, position equipment, and safely dispose of old roofing materials. Removing your vehicles also protects them from falling debris.
Next, secure or remove any valuable items you have stored in your attic. The roofing installation process will create vibrations that can loosen dust and occasionally shift stored belongings. Covering or relocating important items can help you prevent damage.
Inside your home, take down fragile wall decorations, mirrors, and shelves, if possible. The vibrations from roofing work may cause items to move or fall, especially on upper floors. Outside of your home, move patio furniture, grills, potted plants, and other outdoor items away from the work area. This will give our roofing crew plenty of room to work safely.
We also recommend letting your neighbors know about the upcoming work. The roofing installation process can be noisy and giving those around you advance notice is a courteous gesture.
With a little planning, your roofing installation project will be completed safely, efficiently, and with minimal disruption to your daily routine. Contact us today to learn more about what to expect when we install your new roof.
