A roof installation is a major construction project, but a little preparation on your part can make the process smoother and less stressful for everyone involved. At Roofing Experts Us, we want you to feel confident and prepared from start to finish. Here is your comprehensive guide to getting ready for roofing day.
Start with the exterior of your home. Clear your driveway and any areas immediately around your home’s foundation. Our crew will need space to park a dumpster, set up staging areas, and position equipment. Move all vehicles, boats, and trailers off the property if possible. Next, protect your landscaping. Move potted plants, patio furniture, grills, and garden decorations away from the house. For plants that can’t be moved, consider covering them with lightweight tarps to catch falling debris. Trimming any overhanging tree branches will also give our crew clear access and prevent damage to your trees.
Inside your home, the vibrations from roofing work can sometimes dislodge items on walls and shelves. Take the time to remove pictures, mirrors, and any other breakables from walls that share a structure with the roof. It’s also wise to remove items from your attic or cover them with tarps to protect them from the fine dust that can sometimes filter through. The noise from a roofing project is significant, so if you have young children who nap during the day or if you work from home, you may want to make alternative arrangements.
Don’t forget to inform your neighbors about the upcoming project. They’ll appreciate the heads-up about the temporary noise and activity. It’s also a good opportunity to discuss any potential parking adjustments to ensure our trucks and trailers can access the street. Finally, ensure our team has a clear path to any outdoor water spigots they may need. On the day of installation, keep pets safely inside and away from the work area. By following these simple steps, you’ll help us complete your new roof efficiently and safely, allowing you to enjoy your investment sooner.
