You’ll need to have your new roofing system installed before you can benefit from its reliable and lasting weather performance. But the process–let’s admit it–will not only be loud, but also messy and potentially damaging to your home and personal property. Unless you prepare accordingly, that is. The premier residential roofing company in the area, Roofer Chicks®, shares how you can better prepare your home for a new roof installation.
-
Have the trees close to your home trimmed back. This way, your contractor will have easier and better access to the roof area. Cutting back any encroaching branches can also protect your new roof from impact damage during storm season, while also preventing any blockages that can hinder your gutters’ draining performance.
-
Secure the items that are generally placed near your home. These may include patio furniture, lawn and garden equipment, potted plants and children’s toys. You can store them inside the shed in the meantime. But if you don’t have the additional storage space, you can protect these items against damage by covering them up with a tarp.
-
Clear the driveway. Most contractors use the driveway as a staging area for new roofing materials. It’s also the spot where the trash bin or dumpster is usually placed. You might want to move your motor vehicle elsewhere, not just to protect them against damage from roof debris, but to keep the driveway more accessible to the roofing crew.
-
Coordinate with your roofing contractor. The task of protecting your home and property from possible damage during a roof installation is not actually yours to shoulder alone. Your choice of roofing contractor should also have measures in place that ensure it. For this reason, make sure that you and your roofer are on the same page about keeping mess to a minimum, and preventing damage to your property, while the project is ongoing. If you work with Roofer Chicks® for your roofing upgrade, for example, you can expect us to:
-
Protect the grassy area directly beneath the roofline with tarps so it will stay safe and intact against roof debris.
-
Attend the areas that may need special protection during your roof installation, such as the pool, hot tub, children’s play area or vegetable garden.
-
Keep your property free of stray nails and other roof debris.
