How to Prepare For Your Roof Replacement

Five Important Steps to Take 

Once you’ve decided on a new roof to replace your existing one, and you’ve selected a trustworthy roofing company to handle the job, the next step is readying your roof for the work ahead. While you have the option of simply letting your roofing contractor take over, you can ensure the process goes as smoothly as possible by taking a few simple steps before your contractor ever steps foot on your property. 

Take a look below to find out five essential steps to making sure your roof replacement with Arrow Home Improvements goes off without a hitch. 
  • Move Any Valuables – Find a place to park your vehicles, patio furniture, or anything else from your lawn during the duration of the project. The work zone on and surrounding the roof should be cleared of valuable belongings, as this area is prone to falling debris. 

  • Have a Plan for Kids and Pets – More importantly than your vehicle is your children and pets. Make sure they’re out of the way of the roofing project. You may even prefer to bring the children elsewhere during the work, as there will be loud noises that may be unpleasant.

  • Prepare for Vibrations – Roofing work is intense and can cause walls to vibrate. We recommend moving anything valuable that hangs precariously from your walls and ceilings to ensure they stay in one piece. 

  • Take Care of Landscaping – Any tree branches interfering with your roof should be taken care of before your roofing contractor arrives. If you need to call a landscaper to handle this dangerous work, do so before calling your roofing company. 

  • Notify Your Neighbors – Roofing replacement is extensive enough that the sounds or activity may disturb them. Make sure you notify the neighbors around your property well in advance.
