You have everything set up with the roofing contractor for roof replacement. You have picked out the material, chosen just the right color for your new roof, and examined all the work that needs to be done. Now your house is going to become one big construction zone. Are you ready for this? If you’re not sure, Walter St. Clair Roofing of Cincinnati, OH, has great advice to help make sure you’re prepared for your next roofing project.

Here are a few ways to prepare ahead of time for a roof replacement:

• Clear the Area Around Your House: All the materials for installing your roof are going to be set up close to the house. Park your cars away from the driveway to make more room. Also, take away any obstacles that might get in the way of reaching the roof. Make sure no children or pets are near the perimeter of the roof when it is being installed.
• Cover Your Valuables: There may be falling debris during a roof replacement, so cover your items in the garage and attic. If you have a light or fan in the attic, turn off their power. Cleanup will happen afterward, but be proactive by covering your more treasured items during roof repair or replacement.
• Prepare for Lots of Noise: Replacing a roof makes a lot of noise. Imagine hammers, nail guns, and nails being used — it can get loud! If these noises will bother you, wear headphones or spend some time away from the house while roofing work is going on.

After the job is finished, you should receive a final report from your roofing contractor, and they’ll clean up your property to remove any debris.
