Whether you're installing a new roof or doing a couple of repairs, nothing about roof work is simple. The height alone can make this kind of work incredibly dangerous, and if you don’t have the correct equipment or experience, working on your roof can turn into a nightmare scenario. When Oahu residents need the best roofing contractors, they turn to the roofers at Tory's Roofing & Waterproofing in Pearl City. These professionals believe in safety first and want to make sure that when you're doing roof work, you're always being safe.

• Don’t Work Alone: Accidents happen. To make sure you’re protected, you should never work on a roofing project alone. Tory's Roofing & Waterproofing is home to a team of roofing contractors who watch each other’s backs, and who will be glad to help you complete a roofing job both safely and effectively.
• Watch Your Ladder: Always make sure your ladder is on a solid, level surface. Also, it’s a good idea to use a stabilizer, which attaches to the top of the ladder to keep it where it needs to be. If your ladder can only sit on a dirt or grass surface, Tory's Roofing & Waterproofing recommends digging holes to hold the bottom of the ladder in place.
• Wear the Right Shoes: Shoes are vital to keeping your footing. The right shoes can ensure that you don’t slip on the roof's surface no matter how steep the incline is or how slippery the shingles are. As an extra tip, never wear old boots with worn-away treads.
• Clean First: Before you start replacing tiles or fixing cracks, clean your roof of dirt and debris. When you’re working, the last thing you want to worry about is tripping over debris or kneeling on an old nail. The roofers at Tory's Roofing & Waterproofing always take the time to sweep a roof so it's completely clean before they begin working.

  

• Consider the Weather: It’s not always a good time to work on your roof. If it recently rained, there’s no reason to put yourself at risk by walking on a wet surface. If a storm is on the way, save working on your roof until the sky is clear and the weather is better. You don’t want to be caught on your roof in the middle of a storm.
