A roof replacement is a complicated, expensive undertaking. To protect your investment over the long term, the experienced contractors at Farley’s Roofing, Inc. in Elyria, OH, say it’s crucial to schedule an assessment before any work begins. Here’s why taking this extra step is so important.

Why Should You Schedule an Inspection First?

If you replace your roof without fixing issues with the existing structure, you’ll eventually find yourself dealing with a wide variety of headache-inducing problems. An assessment ensures you don’t find yourself in this situation. Before the roof replacement project begins, a professional will carefully examine the structure for any significant damage. They’ll check the supporting beams, and they’ll ensure the chimney is structurally sound and not prone to leaks. An expert will also take a look at your gutters to ensure they are properly rerouting water away from your home.

How to Prepare for a Roof Replacement

Remove valuable items from the attic, and take pictures and other wall hangings down so they don’t fall; many of the tools the roofers will use cause vibrations. Ensure there is a place for the team to park and a clear path from their truck to your home so they can carry materials. Finally, keep the kids inside while the crew is working, and let your neighbors know you’ll be having some work done on the house.
