Getting a new roof extends the life span of your home and helps ensure the health and safety of all who live within it. To make certain the roofing installation process goes as smoothly as possible, there are some steps you can take to prepare your home and family. Below, the roofing contractors at Superior Products in Cincinnati, OH, discuss a few of these steps in more detail.

How to Prepare Your Home for a New Roof Installation

Give Roofers Easy Access to Your Roof

Not surprisingly, a new roof is a major undertaking. You want to give your roofing professionals clear and easy access to the location. This means moving your vehicles out of the driveway; removing any debris from the drive, sidewalk, and yard; and picking up any toys, outdoor furniture, and other pieces that might make it more difficult to get to the roof. If you have heavier objects in your yard or on a patio or deck, such as a grill or stone birdbath, put a tarp or plastic sheet over them to keep them protected.

Safeguard Items in Your Attic

It's a definite possibility that the things stored in your attic will get dirty or dusty during the installation process. If you have mementos that are particularly meaningful, with either monetary or sentimental value, you might consider moving them out of the attic entirely. For everything else, a drop-cloth can go a long way in keeping boxes and stored items safe.

Ready Both the Interior & Exterior of Your Home

Before the roofers arrive, mow your lawn. This will make the post-installation cleanup easier as nails and debris will be easier to spot. Inside your home, you may want to think about removing any expensive artwork, mirrors, or special photos from walls on the upper floor. There is a lot of hammering with a new roof, and you don't want to risk any breakage of the furnishings you treasure.
