Roofing systems provide a number of clues when they need replacing, such as serious leaks and water damage, mold and mildew growth, excessive broken and missing shingles, and granules in the gutters. If it is finally time to upgrade, prepare for new roof installation with these tips. They streamline the process to prevent serious delays and stress.

What to Do Before the Roofers Arrive

1. Make the Neighbors Aware

Let your neighbors know roofing contractors will arrive at your home soon. Make it clear the roofers will mainly work during weekday hours when hopefully most people on your block are at work. However, this forewarning will let them prepare for the noise.

2. Remove Potential Obstructions

Remove anything that can get in the roofing contractors’ way, such as outdoor furniture, yard decor, and outdoor children’s toys. This will also reduce the risk of them getting damaged by falling debris. 

3. Protect Flower Beds & Shrubs

Cover flower beds, shrubs, and plants near your home’s perimeter with breathable covers from a garden supply store to protect them from falling shingles and other debris. Doing so also minimizes the amount of debris in your soil to keep it healthy and your plants happy.

4. Take Belongings Out of Your Attic & Remove Wall Decor

Further prepare for new roof installation by removing all valuable or sentimental belongings from your attic. The vibrations from roofers walking and hammering creates dust that will likely coat everything stored there. Additionally, these same vibrations can cause art on the walls to fall and should be removed for safe-keeping.
