When your roof incurs severe damages or reaches the end of its lifespan, you’ll likely need a replacement. As your new roof installation appointment approaches, you should make a handful of preparations so that the process goes smoothly and efficiently. Here are a few helpful do’s and don’ts on how to get ready for your roof replacement.

Do:

Tell your neighbors.

As a common courtesy, you should let your neighbors know you have a roof replacement on the horizon. Doing so will allow them to prepare for loud noises and prevent them from becoming frightened by unfamiliar workers. Additionally, tell them the anticipated timeline for the project.

Remove wall hangings.

Since roof replacements involve roof replacementnailing, hammering, and other harsh gestures, the vibrations may cause your artwork, mirrors, and family portraits to fall off your walls. Prevent them from becoming damaged by removing them in advance of your roof replacement.

Don’t:

Allow kids or pets onsite.

You should keep children and pets away from your home during the roof replacement process. They could become injured by fallen roofing materials or stepping on stray hardware. Have your kids stay with a friend or family member, and arrange to board your dogs and cats.

Forget to protect patio furniture.

Your contractor will remove your old roofing materials before installing the replacement. This process means discarded materials may fall and damage any outdoor furniture in their path. Prevent this by moving your chairs and tables indoors or beneath a covered area.
