If you’re scheduled to get a roof replacement, there are ways that you can make the process go smoothly. That way, when your roofing contractor shows up, they can finish the job as quickly as possible. The following will provide you with some helpful tips on how to prepare for this service. 

Do: 

Consider new roofing materials.  

This is an opportunity to upgrade to a different kind of roof if you’re interested. If you needed a roof replacement sooner than expected, you might want to install metal roofing, which provides long-lasting protection to your home with excellent insulation while being aesthetically pleasing. Discuss your options with the roofing contractor before their arrival to make an informed decision.

Clear the area.

If you have an attic, move everything inside it to another room until the job is done, or at least cover the valuables with plastic sheets or drop cloths. 

Inform your neighbors of the work. 

Roof replacement can be noisy and messy. Letting your neighbors know when to expect the roofers will let them plan their day accordingly. That way, they can be out of the area, which may prevent complaints that could delay the project.

Don't: 

Leave wall pictures or mirrors up. 

The process of roof replacement often causes the walls to vibrate, so your hanging objects could get shaken off and break on the floor. Take down any mirrors and other fragile wall decorations and set them somewhere secure.

Let pets and small children roam. 

Roof construction can result in falling debris, so you should stay away from the area surrounding your home while the roofers work. If you have pets or children, make sure they’re occupied with activities in remote parts of the house or away from the home entirely. Watch out for your neighbors’ pets and kids as well.

Go anywhere while the roofing company is working. 

The roofers need access to your house to do their job, which is easier if you’re around. It’s also helpful if you’re there to answer any unexpected questions as they come up.
