When a residential roofing system starts showing its age with broken and missing tiles, granules in the gutters, daylight through roof boards, leaks, sagging areas, and other issues, repairs aren’t enough. A roof replacement provides the lasting solution that improves home comfort, lowers energy bills, and increases property value. Below is a guide about how to prepare for an upcoming roof replacement to streamline the process.

Roof Replacement Prep Tips to Follow 

1. Alert the Neighbors

Let the neighbors know that roofing contractors will be working on your home in the coming weeks. Make it clear that the work will take place during the day when most of them aren’t home instead of in the early morning, late evening, or on weekends.

Discuss the work scope and timeline in case they want to move their vehicles from the street or schedule appointments when the noise level is highest so they don’t have to deal with it.

2. Clear the Yard

Remove all lawn furniture and decor from your front, back, and side yards to keep items damage-free and eliminate contractor tripping hazards.

Also, cover any flower beds close to your home that can get damaged from falling debris with row covers or related fabric.

3. Check the Attic

Assess your attic for safety purposes since the contractors will likely require access. 

If there’s anything of monetary or sentimental value in your attic, place these items in a spare room or another safe location to keep them damage-free.

4. Remove Wall Decor 

Store picture frames, mirrors, and other wall decor in a bedroom or other viable location. The vibrations from roofing contractors hammering, removing materials, and even walking on your roof can occasionally cause frames to fall off the walls.
