As your roofing company, we respect your home and property. We do all we can to protect your belongings, but there’s no harm in going that extra mile to ensure nothing goes wrong. The following are a few tips for keeping your home safe during a new roof installation.

Check Your Attic

If you’re like many homeowners, your attic is filled with treasures. Unfortunately, these spaces can be dusty. Much of that debris may shake loose during a roof replacement. Move any valuables or sentimental pieces to a new area. Large items that are left behind, like furniture, can be covered with a tarp.

Secure Wall Art

There may be vibrations throughout your home during the roof replacement process. This could possibly knock things off your walls. Make sure all of those photos, paintings, and prints are secure. If possible, you may want to take them down. Don’t forget about shelves, especially those holding special items.

Protect Your Windows

There will be a lot of falling debris as we remove your old roofing materials. While we are careful, there is a possibility of something hitting your windows. As an added layer of protection, you can cover your windows with a tarp or boards. If you have functional shutters, close them.

Be Ready for Noise

Replacing your roof is not a quiet project. Be ready for this disruption. If you have small children, this can make nap time extremely difficult. It’s also a major distraction if you work from home. Make arrangements to compensate for these issues ahead of time. It’s nice to give your neighbors a little warning too.

Protect Your Landscaping

You invest a lot of time and money into the landscaping around your home. To minimize damage to plants and shrubs, cover them with a tarp. Take all of your outdoor furniture and planters off of your deck or patio and put them in a safe place. This could be in a garage, storage unit, or further out in your yard if you have enough space.

Move Your Vehicles

It only takes a few minutes to move your vehicles, but it will certainly bring you peace of mind. Ask to park in a neighbor’s driveway or simply move your cars to the street while we are working on your roof.
