You bit the bullet and invested in a new roof for your home. What should you do next? While the actual replacement process is now squarely in the hands of professionals, the efforts you make to prepare your house and yard can go a long way. Our experts at Roofingclaims.com have been replacing roofs for a long time; we know just what you can do to make your installation day seamless and safe for all!

Give Your Roofers The Right Of Way

Replacing your roof is a gargantuan task, made more complicated by the size of your house and the spaciousness of your yard. Simplify things for your roofer by providing uncluttered access to all sides of your house. Clear your yard of large furniture and move any parked vehicles to the street or nearby public parking area. It’s wise to remove items you wouldn’t want to be damaged before the threat of damage becomes imminent. If you forget this step, you may no longer have a roof to replace but a car to repair, so play it safe by giving your roofers a wide berth in the yard below. 

Sound The Alert About Your Renovation

By investing in a new roof and hiring a reputable roofing company, you are already serving your neighborhood well. Proper home maintenance such as roof replacement keeps your house from becoming an eyesore to your community. Be a good neighbor and keep others abreast of any construction projects you have scheduled. The noise from a roof replacement can be cacophonous and disruptive to your neighbors, no matter the time of day. Give them the heads-up about your roof replacement, and you’ll stay on their good side for years to come. 

Clear Your Walls And Secure Your Windows

As you brace yourself and your neighborhood for the coming construction disruption, understand that loud noises are only half of it. The ruckus we raise from our roofing equipment also generates substantial vibration, rustling your walls slightly. Although these vibrations will not damage your house’s structure, they may disturb any wall hangings you have. Before our roofers arrive, inspect the walls beneath your roof and remove anything that may sustain damage if it falls. Framed photographs, paintings, and other decorative wall hangings are safer stored on the floor or a table for the duration of your roof installation.

Your windows are similarly sensitive to the vibrations of operating equipment, so it’s a good idea to make sure all windows are closed and latched before we begin working. If your windows are particularly fragile, you may choose to stabilize the glass with plywood boards. We recommend boarding up as a safety precaution to eliminate the risk of your windows shattering and leaking precipitation, glass shards, or other harmful debris into your home.
