How to Prepare Your Home for Roof Installation

Once you’ve found a good contractor to work with for your roofing project, you’ll have to install your new roof afterward. This process can take anywhere from a couple of days to a few weeks, depending on the skills of your contractor and the size of your roof. As such, it’s important to prepare your home for such a project. Your local roof repair company, Roofmasters Roofing and Sheet Metal share how you can prepare your home for roof installation here.

Trim the Grass

You should accomplish this before the installation project begins. This will make it easier for your roofing contractors to use their magnetic nail finder to get nails and staples that might fall off during the roof installation process. You could encounter a flat tire if your car runs over one of these, making it an important step you shouldn’t miss.

Cover Your Furniture

Your residential roofing replacement contractor will recommend setting a tarp or a large plastic sheet on the items in your attic. The gaps in your decking could allow debris such as dirt, shingles, and nails to accumulate on your insulation and furniture. Doing so will make it easier to clean up your attic after the installation or replacement process.

Move Your Vehicles Away Temporarily

We strongly suggest that you move your parked car somewhere safe during the roof replacement project. This will prevent debris from falling on your vehicle as the workers clean debris off your roofing system. Make sure that you work with a reputable roofing company that can pull off the job safely and efficiently. They should also clean and sanitize the project area thoroughly afterward, which is especially important during this day and age.
