What to expect....
|
In
addition to the various roofing information provided throughout our
site, we wanted to provide you with a few tips that may be helpful
during a roof repair.
During
re-roofing, your home will be a construction site. Following the
guidelines below will help the roofing work go more smoothly. Please
browse the rest of our site for more roofing tips and information. |
 |
PLAN
FOR THE NOISE. There will be hammering during most phases of your re-roofing
project. Plan your schedule accordingly.
We
will need access to your roof via the driveway, in most cases. Please park
vehicles out of this area while work is in progress and for delivery of
materials.
|
 |
Remove
loosely hung items from the walls and bring in any items around the eves of the
house that could be damaged by falling shingles.
Please
keep children and pets away from work area.
Check
gas utility ventilation stacks to ensure none have dislodged during re-roofing.
(The roofers or an inspector will check this for you if you provide access to
your attic.) |
Special note for re-decks (cedar shake rips): Have your belongings stored in the attic covered.
Wood shingles and splinters may fall into the attic during tear-off of the old
roof.
Please
contact our office if you have any questions or if we can be of further
assistance.
