How to Be Prepared for Your Roofing Project
  1. Be prepared for noise! Roofers typically start as early as daylight. There will be constant hammering for one or two days, depending on the size of your home. You may want to plan a day away from the house while the job is in progress.
  2. Remove all loose items from shelves/walls: i.e. pictures, plates, and figurines. Hammering may create vibration that shake these items off.
  3. Remove all items from around your home where roofing debris or bundles of shingles might fall, patio furniture, potted plants, gardening equipment, and grills. We take every precaution to protect your plants, trees, and shrubs. However, some leaves or blooms may be knocked off from falling debris especially on very steep roofs.
  4. Please remove your cars, motorcycles, bicycles, boats, etc. out of the area where work is being done. We will need access to driveway in order to load shingles and clean up.
  5. KEEP SMALL CHILDREN AND PETS AWAY FROM THE WORK AREA.
  6. Occasionally, we will use power tools to cut decking, or shingles. Please check you power breakers to make sure they are operating correctly.
  7. Nails that fall from the roof during the job will be picked up with a magnet nail roller. We will make every effort to pick up all nails. Please be advised however, that a few nails - hidden in the grass or shrubbery - may remain.
  8. If your roof is a re-deck, have someone check your attic to make sure that your heater vent and furnace vents have been properly attached after roofing.
