If you’re planning a full roof replacement this spring, you’ll need to work with a professional contractor who can get the job done right. You can’t just hire any other roofer, however; it must be a professional roof service contractor who has a good reputation within the local community. And to ensure that your roof replacement goes as smoothly as possible, you’ll need to start preparing your home for the upcoming project. Fields Roof Service, Inc. shares a few tips to help you out:
Clear Your Attic
One of the first things you should do when preparing your home for a roofing project is to protect the valuables and other furniture stored in the attic. Any jewelry, heirlooms, antiques, or other similar items must be moved to a place that’s safe from the dust and debris from the roofing construction. If some items such as furniture are too big or heavy to move, cover them with plastic sheet, tarp, or some other drop cloth to keep them safe from the dust and damage.
Take Down Hanging Items
As your roof is being replaced, your indoors may vibrate, causing some of your hanging items such as photos and mirrors on the walls to shift and even fall to the floor if they’re not properly secured. To avoid damage, make sure to take them down and place them somewhere safe. And as a trusted roof service company, you should also safely take down any glass fixtures such as chandeliers or lights. This is to prevent accidental injury to anyone walking underneath them during roofing construction.
Inform Your Neighbors
You wouldn’t want your neighbors to suddenly walk onto your property and complain about the noise that’s happening during the roofing process. Make sure to inform your next-door neighbors in advance about the disturbance and debris that are to be expected during the roof replacement project. Letting them know that there’s a construction going on will make them more tolerant and understanding of the situation.
