Embarking on a roof replacement is a significant step toward protecting your home, and a little preparation can make the entire process seamless. Here at Accurate America, we believe in empowering homeowners with the knowledge they need for a stress-free experience. Taking a few simple steps before our crew arrives ensures that the installation day goes smoothly for everyone and helps safeguard your property from start to finish.
How to Prepare Your Home for a New Roof Installation
Clear the Perimeter of Your Home
Before our roof replacement contractors arrive, it’s essential to clear the area around your home’s foundation. We recommend moving patio furniture, grills, potted plants, and garden decorations at least fifteen feet away from the house. This creates a safe zone for our team and protects your valuable belongings from falling debris during the tear-off phase.
Protect Your Interior and Attic Space
Roofing work can create vibrations and dust that may filter into your home, especially the attic. We advise covering any items stored in your attic with tarps or plastic sheeting to keep them clean. It’s also wise to remove any fragile items or pictures from walls that might be shaken loose by the vibrations on the roof.
Plan for Children and Pets
A roof installation can be loud and stressful for little ones and furry friends. For their safety and comfort, we suggest planning for them to be away from the home during the most active workdays. Arranging a playdate or a visit to a friend's or family member's house will ensure they are not disturbed by the noise.
Notify Your Immediate Neighbors
A quick heads-up can go a long way in maintaining good neighborly relations. We recommend letting your immediate neighbors know about the scheduled work. Informing them about the potential for noise and the presence of our work vehicles ensures they aren't caught by surprise. This simple courtesy is always appreciated by those living nearby.
This preparation is key to a successful project. By following these steps, you help our professional roof replacement contractors work efficiently and safely, ensuring your new roof is installed to the highest standard.
