A roof replacement or repair job is a big project that requires careful planning. By making the right preparations, you can ensure the project will go smoothly and that you’ll be happy with the end result.
In this article, trusted Illinois roofer Steinmeyer Roofing, INC shares what homeowners should do to prepare for an upcoming roofing job.
What to Expect
Roof work can be extremely disruptive to your household’s daily routine. Be prepared to deal with the noise and dust from the construction. The duration of the project will depend on the kind of work your roof needs, but most roofing jobs can be completed within two days. It’s up to you if you want to stay at home or temporarily move out while the roof project is underway.
A Simple Checklist
While a reputable roofing contractor will do their best to make the entire roofing project a hassle-free experience for you, there are a few things you can do to make the project run smoother. Refer to this checklist before the roofing crew arrives onsite:
- Cover your lawn or garden with a tarp or a layer of plywood to protect the grass and your prized blooms from debris that may fall from the roof. This step also entails moving or covering any lawn ornaments or outdoor decor that might get damaged while construction is underway.
- Park your vehicles inside the garage or farther away from the driveway to avoid dents on your automobiles.
- Secure loose fixtures such as picture frames hanging on the wall and cover your attic with a large sheet to catch the construction dust.
