Steps You can Take to Protect Your Home During a Roof Replacement

When it comes to replacing your roof, there are several steps you can take to protect your home and property. To ensure a smooth and safe roof replacement process, follow these six steps:

Protect Your Attic:

Cover your belongings in your attic with old sheets, drop cloths, or tarping to prevent dust, debris, or wood splinters from covering them during the replacement process.

Clear Your Patio and Deck:

Remove valuable items from your patio and deck to prevent damage from debris. Consider covering at-risk items like patio furniture, potted plants, and grills with tarps and plywood.

Tarp Your Garden:

Protect your landscaping with tarps or plastic to prevent debris and trash from accumulating. Remove fragile items such as mosaic stepping stones, solar-powered lights, and wind chimes.

Move Your Vehicles:

Move your vehicles away from your garage and driveway to avoid accidental scratches or damages. This will also create space for the roofers' trucks to unload and load materials.

Remove Wall Decor:

Remove any paintings, pictures, or wall decorations that are susceptible to falling due to the vibrations from the replacement process.

Mow Your Lawn:

Cut your grass short before the replacement begins to make it easier for the roofers to search for any fallen debris.
