Tips on Preparing Your Home for a Roof Replacement

Roof replacement is a big undertaking that can provide many benefits to your property, from improved energy efficiency to a more beautiful exterior. However, you need to plan carefully to ensure best results. In today’s post, the metal roofing experts at Earl W. Johnston Roofing, LLC share some tips on how to prepare for roof replacement.

Clear Outdoor Furniture

It is important to prepare your yard for the roof replacement project. Clear all outdoor furniture and toys in your yard. Since roofing professionals need to access your roof from different angles, the pathways have to be free of any obstructions. It will also help avoid chances of tripping or falling.

Protect the Plants

Make sure that your delicate plants or foliage are protected from heavy and rough roofing materials. You can place netting or a tarp over flower beds or mark out vulnerable areas with orange tape.

Keep Pets Indoors

Loud hammering noises can cause stress to pets. If it is not possible to send your pets to a friend’s house during the installation, consider isolating them in a secure area of your home where the noise won’t be too loud.

Give Neighbors a Heads Up

When preparing your home for a roof replacement, do not forget about your neighbors. They’ll appreciate having a heads-up about the project so they aren’t caught off guard by the disruption.
