If you have finally come to a place that you need a new roof, we are sure it has been a rough road. There are many areas of a roof and many instances that a roof can be repaired. A minor leak or a missing tile or shingle can be a minor repair that can be taken care of by a professional roofing repair contractor. When you are past the point of no return however, and a new roof is what you have to invest in to stop the roofing troubles, then you will want to know what to expect and what you can do to prepare for this major overhaul. United Home Painting & Roofing lists ways you can be prepared to ensure a good experience. These tips are only for after you have hired a professional and have taken time to pick up the style roof you want and the color that will work best for your home and property.
Roofers Will Need Clear Access to Outside of Home
The equipment that is used to install a roof is usually large and needs to be kept as close to the house as possible. This means that the roofers will need access to the driveway and yard around the home. The best thing that you can do is to confirm the installation date and beforehand take time to move any large or small objects from around the house. This includes cars, trucks, planters and even play houses and swing sets. These items should be relocated for the duration of the installation to make the area secure and ensure that the job is not hindered by interference.
Can You Replace a Roof While Living in the Home?
The area around the home especially during the removal of the old roof can be dangerous to small children and pets. The material that is being removed is usually dropped into a standing garbage bin but it can fall down from the roof onto the property surrounding. The best way to keep kids and pets out of danger is to be sure that they stay indoors or you have a place for them to be during the process of the roof installation.
How Loud is Replacing a Roof?
The last area of concern is the noise that comes when a roof is installed. The roofers will use power tools and will be tossing debris off the roof and into a garbage area. This can be a nuisance not only for you but for your neighbors that are close. It is always courteous that you talk to each neighbor and make them aware that the noise may be heightened during this time.
