When your roofing needs replacement, it is common to experience a sense of urgency. To make the process go smoothly, there are things you can do before the work starts. Preparation will help ensure that everything goes according to plan and avoid costly mistakes during the installation process. 

Think about your kids and pets: There are three essential things to consider when preparing your home for a roofing replacement. First, think about the people who live with you and how they will be affected by construction noise or being around heavy machinery or toxic materials.

Choose a safe room: You also want to think about where you will be during construction. If possible, choose a place that is least likely to have debris fall on it. For example, if your attic has limited access, this might not be the best option for someone who wants to stay out of harm’s way. A safer choice will be an interior bathroom or even a basement if they are large enough and free from clutter, so nothing falls through the ceiling.

Clean before work starts: Before installation begins, make sure all areas are thoroughly cleaned. This includes walls, floors, trim fixtures, and countertops in kitchens and bathrooms. Also, take care of any pets that may cause damage once workers set up equipment around them because animals can destroy flooring or damaged wiring.

Relocate your vehicles: When roofing replacement begins, make sure you remove your vehicles from the driveway and garage. Access will be blocked during work hours, so it is best to park elsewhere for this period.

Remove wall decorations: Before a roofing replacement begins, remove everything nailed or glued to the walls. Items such as pictures, tapestries, and even calendars should be taken down because they could fall during installation.

Protect your belongings: With any renovation project, there are always things homeowners need to do ahead of time, so their property doesn’t get damaged. When replacing roof shingles on a home, these precautions may include removing anything from yard areas near construction sites and moving cars into garages during work hours if possible.
