Preparing to Roof

Taking the necessary precautions in preparation for roofing can be a vital step in the smoothness of the roofing job.  Here are some steps to consider:

• Make sure all children are kept inside during the installation process

• Make sure to always wear shoes since nails will eventually end up in the yard

• Clear driveway of cars on expected day of material delivery

• Cover all shrubbery and plants that can be damaged during installation

• Remove valuable pictures or ornaments from wall that may be shaken off during installation

• Have a professional tree remover trim back all overgrown limbs that might effect the roofers effectively doing the job.

• Make sure to point out any potential problems to the roofing specialist that he may not be aware of

• Always check to make sure your material count is correct and the color of the shingles is correct before the job begins

If you apply these steps prior to installation it should help assure that your roofing process will go without incident.
