Roofing Checklist: Before, During and After
(Getting Ready For Your Roof Job)

BEFORE

  • Keep your driveway clear for materials delivery and a debris container.
  • Upon delivery, check shingles for color accuracy and damage.
  • Make sure shingles are kept dry and protected from rain.
  • Park cars away from the house.
  • Turn off automatic sprinklers at least one day prior to repair or installation, and keep turned off for the duration of the project.
  • Move all outdoor furniture from decks, etc. to the middle or rear of yard.
  • Disable your alarm systems because hammering and vibration may trigger alarms.
  • Move outdoor potted plants away from the house or into the garage.
  • Cover swimming pools and hot tubs.
  • Make arrangements for pets to stay out of the way.
  • Remove all pictures and wall hangings, and remove breakable items from all shelves. Hammering and vibration can cause items to fall.
  • Cover items in attic with tarp or plastic.


DURING

  • If you will not be home during the job, make sure the crew has a contact number (work phone, cell phone, etc.).
  • Make sure crew has access to outside water and electricity.
  • Nails and/or debris may be present around the perimiter of the house during work -- please be careful until cleanup is completed.
  • Keep children and pets away from the work area. Use caution when when leaving the house to avoid falling debris.
  • On a tear-off you can expect some dirt and dust to fall into your attic. Please cover boxes and valuables with plastic or dropcloths.
  • Bad weather is always a factor in roofing jobs. On any given day, crews will not remove more shingles than they can replace or protect with felt.

AFTER

  • Although we perform a thorough cleanup when the job is finished, there is always the possibility of missed nails that have settled down into the grass or fallen into bushes.
  • If you have not already received them, please contact us to obtain copies of your Workmanship Warranty and Manufacturer's Warranty.
  • Check gates/fences before letting pets back outside.
