Customer Preparation

Pre-Inspections
Before installation begins, our professional roof consultants will do a complete inspection of your home’s interior, exterior and attic space.

Electrical Lines
Electrical wires strung up and over the rafters are a fire hazard.

Fasteners penetrating the wire insulation can cause a short circuit resulting in a fire. Vaulted ceilings with canned lights and HVAC power lines are the most common problem areas.

Carbon Monoxide
During the installation, the crews will need to flash the gas exhaust vents to the new roof.

Leaks can occur, but your consultant can discuss prevention of carbon monoxide leaks with you.

Children & Pet Safety
Roofing your home creates a temporary construction site that children find absolutely intriguing.

Because most of the material and equipment are extremely dangerous, it is important to remind children of the hazards.

Pool & Spa Protection
Nails can stain the plaster or damage the vacuum equipment.

Our crews will tarp the pool and spa, but we do, however, recommend that pool pumps be turned off during installation and that a pool cleaning be scheduled after your new roof is installed.

Vibration
Breakable items should be removed from walls and shelves to protect them from damage.

It is best not to have anyone who has allergies or asthma present during the installation process.

Noise Pollution
Construction is extremely noisy. Be prepared for the sound of constant hammering, sawing, and foot traffic for two or more days, depending on the size of your roof.

Landscaping
In order to minimize any damage, turn off automatic sprinkler systems a day or two before the installation begins to protect your lawn against foot traffic.

Please mow your lawn the day before installation. This allows for better clean up.

Tree Trimming
Trees can be a major cause of the premature wearing of a roof.

If your trees need to be trimmed in order to keep limbs off the roof, please do so before the project begins.

Restroom Privacy
If your home has bathroom skylights, please remember to schedule bathing times appropriately.

Attic Preparation
Items stored in your attic are subject to dust and debris during the removal of an existing roof.

It is important to remember to be careful when opening the attic hatch.

Electrical Issues
Occasionally, the power tools used to install your new roof may trip circuit breakers.

Please make sure any precautionary actions are taken to prevent any unfortunate situations.

Accidents Do Happen
Having a roof installed is a major construction and some accidents do occur.

However, having a quality conscious contractor who knows how to prevent most of these incidents is good.

Gutter Protection
We use “U” shaped attachments to keep ladders from damaging gutters. These attachments prevent the ladders from coming in contact with the gutters.

Please understand that a small amount of scratches and minor dents are sometime unavoidable.

Access To Your Home
Please keep cars, boats, and trailers away from the area and out of the driveway.

We need access to all areas of your yard for cleanup. Please remove pets from your backyard and have all gates unlocked for this purpose.
