HOMEOWNER TIPS & PREPARATIONS

TIPS FOR A EASY AND SMOOTH INSTALLATION

1. Think about Kids and Pets


Loud noises from the home can heighten anxiety or disrupt sleeping patterns. Although observing from a safe distance might be thrilling, work zones pose significant risks to children and pets. It's important to discuss with your children why certain parts of the home or yard sit relatives or friends during the roof replacement. However, it is possible to remain at home while the roof is being replaced.


2. Cover belongings in the attic


When workers are walking and hammering on the roof, it can cause dust and debris to fall into the attic. It's important to protect your belongings from dust by covering them with old sheets or drop cloths during the installation. Once the work is completed, you may need to vacuum those areas to clean up.


3. Move grills and patio furniture away from the work zone where workers can walk around freely in the area


A shed or garage is the best place to store outside items like grills, patio furniture, lawn ornaments, and potted plants while your new roof is installed. If you don’t have on-site storage, you may want to put these items together in an area of the yard that is a safe distance from the work zone.    


4. Prune trees and cut grass before construction begins


Any tree branches that hang low near your roof will need to be trimmed before your contractor.  PSR will use tarps or drop cloths to protect plants and grass in the immediate roof line area.  Having the grass cut the day before the construction begins really helps. - Short grass will help keep fallen debris/nails from hiding in your lawn, making cleanup faster and more thorough.  


5. Identify several accessible power outlets 


Your contractors will need access to electrical outlets while they are working. Exterior outlets are preferred, but if your home does not have any, a garage outlet is the second-best choice.  If you don’t have an outlet outside or in a garage, keep in mind that extension cords may need to run through a window or door to get power outside. Extension cords can pose a tripping hazard, so choose an outlet in an area that doesn’t get a lot of foot traffic.  


6. Remove antennas or satellite dishes 


If you have any antennas or satellite dishes located on or very near your roof, you’ll want to have them removed. Call your cable or satellite provider to make arrangements before roof work begins.  - If there is an old, non-working unit, we will be happy to remove/dispose for you.  


7. Talk to your neighbors


Let your neighbors know that date of your roofing project.  And make accommodations with them if needed. They will thank you for it! 🔨😁


8. Be aware of your surroundings during the construction


Home construction can lead to unforeseen hazards. Extension cords and other unusual construction equipment can pose significant injury risks. It's crucial to remain vigilant to avoid preventable accidents. Ensure that exits are secured from the inside to prevent anyone from walking under ladders or scaffolding. Additionally, placing a prominent note on the inside of the door can serve as an effective reminder to your family that an exit is currently unsafe. Above all, keep in mind that the construction and its associated disruptions are only temporary. 


BEFORE LONG... 

You'll be enjoying the new roof you've been waiting for! And just maybe, the envy of the neighborhood! 😁⭐🏠
