A new roof installation is a process made easier with extensive preparation. If you’re expecting contractors in your home, then you’re probably aware that it can take time, create a mess, noise and be a bit of an inconvenience. Unfortunately, these aspects are necessary to achieve a brand-new, functioning roof. With this in mind, we’ve put together this guide on how to prepare to make it that little bit easier.
Preparing Your Home For Roof Installation
Before your contractors arrive, you’ll want to prepare your home. This means moving any valuables out of harm’s way, and ensuring the area in which they’re working is clear of obstacles. This will somewhat depend on access, however, generally speaking, roof installation is carried out on the exterior of your home mostly, so not a lot of preparation will be required internally.
If you have an attic room, then this will likely be the only one affected and should be cleared or set with sheets and protective layers to avoid any damage or dirt.
Setting Up Access
The next stage in preparing for a new roof installation is to ensure there’s adequate access for your contractors. Depending on the size of your home, and the scale of the installation, there will likely be a lot of materials, waste and vehicles to accommodate. We recommend moving all vehicles out of the way and providing as much space as possible for storage.
Who To Speak With
You’ll want to speak to your neighbours and anyone else it may concern prior to your roof installation. All construction work can be noisy, and roofing is no exception to this rule. Power tools, machinery and general noise will be a constant until the work is done. Therefore, it’s helpful to let people know ahead of time so they’re not caught off guard.
Optional Alternatives
There are alternatives if the noise, busyness and general inconvenience of a new roof installation seems a bit much for you to juggle on top of your current lifestyle. For instance, staying with a friend or family member during work may be less intrusive. Additionally, you could also rent accommodation elsewhere to achieve the same results.
