There are aspects of the house that are not meant to last forever and after some wear and tear it will need repair and or replacement. One area of the home that will need to be replaced is the roof. You may start to have problems with missing tiles or leaking during a rain storm. The best option may be to have your roof replaced and a new roof installed.

Alert Neighbors of Roof Replacement

There are several things that you want to make sure you do when you are getting a new roof installed. One of the things that you want to make sure you do is alert the neighbors about the project. The roof work will be noisy and that can be problematic to the neighbors. It can be distracting and can be an annoyance to other homes nearby. If you want to be a good neighbor you should make sure they know when the work will be done and how long the project might be taking.

Secure Your Pets when Replacing Your Roof

You also want to make sure that you are ready with a way to secure your pets during the work. There will be roofers and other construction that is happening and this can be alarming to your pets. The other aspect is that the gates may be opened by the workers and you do not want your pets to get loose. Be sure to have a location to secure your pets during the roof installation.

Clear Space Around House for Roofers

You want to make sure that you have met with a professional about a new roof and set a time and date to start the project. When you know when this will occur you can make sure that your home is prepared and the area surrounding is cleared.

You also want to make sure that you move your vehicles and have a spot to part during this time. This is to clear a path but it is also to protect your belongings as well.
