Home Preparation
Safeguard Delicate Items Within Your Home
Roof vibrations created by hammering and foot movement will transmit through your wall structures. The prevention of damage requires removing items that can fall from the walls including pictures and wall-mounted decorations and mirrors. The work area needs protection by removing all objects from shelves or applying museum putty for safekeeping in rooms beneath it. The practice of both removing ceiling fans and securing chandeliers remains advisable unless temporary removal is not feasible.
Get Your Yard and Outdoor Areas Ready
Before material deliveries you should clear your driveway along with nearby areas from all obstacles to allow smooth access. Remove patio furniture along with grills and potted plants and children’s toys from home areas to protect them from damaging objects which may drop or to avoid wear from worker movement. Trim the branches of trees to protect roof access routes.
Arrange Care for Pets and Young Children
The commotion and activity of a roof replacement can be stressful for pets and young children. The noisiest phases of exterior work require parents to schedule activities with other children or arrange substitute child care services. Homebound pets should be kept in an enclosed quiet space like interior rooms or basements that are positioned distant from the construction work area. Introduce your pets to the designated “safe room” prior to construction developments.
Safeguard Your Attic Belongings
The construction activities will cause your attic to gather notable amounts of dust combined with substantial debris accumulation. Use plastic sheeting to protect attic items together with moving out any essential or delicate possessions you want to safeguard. Avoid going inside your attic throughout this period to prevent possible accidents.
Notify Your Neighbors
Informing neighbors about renovation work in advance will lower the risk of disagreements. You should let neighbors know about your construction schedule while warning them about short-term noise as well as extra vehicles and a possibility that debris may enter their yards despite thorough cleanup activities.
