How to Prepare for Roof Work By: Frazier Roofs and Gutters

Do not go with the first roofer that gives you a quote. Instead, take your time to make a list of potential roofing companies based on minimum criteria of licensing, insurance, and reputation.

To prepare the exterior of your home, survey the area surrounding your home and remove any items that can be hit by materials or debris. Cut your grass short so that any nails lost during the job can easily be found when clean up time comes. Park your car down the road or ask to park in the neighbor's driveway, and keep traffic in and out of the house to a minimum. This is also a good time to notify your neighbors.

Now your home is an official construction site, so you'll want to keep pets and children indoors as much as possible to keep them safe. You may even relocate them to a family member or friend's home, but that depends on your comfort level.

Most reputable roofing companies will do all they can to accurately estimate the cost of repairing or replacing your roof. You'll still need to be prepared for the unanticipated complication that drives the total price of repair or replacement up. The more you educate yourself, the better.

When preparing the interior of your home, if you have attic access, you'll need to make sure all of its contents are protected. Roofing projects are extremely messy, dusty processes.

For roof repair projects, protect all items and family members that are within the vicinity of the repair, whether it be items in the attic or fragile wall hangings such as mirrors or frames.
