Helpful Hints
It is important to know that when having a new roof installed...
- Try to prepare your home. Remove any lawn furniture or
other obstacles that my get in the way. Take any loose articles or nick
knacks off of shelves, pictures off of walls, cover important things in
the attic with an old sheet. There will be some movement due to foot
traffic, loading and hammering. No one wants anything broken
- It is a good idea to work from the top down. So don't plan
on new landscaping, new gutters, painting or siding until the roof has
been completed
- Don't kid yourself, it is a very messy and dirty job. Your
yard will be a construction site for about two days. It is our policy
to get you back to normal as soon as possible, so 2 days every 30 years
is not a bad trade
