How to Prepare for Re-Roofing
If your roof is past its useful life, it may be time to replace it. You may wonder what you need to do to prepare if you’ve opted to replace your old roof. Who do you call, what materials do you acquire, and how do you get your property ready? All of these are important questions. We’ll go over the residential roofing replacement process and give you some ideas on how to get ready for a new installation.
Talk With A Professional Roofer First
Consult with a professional roofer and assess your current roof before making any decisions. During your evaluation, our roofers will measure your roof and discuss your re-roofing options. We can also discuss your desired style, what you like and dislike about your current roof, and your budget. We can help you choose supplies, walk you through purchasing, and provide competent installation services.
Don’t Forget Your Home
Before the roofers arrive, you should prepare your home. Most importantly, keep the work areas clear so roofers can move freely throughout your home. This includes moving vehicles away from your property and out of the driveway. Additionally, because the roofers will be removing and disposing of your old roof, you should move patio furniture out of the way. This will keep your roofers’ work area clean and also protect your belongings from damage.
Remove Old Roof and Other Installations
Many clients question if they must remove their old roof before we install the new one. No, it does not. You should leave the removal of your old roof to the professionals. Although some homeowners prefer to do it themselves, you risk harming your roof. Furthermore, working on a roof can be dangerous. Therefore, it is always best to leave this to our professional roofing staff. Also, any satellites, antennae, or other roof features may need to be removed. Again, this is not something you must accomplish on your own; schedule a removal from a professional.
