2. Clear the Surrounding Area:

  • Trim any overgrown trees or shrubs that could obstruct access to your roof.
  • Move any outdoor furniture, grills, or other items away from the perimeter of your home.
  • This gives our team space to work safely and efficiently.

3. Protect Your Belongings:

  • Cover any valuable items in your attic or garage with protective sheets or tarps.
  • This will prevent dust and debris from damaging your belongings during the repair process.
  • We will do our best to prevent dust and debris from falling, but this extra step is a good safety measure.

4. Secure Your Pets:

  • During the repair process, keep pets indoors or in a safe, enclosed area.
  • This protects their safety and prevents them from interfering with our work.

5. Communicate Your Concerns:

  • Don’t hesitate to communicate any concerns or questions you may have to our team.
  • We’re here to provide clear and transparent communication throughout the repair process.
  • We want to make sure we address every single one of your concerns, and that you are happy with the work.

6. Understand the Scope of Work:

  • Before the repairs begin, make sure you understand the scope of work and the materials that will be used.
  • Our team will provide a detailed explanation of the repair process and answer any questions you may have.
  • We will provide you with a detailed estimate.

7. Prepare for Noise and Debris:

  • Roof repairs can be noisy and generate debris.
  • Inform your neighbors about the upcoming work and take necessary precautions to protect your property.
  • Our team will do our best to minimize the disruption.

8. Document the Damage:

  • Take photos or videos of the damage before the repairs begin.
  • This documentation can be helpful for insurance claims and provides a before-and-after record.
