How to Prepare Your Property for a Roof Replacement
A Little Preparation Goes a Long Way Toward a Smooth Roofing Experience
Getting a new roof is exciting — but it’s also a major construction project. At Roofing Exterior Innovations, we do everything we can to make the process smooth and stress-free.
Here’s how you can prepare your home and property before we arrive to keep your family, belongings, and landscaping protected.
🪑 1. Move Vehicles and Outdoor Furniture
Roofing debris can fall unexpectedly. We recommend:
Moving cars out of the driveway and garage
Relocating patio furniture, grills, and potted plants
Covering or storing anything fragile near the home
This gives our crew safe access and protects your belongings from dust or falling debris.
🪟 2. Protect Interior Items From Vibrations
During tear-off and installation, vibrations may travel through the structure. We suggest:
Removing wall decor, art, and ceiling-mounted items
Securing valuables on high shelves or mantles
Letting upstairs residents know to expect some noise and movement
It’s all temporary — but worth preparing for.
🌳 3. Prep Landscaping and Yard Areas
We do our part by tarping bushes and using magnetic nail sweepers, but you can help by:
Cutting grass short before the start date
Marking sprinklers or delicate garden features
Clearing pet waste from around the home
Our team takes pride in keeping your property clean and protected throughout the job.
🧒 4. Plan for Pets, Kids, and Daily Routines
Roofing is loud, and safety comes first.
Keep children and pets indoors or away from the yard while crews are working
Expect early start times (around 7:00 AM) and daytime construction noise
Plan access if you need to leave the home during the project
We’ll always communicate clearly — but having a game plan helps minimize disruption.
📝 5. Know What to Expect From Us
We’ll take care of:
Tarping and protecting property
Setting up dump trailers (not dumpsters)
Daily cleanup and magnet sweeps
Inspection scheduling and photo documentation
Walkthroughs before and after the job
You don’t have to micromanage — we’ve got it covered.
