How to Get Ready for Roof Replacement

You need a strong, sturdy roof to protect your family and your home. If your current roof is no longer doing this, the time has come for a roof replacement. Roofs can last for years and, in many cases, decades, so you should take care of your investment and learn as much as you can before making such a big decision. The first step, and arguably the most important step, is to look for a qualified roofing contractor who specializes in roof replacements. You’ll want to get the job underway as soon as possible. Here’s how to get started:

Step #1 Look into materials

Once you’ve chosen a roof replacement company, you can begin looking at different roof types and see which material makes the most sense for your needs. You can have shingles, metal, tiles, and more. They all have their own advantages. You should learn as much as you can about each to ensure that you choose the right one. At Homefix Custom Remodeling, we work with only the very highest quality materials. We do this to ensure the best outcome possible. The result is happier customers, longer lasting products, and better product performance.

Step #2 Learn about the warranty

Installing a roof is no small matter, so you should know what your contractor can offer you before you sign. You want to understand what your warranty covers and for how long so you can keep your roof alive without breaking the bank. Everything we do is covered by our 100% customer satisfaction guarantee. With the highest standards of integrity, we aim to stand by our products and workmanship to the complete satisfaction of each and every homeowner.

Step #3 Prepare yourself and your family

The day has come when your chosen roof replacement company will arrive and get to work. How exciting! It’s important to realize there is going to be a pretty substantial construction project going on at your home. While you certainly can stay in your home while the project is underway, you’ll want to be realistic about it. You’ll want to ensure vehicles are out of the way. Loud noises on the roof may scare small children and pets. Explain to children what is happening. You may want to board your pets or send them to stay with a trusted loved one for a few days. Take down any hanging wall decor, like mirrors and picture frames. The vibrations may cause them to fall and break.  Move anything on the patio and porch, like a grill, away from where the workers will need to drop tools and other debris.
