Inside and Outside - What to Expect from Your Roof Install-
A great deal of debris —namely, your old roof—will literally be thrown down from the top of your house into your ( yard/ trash truck / trash trailer )during this project. To minimize any damage, the yard should be cleared of everything that can be removed—law ornaments, hose, potted plants, etc. Valued landscaping/plant life should be covered with tarp; any in-ground sprinkler system should be visibly marked as well. Discuss this process with your contractor so you can be sure to leave adequate space for the workers to do their job.
One advance precaution that most people forget until it's too late is to warn the neighbors of the impending temporary increase in noise and traffic. You yourself may want to make plans to be out of the house during working hours to avoid the loud sounds.
Many homeowners don't consider that having work done on the roof outside can affect what's going on inside. Persistent hammering and multiple people walking above can cause your home's structure to shake. You may want to perform a more thorough walk-through before any roofing activity commences.
Start by looking up. Anything mounted to the ceiling, whether it's hanging plants or chandeliers, is in danger of breaking and/or causing cracks to form in the surrounding ceiling. Grab a ladder and a screwdriver, and take down whatever you can. In a multi-story home, items hung from your first floor ceilings may or may not need to come down; ask your contractor for specifics.
After the ceilings have been cleared, turn to the walls and take down any photographs, art, or other hanging objects. You will also want to be on the lookout for furniture and decorations vulnerable to heavy tremors, like a glass display case or a vase resting on an unsteady table. You'll want to remove these items to safer locations until your new roof is complete.
