Getting Your Home Ready For A New Roof

Apart from extending your house, replacing the roof is one of the most significant projects that you may undertake as a homeowner, which may bring with it a lot of stress and trouble. However, if you prepare for the event correctly, you can help to reduce this stress and make sure that the project goes off without a hitch.

Below are some of the things that you will need to do so that you can prepare your home for a new roof.

Choose A Roofing Specialist

The first thing that you will need to do is find a reliable and reputable roofing contractor to carry out the work on your home and replace your roof. You will be able to see all your local contractors using the internet.

Whether you decide to go with a slate roofing specialist in Sydney or one that specialises in metal roofs, make a shortlist. Look at their online reputation, and get each of the ones on the list to give you a quote, and then decide which one you will use to replace your roof.

Children & Pets

Removing and replacing the roof of your home can cause a massive disruption in your lives, and you will need to consider how this is going to affect any children or pets you have. Ideally, you may wish to send them away for a few days until the work has been finished, and you can ask for help from friends or family, and if need be, send your pets to a boarding facility for a couple of days.

Clear The Attic

In many homes, people use the attic for storage, and before you have the roof of your home replaced, you will need to clear this space to give the workers plenty of room. Ideally, you will remove everything from the attic, but if this is not possible, at the very least you should ensure that everything is covered. Place dust sheets over everything in the attic and then wrap in plastic, just in case it rains when the roof is being replaced.

Remove Items Hanging On The Walls

There can be a lot of noise and vibrations in your house when removing and replacing the roof. As such, to prevent anything from falling off the walls, remove everything first and store them in a safe, secure place of your home.

Clear The Garden

You will also need to ensure that the contractors have full access to the outside of your home. Make sure that nothing is obstructing their access. Move any children’s toys or garden furniture to the end of the garden, which will create plenty of space to use their ladders and scaffolding.

Clear The Drive

For the duration of the time it takes to carry out the work on the roof of your home, you may wish to remove vehicles from your drive to allow the contractors easy access to their tools.

Doing little things like these can help your roofing contractors to finish the work sooner, which will ultimately reduce the disruption to your home and help things to get back to normal quicker.
