Preparing for Installation of a Shingle Roof

When the day comes for the installation of a new shingle roof on a home the typical homeowner is usually somewhat eager or somewhat concerned about the installation process.  Homeowners that had been planning for a new roof to replace their obsolete one are usually the more excited ones; those that unexpectedly need to replace their roof due to a windstorm or hailstorm event are usually a little more anxious.  Either way, both homeowners will be more at ease from an understanding of how to best prepare for the installation.

The most important thing to remember is that the installation will create a construction area at your home.  In order to create an effective construction zone all of the materials that will be used on the job need to be located as close to the home as possible.  This will require access to the yard and driveway which means that all vehicles will need to be removed from the driveway and anything located close to the perimeter of the property will need to be relocated elsewhere for the duration of the installation.

During working hours all children and pets that are at home need to remain in the home in a safe location.  Of course when there is a need during work hours for coming and going to the home, or pets that need walks, etc., your Feazel job foreman will arrange with you for those activities to take place safely.  Unfortunately, the replacement of a roof is a noisy endeavor with nail guns, hammers, etc., so occupants in the home should be aware of that.

One of the most common concerns we hear about is the debris from the roof removal and installation process and how will that be handled.  Your Feazel professionals will insure the removal of all debris both on an ongoing basis and at the completion of the job.  Please understand that some debris will remain in the yard until the Feazel superintendent does a thorough inspection at the completion of work both for debris and the completion of the job.
