You may receive quotes and samples for more than
one product. Please verify your product choice and
color with your salesman.
If you’re adding or
changing ventilation, please confirm placement
of new ventilation with your salesman.
If you’re coordinating multiple home improvement
projects, work from the top down so that the
least amount of activity is crossing over the new
work. For example, replacement of your roof should
be scheduled before painting or siding your house,
landscaping your yard, adding a new deck, or repaving
your driveway.
The workmen will need access to outside electricity.
Please tell your salesman the location of your
exterior outlet, and make sure that it’s working
prior to the start of your job. If you do not have
an exterior outlet, please run an extension cord
out a window or door.
The roofing process will create some vibration.
This may dislodge dust/silt in your attic or
precariously placed items in your home and garage.
Make sure that items affixed to walls, ceilings,
or sitting on wall shelves are secure (house
and garage). If in doubt, remove the item(s) in question.
Remove items stored in garage rafters that could
potentially dislodge. Remove any fragile items
(including cars) from the garage.
Cover or remove items stored in unfinished attic
areas. It is likely that an accumulation of
dust and silt will fall from the attic ceiling. In
older homes with 1-2” spacing between roof boards,
it is also likely that gravel or small pieces of
the old roofing material will “fall through
the cracks” in the roofing process. Please
plan accordingly, as interior cleaning is the homeowner’s
responsibility.
The noise created by the roofing process will be
amplified inside the house. While this may or
may not be tolerable to humans, it may confuse or disturb
pets, particularly those who are timid or skittish.
Please take this into consideration.
Items affixed to the roof are typically removed
and reinstalled.
Satellite Dishes – Please note that, while
we will reinstall satellite dishes, due
to dish sensitivity, we cannot insure resumption
of service. Re-setting of satellite dishes, if required,
is the responsibility of the homeowner.
If you have items that you do not want re-installed,
such as a non-functioning TV antenna or old basketball
hoop, please be sure to convey this information
before the start of your job. Also indicate if you
want to keep the item or have it disposed of.
Tear-offs – In most cases, a dumpster will
be ordered for roofing debris. The dumpster
will be delivered either the afternoon before, or
the morning of your job. The dumpster will be placed
on boards on the drive, in a location closest
to the building, unless otherwise specified. Dumpsters
are typically removed the morning following
job completion.
If you have special considerations or particular
instructions related to the placement of the
dumpster, please convey them at least two days in advance.
If you have a one lane drive, please be sure to
move cars whose exit might otherwise be blocked
by dumpster delivery.
Dumpsters are owned and operated by private waste
companies. Roofing debris is recycled. Please
do not use dumpster to dispose of personal/household
property.
You needn’t be present on the day of your
roof installation, but please make sure that we know
how to reach you if unforeseen circumstances, such
as the need for extensive wood replacement, arise.
Though these circumstances are rare, we’d
prefer to notify you of any unanticipated event
at the earliest opportunity. |
