Preparing for
a Quality Roofing Job
- Notify your mortgage and
insurance companies the day your
roofing job begins. This will
expedite the inspection and payment
processes.
- Be prepared for
the noise! There will be constant
hammering for one or more days,
depending on the size of your
roof. You may want to plan a
day away from the house while
the job is in progress.
- When
shingles are delivered to your
home, please check the color.
Notify Trident Roofing immediately
if the color is not what you
ordered.
- Remove all loose items
from wall shelves and walls:
pictures, plates, figurines.
Hammering may create vibrations
that shake these items off of
shelves and walls.
- Do not loan
your tools or equipment to the
roofers.
- Remove all items from
around the house where roofing
debris or bundles of shingles
might fall: patio and pool furniture,
potted plants, gardening equipment,
and grills. Leaves or blooms
may be knocked off plants near
your home during the job. We
try to protect the plants but
many times the layout of the
landscape prevents us from doing
so.
- Precautions are taken to
prevent gutter damage. However,
there are instances when damage
to gutters is unavoidable, especially
on very steep roofs or ones that
are completely surrounded
by gutters or homes with rusted
gutters. Your homeowners insurance
should cover any damage.
- Check
heater vents upon completion
of your roof to make sure that
they haven’t become loose
in the attic. Also check hot
water heater and stove vents.
The roofer will do this for you
if allowed access to your attic.
- Occasionally,
we will use power tools to cut
decking or shingles. When we
do so, please check your power
breakers and outside electrical
outlets to make sure they are
operating correctly.
- For each
day it rains, work on your roof
will be delayed. Trident Roofing
roofers are instructed not to
tear off more shingles than they
can replace in one day so that
your roof is not exposed to inclement
weather.
- We will need access
to your driveway to load shingles
and clean up. Please park your
cars, motorcycles, bicycles,
boats, etc, out of the driveway/garage.
- Keep
small children and pets away
from the work area.
- Nails
that fall from the roof during
the job will be picked up with
a magnetic nail roller. We will
make every effort to pick up
all nails. Please be advised;
however, that a few nails, hidden
in the grass or shrubbery, may
remain.
- Make
all payments to Trident Roofing. Please do not pay in
cash and do not make checks payable
to salesmen.
