How to Prepare Your Home for a Roof Replacement

Replacing your roof is a major home improvement project—but with the right planning, it doesn’t have to be a hassle. Here’s how to get your home and household ready before the roofing crew arrives.

Clear the Driveway and Yard
Make space for dumpsters, materials, and the crew. This ensures easy access and a smoother workflow.

Protect Your Belongings
Remove valuables from your attic and cover items with plastic sheets. Vibrations from roof work can cause dust and debris to fall through.

Secure Fragile Items Inside
Nail guns and hammering can shake walls, so take down anything that might fall or break.

Communicate with Neighbors
Let them know when the work will begin so they can prepare for the noise and extra activity.

Keep Pets and Children Safe
Consider keeping pets inside or away from the property during work hours for their safety.
