Making sure your commercial or residential roofing project starts well is largely a matter of preparing yourself and your property in advance. Read on as we discuss some tips that can help you manage a successful roofing project.
Hire the Right Contractor for the Job
Choosing the best roofing contractor for your project takes time and effort. Before you decide on who to work with, see to it that the companies have the necessary permits and licenses. They should also have adequate insurance to protect you from liability in the event of an accidental injury or property damage. To get the best roofing products and top-notch craftsmanship, you need to hire a contractor with manufacturer certifications.
Take Note of the Weather
The local climate is one critical factor you shouldn’t ignore when installing your roofing system and gutters. Otherwise, expect to encounter project delays, unsafe work conditions or even water damage inside your property. A bit of planning with your chosen contractor and some flexibility when it comes to various aspects of the project allow you to manage everything despite Mother Nature’s wrath.
Prepare Your Property
Upon signing the contract indicating the project’s details, it’s time to prepare your property days or weeks before the start date. If you are replacing your home’s roof, for instance, make sure to provide as much available space outside your property as possible. The roofing team will want to have a staging area where they can place their tools, equipment, roofing materials and a dumpster in which to dispose of debris. If you are a facility manager or commercial property owner, take the time to inform the occupants and tenants of the roofers’ proposed job schedules and daily work hours.
