Prepare Your Home for Roof Repairs

After you have sent some time getting your finances in order and hiring a credible home improvement and repair company, you may find yourself at a loss as to how to prepare your home in Nashville for renovations. Even if you are having some roofing work done, just because the contractors will be working on the outside of your home doesn’t mean that you don’t need to make preparations before they arrive. To better prepare you and your home for what’s to come, here are some tips for you to use.

Living Arrangements

Depending on the extent of roof repairs that are needed, you may need to relocate until all repairs are complete. For minor repairs, such as the replacement of a few shingles and patching here and there you may be able to stay inside of your home. However, the noise level may cause you to think twice about it. Also, if you have children, you may want to schedule your roof repair work to be completed while they are out of school on vacation.

Attic Protection

If you have an attic, cover everything in it with plastic or tarp to keep them from getting wet and dirty. If extensive roof repairs are going to be made or a complete roof replacement is in the works, everything in your attic may be exposed to the elements. Plastic helps to minimize this risk by protecting your items.

Fragile Items

Remove any fragile and easily broken items, such as mirrors and paintings off the walls and chandeliers from the ceilings and store them somewhere safely until all roof repair work is done. Roof repairs often create vibrations all throughout the house and can cause fragile items to fall and break.

Safety

Keep track of your children and pets. We’ll make every effort to minimize any inconvenience and disturbances that our work may cause. However, it is your responsibility to ensure the safety of your pets and children.

Driveway Access

You should also keep your driveway clear to allow easy access to our contractors. This will also make cleanup much easier for our contractors to deal with once all repair work is complete.

Storm Damage Got You Down? Bluebird Construction to the Rescue

We get it, your roof has issues. Not the kind that will cause the world to end, but the kind that can destroy your comfort and everything that you value on the inside of your home. To keep storm damage and repair issues in Mt. Juliet, TN from compromising your investment, you should hire a credible roofing expert that you can depend on, such as the professionals at Bluebird Construction.

You can’t simply look at a roof and know how well it is going to hold up in times of adverse weather, especially if you’ve never met the installer or taken the time to have it properly serviced or repaired in the past. Often times, the only indicator you may notice is when your ceiling starts to leak or you have trouble keeping the inside of your home warm. By the time you notice those issues it may already be too late for your home. Instead of letting things progress that far, do yourself a favor and schedule an appointment for a roof inspection. Here are some other common signs that your roof has storm damage.

Missing and torn shingles: High winds can sometimes rip even the most secure of roof shingles away, leaving the structures underneath exposed.

Curled and broken shingles: Damaged shingles can make your home less resistant to rain damage. If you don’t get them repaired soon enough, it may literally start raining inside of your home.

Dents and missing granules: Dents and missing granules can make your home less impervious to sun and rain damage. They may even be found inside of your gutters and along your home’s foundation. Even though these small particles don’t seem to be a big issue, once enough of them are missing, you may find yourself catching dripping rain water in pots.

Walk the perimeter of your home and look for any of the signs of storm damage listed above. Even if you don’t notice anything, you should contact your local roofing contractor to be safe.

Protect your home by fortifying your roof against storm damage. Contact the professionals at Bluebird Construction today by calling (615) 758-9101.
