House Holiday Decorating in Nashville: Protecting Your Roof






If you plan to decorate the outside of your home for the holidays, there are a few things you should do to protect your roof Nashville.

Wear gym shoes or boots that have a good amount of traction support. The top of your roof may have ice on it and one of the best ways to ensure your safety if you plan to go up to the roof to decorate is to wear the right shoes.

Do not use cheaply made or electrical cords. Using the wrong electrical cords on your roof can actually present a fire hazard and create major problems later on. If you plan to use lights, make sure that you use UL approved cords to keep your roof from becoming a fire hazard.

Do not nail any decorations into the roof. To secure your decorations, you need properly, you need to use decoration hooks that are specifically made to be used on the roof. The use of nails damages the shingles and can create deficiencies in your roof that can affect the safety and comfort of your home during the holiday season.

Consider installing your decorations on a layer of plywood before putting them on the roof to make installation and removal easier.

Plan out your whole roof decorating approach prior to going up on the roof Nashville, that way you can minimize the amount of times you have to go up there. The less times you go up on your roof, the better.
