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.
