At USA ReBuilders, we are committed to you and your family’s safety. Whether you
choose us or not, we offer these important safety and preparation tips.
-
The
materials should be delivered one day prior to scheduled project. All
materials should be covered with plastic or at the very least; felt
paper, caulk, nails, etc. Some materials could be damaged if rained on
for long periods of time.
-
For
everyone’s protection, Try Not To Handle These Materials. Shingles are
very heavy and metal drip-edge and flashing have sharp edges. If you
feel the need to inspect the materials to insure the proper color was
ordered, pull out one or two full shingles as a sample. Occasionally,
the Material Coordinator makes a mistake when ordering the materials.
-
During the scheduled project,
keep yourself, children and pets away from the perimeter of your home
until all work is completed. Most accidents occur when one person does
not see the other.
-
Move all vehicles away from
the work area for their protection and to allow the refuse trailer to
back up near the roof for easier loading and less debris accumulation on
the ground. Plywood should be put over bay windows and tarps should be
laid out where the tear off is being performed so the clean-up will be
more easy.
-
Move out of harms way all
potted plants, lawn furniture, etc. Items which can be broken but are
permanent fixtures (landscape lights, etc.) should be covered before
work begins.
-
Due to hammering movement on
your roof, you should remove any articles from your inner walls that may
fall resulting in damage such as mirrors, pictures etc.
-
You’re a/c line should be at
least 6" away from the roof surface inside the attic. It could be
punctured by a nail which is securing the shingle and the Freon will
then leak out resulting in an inoperable air conditioner. Roof
installers are not able to detect this line under the roof surface but
most contractors will assist in removing and replacing the shingles and
decking to repair if needed.
After all
work has been completed, an inspection should be performed to insure
proper workmanship.
-
An inspection from the roof
top should result in no broken shingles or exposed nails. If inspection
results are negative, Do Not Caulk. Replace entire shingle by the
manufacturer’s suggestions.
-
If ridge
vents were installed, inspect from the attic at the peak of the house.
There should be a 1" to 2" gap on “Both Sides” of the top rafter
to insure proper ventilation. Please Remember: People overhead cannot
always see activity on the ground. By being prepared, staying alert and
using common sense, your roof can be completed in a safe and timely
manner. If you have any further questions you may call us Toll Free at:
1 (281) 901-8462.
