Clearing the Driveway
Pipes, heavy coils, and roll formers need open space right next to the exterior walls. Clear the path. If vehicles, children's toys, or planters block the garage door, crew trucks cannot park close enough to hoist structural parts directly onto the roof deck. That extra distance forces workers to carry long panels through narrow garden gates, which risks bending the edges against fence posts. Keep shrubs trimmed low around the perimeter so our crew can safely move tall extension ladders without snapping wet branches or scratching paint.
Vibrations Inside the Attic
Sheet metal work rattles rafters. Fasteners driven directly into deck boards send sudden shocks down through your drywall, so hanging framed mirrors or delicate porcelain plates on upstairs interior partitions can easily slip loose. Take them down early. We tell homeowners to cover open luggage or stored seasonal boxes in the crawl space with light plastic tarps because fine wood sawdust often drifts between decking gaps during every metal roof installation in West and East Lealman. Our crew sweeps exterior driveways with magnets at each day's conclusion, though checking your attic ceiling light fixtures beforehand prevents cracked glass globes.
