Clearing the Driveway
Heavy trucks require direct access to your driveway to drop heavy dump trailers. When installing a new roof in University, we watch out for low tree branches and parked cars near the perimeter fence. Picture a trailer arriving at dawn; any vehicle left behind blocks delivery. Park along the curb instead. Vibrations will shake interior walls during the tear-off stage, so remove loose paintings from bedroom walls and pack away fragile glass figurines standing on narrow hallway shelves.
Protecting Delicate Attic Spaces
Fine sawdust constantly trickles through wooden plank gaps during deck replacement. Drop cloths help. Before the crew starts ripping off rotten wooden shingles, climb up your drop-down stairs and throw cheap painter plastic over old clothing boxes, family photo albums, and stored suitcases. We see forgotten holiday decorations covered in thick black roof gravel when owners skip this single protective step. Dust travels through every ceiling crack, especially around vintage recessed lighting fixtures.
