Attic Clearances
Rafters flex under foot traffic. Before we carry out a roof replacement in Carrollwood, climb upstairs to pull delicate heirlooms away from the crawlspace ceiling. Fine dust shakes through the tongue-and-groove boards whenever our crew strips old layers above, covering open storage boxes with dark grit. Drop cloths catch falling sawdust over unused holiday decorations. Pack fragile glass items into sealed totes.
Perimeter Protection
Vibrations travel down drywall studs. Walk through bedrooms to unhook hanging mirrors, family portraits, and loose decorative plates from perimeter walls. Outside, we drape heavy synthetic tarps across delicate hibiscus hedges, but patio furniture still needs clearance so crew members can roll magnet sweepers across the grass without snagging stray nails. Park cars well down the driveway. Plywood leans against AC units to shield copper coils from tumbling decking splinters.
