Clearing The Perimeter Walls
Move your vehicles away. When our crew sets up for shingle roof replacement in Fort Myers, trailers sit right under the eaves where old felt and heavy bundles drop straight down into the beds. Loose deck chairs, ceramic flowerpots, and glass tables near the exterior siding will easily chip or crack if stray pieces slide off the eaves unexpectedly during the strip. Park across the street instead. We place tarps over bushes, but you need to secure fragile outdoor lights yourself before ladders arrive.
Protecting The Interior Spaces
Every hammer blow rattles rafters. Because pneumatic nailers drive thousands of fasteners directly into the wooden roof decking above your head, vibrations travel straight down through internal wall studs into living rooms, kitchens, and hallways. Take mirrors off hallway drywall. You will hear dust drift through the attic crawlspace hatch, so spread an old sheet across stored cardboard boxes below the attic opening to catch fallen grit. Keep indoor pets in a closed back bedroom with closed doors until afternoon.
