Homeowners Safety Guide: Keeping Safe During Roof Repair or Replacement

Dear Homeowners,

At Repair First Roofing, we prioritize not only the integrity and quality of your roof but also your safety and the safety of your loved ones. When it comes to roof repairs or replacements, certain precautions are essential to ensure that everyone remains safe throughout the process. Here are some crucial safety tips to keep in mind while our team works on your property:

1. Keep a Safe Distance: Ensure all family members, including pets, maintain a safe distance from the work area. Falling debris and tools can pose a hazard.
2. Avoid the Work Zone: Even if it might be tempting to inspect our progress, please avoid entering the work zone unless escorted by one of our team members.
3. Designate Safe Entry and Exit Points: Talk to our team leader about designating specific entry and exit points. This will ensure that everyone knows where it’s safe to enter or leave the home without walking underneath ongoing roofing work.
4. Clear the Driveway & Surrounding Area: Prior to our team’s arrival, clear the driveway of cars, bikes, toys, and other items. This provides easy access for our vehicles and ensures that nothing gets damaged.
5. Secure Fragile Items Inside: The vibrations from roofing work can sometimes shake your home. It’s a good idea to secure or remove any fragile items from walls or shelves to prevent them from falling.
6. Protect Your Plants and Garden: While we take utmost care, debris might fall into your yard. Consider covering up delicate plants, ornaments, or garden features with tarps or drop cloths.
7. Communicate Special Concerns: If you have specific worries, such as a pet that’s easily frightened by loud noises, or a family member who works nights and sleeps during the day, communicate this with our team. We’ll do our best to accommodate.
8. Stay Aware of Overhead Hazards: Even after our workday ends, be cautious of the area around your home. There might be equipment or materials that pose a hazard. It’s always a good rule of thumb to be watchful when walking around the perimeter of your home during a roofing project.
