What You Need to Know Before Starting a Roofing Project

Getting a roof replacement for your home takes time and planning. You have to consider many things about your roof and how you want to change it. Aside from the materials and the design, you may want to update or even remove several elements.

At Kidd-Luukko Corporation, we advise our customers of the following:

Material Quality and Prices

A new roof means a fresh start. You can choose between changing the color of the shingles or changing the type of shingle used. Look around for different material options to see which ones you can afford without sacrificing quality. Good shingles will be a great long-term investment; for example, our roofers provide residential and commercial areas with bitumen, wood shakes and metal roofing options.

The Project Will Be Loud

You are considering a roofing project and are ready to set it up. Before you go and call the company, ask yourself this: do you have temporary accommodations? This will be the place you and your family will have to live in for the meantime. Hammers, nails and movement overhead will cause plenty of noise that will be uncomfortable for you and your family. Having a temporary place of residence, and securing all the fragile items and other valuables in your home, is just forward thinking.

Remember the Paperwork

As you go through the roof repair or installation, keep in mind that you’ll need to remember all the details for later. From the expenses to the different steps of each phase, it’s important to have an outline of the entire project. This way, you and the contractor will both be working from the same roadmap. The paperwork also helps make the project official and legal, since it will include the insurance and the permits.
