Before work starts
Make a plan for the property, not just the roof.
The project affects access, vehicles, deliveries, and household routines. Confirm the details with the contractor before materials arrive.
Confirm the work.
Review the scope, selected materials, start date, and contact person. Ask how you will receive changes to the schedule.
Plan the access.
Agree on parking, material delivery, waste locations, and gates. Explain any access limits before the crew arrives.
Prepare the household.
Discuss pets, outdoor items, and the areas that need special care. Ask which items you need to move.
Agree on the daily details.
Confirm how the crew will protect the property and separate work areas from household access. Keep the agreed contact details available. If a question comes up, use that contact to confirm the next step.
