  1. Cleaning up after roof installation When your roofing contractor arrives on installation day, they will be bringing plenty of materials with them, but they will also be creating a lot of refuse during removal. While tearing off your old roof, the crew will be stripping everything from the deck. Things like strips of shingles, metal flashing, underlayment, ice-shield, and lots and lots of nails will tumble off your roof and await removal. Who is in charge of this removal? Well, that depends on the contractor. SITE CLEANUP DURING REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION Plenty of contractors include site cleanup with their project estimate, ensuring that they will remove any roofing debris from your property before completion. Most professional roofers use two methods to keep your property clean: tarps, magnetic rollers, and dumpsters. Tarps In the last post, we covered how you should look for a contractor that uses tarps to protect your property during removal. These tarps also help keep the falling materials mostly contained to limited areas. Meaning that it is easier to locate any refuse and move it to the dumpster.

  2. Magnetic Rollers Even with the tarps up during removal, there is still a chance that smaller debris, like nails, will end up hidden in your grass or landscaping. A contractor that is truly dedicated to keeping your property free of potentially harmful materials will use a magnetic roller. Magnetic rollers are exactly what they sound like, a big magnetic drum that is attached to handles allowing workers to go around your property picking up any and all nails. Dumpsters When all the excess and removed materials are being cleaned up the crew will need someplace to put it all. Generally, you will have a dumpster on site that is big enough to contain all of the materials. You should look for a contractor that handles the rental and removal of this dumpster, saving you money and a headache down the line. WHAT ARE YOUR PLANS FOR CLEANUP? This is an important question to ask any contractor you interview for ​your roofing project​. There are plenty of hidden fees that can pop up after the contract is signed if you do not have the specifics of cleanup and removal outlined in the estimate.
