A roofing project is essentially a collaboration between you and your roofing contractors, which is why it’d be a good idea to familiarize yourself with roofing project management best practices.
1. Clarify the Project Scope With Your Contractor
Roofing warranty details, safety expectations and the scope of the contractor’s responsibilities are just some of the essential project details you should discuss with your contractor during your first consultation. It’s a given that a roofing project will cause significant disruptions to your day-to-day routines so it’s important that you discuss with your contractor how to minimize the impact of construction work on your daily routine.
2. Discuss the Cleanup of Construction Debris
Normally, contractors would handle cleanup, but it wouldn’t hurt to clarify this would your contractor. Remember: constant communication is crucial to the success of any roofing project.
3. Get to Know the Point Person for Your Roofing Project
It’s standard practice for roof companies to appoint a general contractor who will oversee the progress of your roofing project. Before construction begins, homeowners should get to know the point person for their project, obtain their contact details and schedule weekly meetings with them to address any concerns or discuss modifications to the original scope of your project.
4. Discuss Contingency Plans With Your Contractor
You can never fully rule out the risk of delays or disruptions so you and your contractor need to prepare contingency plans in case the weather doesn’t cooperate.
5. Take Advantage of New Roofing Technology
Leading manufacturers such as GAF are constantly introducing new roofing solutions that make use of the latest roofing technology. These new roofing products can significantly increase the durability and aesthetic appeal of your new roof. To learn more about your roofing options, consult a professional contractor.
