    Home prepared for a roof replacement installation

    Outside the Property

    • Move vehicles away from the house to protect them from debris
    • Clear patio furniture, grills, and planters from the work area
    • Mark any fragile landscaping you want protected
    • Provide clear access to the driveway for materials and disposal

    Inside the Property

    • Remove or secure items on the top floor and in the attic
    • Take down fragile wall hangings — vibration can loosen them
    • Cover attic items with a drop cloth to catch dust
    • Keep children and pets clear of the work zone

    Neighbors & Logistics

    Let your neighbors know the project dates so they can plan for noise and equipment. Confirm parking and access with the BST team ahead of installation day.

    On Installation Day

    Expect noise and vibration during tear-off and installation. The BST crew handles setup, tear-off, deck inspection, system installation, and a final cleanup — but being prepared keeps your property and family safe throughout.
