Your Summer Roofing Appointment Checklist: What to Expect and How to Prepare

June 19, 2025•2 min read

Whether you're replacing your roof or getting repairs done, knowing what to expect can save you stress—and ensure a successful project. Summer is peak season in the Northwest, and while Aspen Peak Roofing handles the hard work, a little preparation on your part goes a long way.

Use this checklist to get your home (and household) ready for your upcoming roofing appointment.

✅ One Week Before Your Appointment

1. Confirm Details with Your Roofing Contractor

Double-check your project scope, material selection, financing, and timeline. You should know:

Estimated start and end dates
Crew arrival time
Material delivery schedule
Payment or financing plan confirmation

Aspen Peak Roofing will send a reminder and answer any last-minute questions.

2. Notify Your Neighbors

Roofing can be noisy. Give your neighbors a heads-up about the project timeline so they can plan accordingly. It’s a courteous and neighborly move.

3. Make Plans for Kids and Pets

The work can be loud and distracting, especially during removal and installation. If possible, arrange alternate accommodations for children and pets during peak work hours.

✅ One Day Before Installation

4. Clear Your Driveway and Access Areas

Remove vehicles, patio furniture, grills, toys, and garden decor near the work zone. Your roofing crew needs clear access for:

Trucks and trailers
Material staging
Ladder setup
Safety walkways

Bonus: Clearing the space prevents accidental damage and speeds up the project.

5. Protect Items in the Attic

Roof work may knock dust or debris loose. Cover belongings or temporarily relocate sensitive items (electronics, artwork, memorabilia).

6. Take Down Wall Decorations

Vibration from hammering or foot traffic may shift wall-mounted items like mirrors or photos. Consider removing them, especially on upper floors.

✅ During Your Roofing Appointment

7. Stay Accessible

Be available by phone or in person for any quick decisions or updates. Our project manager will keep you informed—but fast communication helps us move efficiently.

8. Secure Pets and Keep Children Indoors

For safety, please keep kids and pets away from the work area—especially near ladders, roofing debris, or active equipment.

✅ After Installation is Complete

9. Walk Through the Final Inspection

Our Aspen Peak crew will do a full clean-up, including sweeping for nails with a magnetic roller and removing all debris. We’ll walk the job site with you to review the work and answer questions.
