How to plan roof work around tenants

Roof repairs affect access, noise and communication even when the work is outside. Discuss building schedules and access with the roofing team before work starts.

Agree on the person who sends updates, where the crew will stage and which building entrances need to stay clear. Give occupants a practical way to report a new leak or access problem during the work.

Contact Dekoven Roofing to discuss a commercial roof assessment. Include the building address and the name of the person who can arrange access.
