If the property is vacant during work, the roofer still needs a contact, access plan and someone authorized to approve scope changes.
Share an alternate contact and explain how the crew can reach the property. Decide in advance who can approve changes and how you want the office to send photos and updates while you are away.
If you're comparing replacement options, ask Dekoven Roofing for a written estimate for your property.
When a home is vacant, access and noise matter less.
Choose a point of contact and agree how progress updates will be shared.
Before work, check that gutters, soffits and attic spaces are free of items you would not want disturbed. Tell the roofer about alarm systems, gates or utilities that affect access.
Plan how you will be updated, since you will not be on site to see progress.
How will you receive progress updates? Who has keys?
Not always.
Agree in advance.
It is a courtesy.
