For most of our customers, this is the first time they have had a new roof installed on their home. This information is provided to help familiarize you with what to expect and prepare for during the installation process. There is no way a home can be restored without some inconvenience and interruption of your normal routine, but we can make every effort to keep those interruptions to a minimum.

Here's what you can typically expect to happen when your home is in the restoration process:

1. Sign: A sign will be placed on your property at the beginning of installation to your home. We are proud of the work we do and this is one of our most effective means of advertising.

2. Trees & Bushes: If you have low-hanging branches over your roof, some trimming will be necessary. Our men will cut back only the branches that limit their ability to do an efficient and quality job. In some cases where the shape of the tree is particularly important, you may wish to have the tree trimmed before the job begins.

3. Light Fixtures, Wall Fixtures: These could fall if not firmly attached to walls or ceilings. We suggest that you check all light fixtures, pictures and mirrors to make sure they are secure.

If this is not acceptable, please notify us immediately so that an adjustment in your contract price can be made for additional labor costs & a new plan of production can be drawn up.

6. Antennas: We will detach and reset antennas. We will not be responsible for physical damage or poor reception of the replaced unit.

7. Gutters: We will take every precaution to ensure your gutters are not damaged. The roofing process however may result in small scratches or dings in light gauge aluminum gutters. We cannot be responsible for these minor dents and dings.

8. Clean Up: All crews are trained and required to clean up any and all debris, roofing nails, tarps, tape, caulk, shingles, etc... that may fall from the rooftop during the restoration process. We suggest you do a 'walk through' when the job is complete to go over any concerns that may be noticeable.

9. Excess Materials: Our proposals are based on a completed job. Any surplus material remains the property of Lindsey Construction & Design,
