Mess In Attic After New Roof

Found myself in an attic today trying to prepare the customer for the huge mess left after stripping off their roof.

Mess in attic after new roof.

Intake vents located at the lowest part of the roof under the eaves allow cool. After all it keeps water out of the building. Contractors should clean this debris up before leaving the site but as you probably know they oftentimes leave a mess behind for the homeowner to handle. I have been thinking of getting a new roof lately.

And while nobody likes having to pay to replace a roof the critical and aesthetic function it serves should help ease the pain of spending 8 000 to 20 000 on the work. It is normal on a total resheet or when plywood is replaced for debris to drop into the attic. I find that we are quoting more roofs after taking a hiatus for a few years. Yep wayne had a look at my attic yesterday and the new roof and gutter downspout system.

After all there 39 s only so much debris i can throw out in the weekly pickup. Attic ventilation works on the principle that heated air naturally rises primarily utilizing two types of vents. When the roofers tore off our roof the furnace in our attic and the attic did not get covered properly. When the debris was cleaned out by my husband he looked black as night from the asphalt dust when i turned on our ac a.

The roof is arguably the most important component of your house. This is definitely good advice for when i have my roof replaced. Both shingles and sawdust can fuel attic fires turning a small flame into a devastating house fire. I will definitely have to make sure that i am not there when i get a new roof.

Point being there was 100 year old shingles 2 layers of wood shake and 3 layers of asphalt wood dust and who knows what else and what kind of shingles they were. Bottom layer is cedar shakes so you know it s going to be crappy. The one that i have is starting to leak an awful lot. It s common for debris to land in the attic or on the ground around your home.

The reason it will be so noisy is because the roofers will use brooms wheelbarrows shovels and tools to get the substrate clean enough to install a new roof. I advised them to consolidate as much as possible and cover everything well.
