Steps To Prepare for a Spring Roof Replacement

Your roofing system is vital to your business’s success. This region experiences everything from legendary snowstorms to heavy rains to high winds. A quality roof is essential. Getting a new roof is an investment that will pay off for many years to come. 

At Great Lakes Roofing, we understand that a new roof is a significant expenditure. This is true whether your company is small or large or whether it needs a flat or metal roof installation. But you can take several steps to ensure the process runs smoothly.

Setting a Time Table

As long as you do not require emergency repairs or replacement, you can select the best time for your roof replacement. You may want to arrange this in advance with your roofing contractor. Scheduling a suitable time for the work to be completed has several advantages:

• More time to decide on the exact scope of the work
• Confirmation that the needed materials will be available
• Coordination of other work to be done simultaneously
• Scheduling at a time that is appropriate for your business

If possible, decide on a specific start date and hold your contractor to a reasonable end date. While complications can result in any large project, you should be given a good idea of how long the project will take.

Planning for Financing

Whether you are paying cash or financing the new roof, it helps to crunch the numbers for your budget. Paying cash allows you to avoid finance charges, while financing could free up money needed for other priorities. Your financial situation could also determine the materials you use for your roof replacement.
