8. Protect Your Belongings: Cover or move valuable items in your attic or upper floors to protect them from potential debris or dust during the roof replacement.
9. Discuss Cleanup Procedures: Inquire about the cleanup process after the replacement. Understand how the contractor plans to handle debris removal and ensure your property is left in good condition post-installation. For more on what a cleanup looks like, read this.
