Getting your roof replaced is a big project—and an exciting one. You’re upgrading your home’s first line of defense and boosting its curb appeal. But as crews prepare to remove old shingles, hammer nails, and install new materials, one question naturally comes to mind: what happens to everything around your house?
At Scherger Roofing, roof replacement isn’t just about the shingles—it’s about protecting your entire property from start to finish. Here’s how they make sure your home, landscaping, and belongings stay safe during the process.
Step One: A Thorough Pre-Project Walkthrough
Before the first shingle is lifted, the team at Scherger Roofing performs a detailed site inspection. This includes:
- Identifying vulnerable areas around your home
- Noting landscaping features, flower beds, trees, and outdoor furniture
- Discussing any special concerns you may have (e.g. pets, garden features, delicate structures)
This step ensures that the crew understands your property layout and can plan protection measures accordingly.
It’s also a chance for homeowners to voice any specific concerns. Whether it’s an heirloom rose bush you’ve nurtured for years or a custom wood deck, Scherger Roofing listens and plans accordingly. Communication at this stage sets the tone for a smooth and respectful project.
Step Two: Strategic Use of Tarps, Plywood, and Barriers
The moment work begins, protecting your property becomes priority one. Scherger Roofing uses a combination of tarps, boards, and protective barriers to shield everything around the home, including:
- Windows and doors
- Siding and gutters
- Driveways, decks, and patios
- Lawns, flower beds, and shrubs
- Outdoor furniture, BBQs, and decorative features
Tarps are placed over bushes and gardens to catch falling debris, while plywood is used to protect high-traffic zones like sidewalks and driveways. Gutter protection systems are carefully installed to prevent dings and bends from ladders or falling shingles. In some cases, temporary fencing may be set up to protect high-traffic or shared areas.
The result? An outdoor workspace that’s safe, organized, and mindful of your property.
Step Three: Material Handling and Waste Control
Removing an old roof creates debris—and a lot of it. That’s why Scherger Roofing uses specific disposal and cleanup strategies:
- Ground-level catch zones: Strategically placed tarps and sheets catch falling debris before it hits the ground.
- On-site dumpsters: Carefully positioned bins ensure waste disposal is centralized and tidy.
- Magnet sweeps: Industrial-strength magnets are used multiple times throughout the project to collect stray nails and metal fragments from driveways, sidewalks, and lawns.
Scherger Roofing even considers where the dumpster is placed so that it won’t block access to your garage or disrupt your daily routine. It’s all part of a well-thought-out strategy to minimize impact on your life.
Step Four: Weather-Proofing During the Project
Edmonton’s weather can be unpredictable. A sunny morning can turn into a stormy afternoon without much notice. Scherger Roofing plans for this by:
- Only removing as much of the roof as can be replaced the same day
- Keeping emergency tarps and waterproof coverings on hand
- Monitoring weather reports and adjusting project timelines as needed
This way, your home is never left vulnerable to the elements, even during the middle of the project. Your safety and protection remain the top priority.
Step Five: Daily Cleanup Routines
Roofing isn’t a quiet or tidy job, but Scherger Roofing believes it shouldn’t feel like a construction zone either. That’s why they perform:
- End-of-day site cleanups
- Material organization and equipment safety checks
- Regular inspections of protected areas
Tools are stored safely. Debris is collected, and your yard is left neat enough that you can still enjoy your outdoor space while the job is underway.
This level of care also keeps children and pets safer. No scattered tools or forgotten nails—just a tidy, secure space at the end of each day.
Step Six: Final Walkthrough and Satisfaction Guarantee
Once your new roof is installed, the job isn’t done until every last nail and scrap has been cleared away. A final walkthrough is conducted to ensure:
- All debris is removed
- Your landscaping is intact
- No damage has occurred to exterior features
- You’re completely satisfied with the work
You’ll be walked through the finished product, and any questions you have will be answered on the spot. If anything needs to be addressed, the team is quick to respond. Scherger Roofing doesn’t consider the job complete until you’re smiling.
Protecting More Than Property: Respecting Your Time and Space
At Scherger Roofing, protecting your property isn’t just about physical damage. It’s about being respectful of your daily life. That means:
- Sticking to agreed-upon work hours
- Minimizing noise during early or late hours
- Keeping walkways and driveways accessible whenever possible
- Communicating openly about timelines, weather delays, or adjustments
It’s the kind of neighborly professionalism that makes the whole process feel easier and more comfortable.
