Roof Replacement Cleanup Guide

Roof replacement creates old roofing material, fasteners, packaging, and other debris. Cleanup expectations should be part of the written scope.

Before work begins

  • Discuss dumpster or trailer placement
  • Move vehicles when requested
  • Protect fragile outdoor items
  • Ask how landscaping and exterior equipment will be protected

During the project

Ask how debris will be controlled around entrances, driveways, neighboring property, and landscaping.

Final cleanup

The written scope should describe removal of project debris and the provider's normal final-cleanup process.

Final walkthrough

Walk the property after completion and raise any cleanup or punch-list concerns promptly.
