The Unique Challenges of Residential Roofing

Residential roof repair is deeply personal because this major, often disruptive tear-out happens right where you live. For a day or more , your yard becomes a job site: you have to deal with constant noise overhead, along with falling debris and a crew in your personal space.

We get that. At Clark Roofing, we know that when you hire us for residential roofing services, we aren’t just working on one of your biggest assets — we’re working on your home, where you sleep at night and where your possessions are stored. That’s why we manage everything, from the initial tear-off to the final sweep for nails, with absolute site discipline so that your life can carry on with as little interruption as possible.

Protecting your property and landscape

Literally tons of jagged material have to come down when your old roof is removed, and it can be quite destructive if it isn’t controlled.

A single layer of old asphalt shingles weighs anywhere from 5,000 to 10,000 pounds (2.5 to 5 tons) for an average-sized residential house, and if there’s a second layer hidden underneath, you’re looking at closer to 15,000 to 20,000 pounds of debris coming off the roof.

If your residential roofing contractor is careless, that mess lands right in your flowerbeds, on your patio furniture, buried deep in your lawn, or even cracks your concrete driveways.

That is why we are very careful about mapping out the job site and always conduct roof inspections beforehand. This way, nothing catches us off guard. We then tarp you’re landscaping and protect your decks. We also plan out exactly where old materials and heavy trucks will go so that they’re not in the way. Our job isn’t done until the new roof is up and your yard looks exactly the way it did when we arrived.

Managing the war zone and cleanup

We continuously and meticulously clean your yard as we carry our residential roofing services. We never leave a trail of debris behind them and wait until the final hour of the job to clean it up because that’s exactly how nails get buried in the grass and forgotten.

You can count on our Waco roofers to run rolling magnetic sweeps throughout the day. We know that you need to pull your car into the driveway after work and let your kids and pets run around the yard without worrying about a stray nail. As your residential roofing contractor, it’s part of our job to ensure that the site is safe every single evening, long before the final handshake.

Why choose Clark Roofing

We know having a crew on your roof is loud and messy, and that’s why we don’t just focus on the construction — we focus on making sure we aren’t ruining your week. We’ll keep you updated, we’ll respect your yard, and if you call us with a question, a real person will actually answer the phone. When we’re done, you shouldn’t just be happy with the roof. You should be relieved by how smooth the whole thing went!
