Why We Set Up Before the Tear-Off Begins

Most people think roofing work starts on the roof. It doesn't. Before a single shingle comes off, we're already thinking about everything below it - your flower beds, your mulch, your landscaping, your windows. That prep work is what separates a clean job from a messy one.

We use The Catch-All system on our jobs. It's a large containment barrier that mounts along the eave line and catches falling debris as the old roof is torn off. Nails, shingles, granules - all of it gets directed into the catch system instead of landing in your garden or on your driveway. The hose attachment at the base channels debris away cleanly. It's a simple concept, but it makes a huge difference in how the job site looks when we pack up and leave.

A lot of homeowners don't realize how much debris actually falls during a roof tear-off. On a full replacement, it adds up fast. Without a proper catch system, that material ends up scattered across everything - and nails in a flower bed or mulch pile are a serious headache to deal with after the fact. We'd rather handle it right from the start.

This kind of setup takes extra time before the work begins. We do it anyway. Taking care of your home means more than just putting on a quality roof - it means respecting the property we're working on every step of the way. That's just how we operate.

Whether you're dealing with aging shingles, storm damage, or just a roof that's reached the end of its life, we handle the full process - from setup to tear-off to installation to cleanup. If you're thinking about a roof replacement, give All Around Roofing a call at 859-444-5254.
