Roofing safety is essential during the holidays
as well, especially as the winter holidays are the time when all the homes are
embellished on the outside as well, with many of the decorations installed on
the roof. Here is how to have spectacular decorations on your roof without
harming your tiles or shingles:
-
Use suitable fasteners –
nails, needles and stitches destroy roofing covers, puncturing and tearing
shingles or cracking clay tiles. Make sure that your decorations are fastened
with tape or with special fasteners, such as roof clips, that fix decorations
without damaging your roof;
-
Use outdoor decorations – many
homeowners make the mistake of using light strings intended for indoor use on
their roof. Indoor lights cannot resist the weather, what’s more, they are
dangerous to use outdoors because they can get short-circuited and cause fires;
-
Install your decorations when
the light conditions are suitable – it is safer to work on the roof in the
morning, when you can see exactly what you are doing and you can watch your
step more carefully;
-
Avoid stepping on the roof –
no matter how sturdy your roof is, avoid stepping on it as much as possible –
walking on the roof is harmful for the roof and dangerous for you, It's best to have one of the professional roofing companies Omaha NE is home to, do the work as they know all about the weak parts of a roof.
