There will be disruptions and required accommodations to be made by residents. We appreciate your patience throughout the project and your understanding as we work through repairs.
As with any large construction project, some issues are anticipated. Please report them to us as soon as possible so we can address accordingly.
Vehicles * VERY IMPORTANT *
Have your vehicles off the driveway and moved out and away from your garage and building by 7:00 AM on the day(s) listed above to prevent damage to vehicles.
Suggestions to Ensure a Problem Free Roof
Remove patio furniture, grill and property from decks/patios as well as fragile items from walls, as these may incur damage during work. Contractor is NOT liable for such damages.
Please remove pet waste from your yard before the project starts to avoid messes on the roof and sidewalks, etc. as a result.
While we are working on your home, please close your window coverings during the day. This will help avoid any accidental embarrassments as the workers go up and down ladders to access the roof.
Landscaping
If there are any special or delicate plant or shrubs, please notify us of them before the job starts and we will protect them as best as possible.
Clean Up
One of the most important aspects of a project is keeping the area clean during the job. Here is how we strive to do this every day...
Clean your site during the day and at the end of the day.
Clean your lawn and site with our magnetic “nail-finder” to reduce chance of any nails being left in your lawn.
Keep our tools and materials neatly organized and out of the way.
Conditions beyond our control
Please be aware that despite our best efforts the following may occur during improvement projects, and are not the responsibility of the contractor:
Existing structural problems: Such as loose or cracked plaster and drywall, sagging rafters, nail-pops, bowed walls, previously rotted or damaged materials, etc.
Scheduling difficulties: We do our best to stay on schedule, but mother nature and other emergencies can lead to delays. We will do our best to limit delays.
Satellite Dish notice
Homeowners who have satellite dishes will be without service during the re-roofing of your building. Stronghouse Solutions will reset the dish to the best of their ability,
however if you experience issues please notify your service provider to schedule a
service call for recalibration.
If you DO NOT want your satellite dish re-installed once the roof replacement is completed, please contact JaimeLyn Loewen before the start of your building by emailing
jaimelyn.l@capitalmn.com so it can be properly disposed of.

Please remove all personal items from the decks to prevent any damage to them while the crews are working on your building.
