When it's time to replace your roof, you’re trusting a contractor with more than just your shingles — you’re trusting them with your entire property. And that includes your landscaping.

At United Roofing, we take extra steps to ensure your yard, flowers, shrubs, and home exterior are protected throughout the entire project.

Here’s how (and why) landscape protection matters during a roof replacement:

🌿 1. Why Landscape Protection Is So Important

Tearing off an old roof involves:

Thousands of pounds of debris
Falling shingles and nails
Heavy foot traffic and equipment

Without protection, this can damage:

Flower beds
Decorative plants
Lawn furniture
Sidewalks and driveways
Gutters and siding

A professional roofing company should plan for this — not react after the damage is done.

🛡 2. How United Roofing Protects Your Property

When you hire United Roofing, you’ll notice our crews take precautions before the first shingle is even removed:

✅ Tarps and Plywood BarriersWe cover landscaping, patios, and siding to catch falling debris and shield delicate areas.

✅ Magnetic Nail SweepsAfter the job, we run magnets across your yard and driveway to collect stray nails and metal.

✅ Driveway & Equipment ProtectionWe use boards or mats under ladders, dumpsters, and delivery equipment to avoid scrapes or indentations.

✅ Respect for Your SpaceOur team is trained to treat every home like it’s their own — clean, careful, and respectful.

📸 3. Clean-Up is Just as Important as the Install

A quality roof is only part of the job. We believe the experience should be seamless, from start to finish — and that includes leaving your property looking just as good (or better!) than when we arrived.
