Curb appeal refers to how good your home looks from the road. It also refers to the first impression people get when approaching your home. When those people are prospective homebuyers, the better the curb appeal, the more likely you'll sell your home quickly and for a higher asking price.

A roof installation from a professional roofing service is one of the top ways to improve your home's curb appeal. In fact, according to Zillow, getting an asphalt roof replaced can provide an ROI of over 68%. If you're planning on getting a new roof installed by a roofing business, here are some ways to prepare for the installation.

Clear Your Driveway and Garage

The first place roofing contractors will interact with your property is your driveway. They may need to use your driveway for various things like using their vehicles to keep supplies and equipment close or parking a dumpster. Not to mention, debris can fall off the roof as they work, so it's best to keep your vehicle out of harm's way. You may believe your garage is an entirely safe place to relocate your car, but shingle granules, nails, or other debris could fall through the garage roof if the roof isn't insulated.

Clear Your Yard

Just as debris can fall onto anything in the driveway, it can also fall onto items in your yard. Whether you have a garden, outdoor furniture, or other items, you want to protect everything from roof debris. If you can remove the items, put them somewhere safe like your basement or elsewhere inside your home. If you have a garden, you'll need to cover it with a tarp since it can't be moved.

Move or Protect Your Belongings

Your home's exterior isn't the only area to be concerned about. While most of the items inside your house should be safe, there are some items you'll need to move or protect. Move any removable items hanging from the walls, like paintings, photos, removable fixtures, and others. If these items remain on the wall during your roofing installation, the vibrations from the roofing work may cause the items to fall.
