Our Retex Process: Cleanup

Katelyn Lewis • July 5, 2022

Did you know the average roof replacement can use anywhere between 8,000 to 12,000 nails?!

And, unfortunately, some of those nails will make it into your yard during the installation process. But you have little to worry about with Retex's crew on the job.


You can expect our crew to roll out tarps around your home to assist in our cleanup process and to protect your garden, siding, and air conditioner units.


During and after the installation, they will take time to clean your yard of debris, including old roofing materials, nails, and any plastic or paper waste. They will then run a nail rake 2-3 times throughout your yard to ensure a clean and safe environment, returning to run the rake if you discover an excessive amount post-installation.


And our crew will wrap up the project by hauling away and disposing of the debris.


This means you can take it easy as your kids and pets play in the yard after Retex has replaced your roof.

As the scolding sun and humidity beat down on your roof, it’s crucial to have proper attic ventilation to provide an avenue for that moist heat to leave and fresh, cool air to enter your home.
