With the holiday season approaching, many will begin decorating their home and businesses with lights, inflatables, and decor! While these decorations provide spirit, joy, and laughter, the last thing you will ever want is for your decorations to damage your property. This is why it is essential to properly, safely, and securely hang all holiday decorations in your home or business. In order to have the best decorations in the neighborhood and to do so with an undamaged roof, the industry experts at REI Roofing are here to provide you with top tips to protect your home and get into the spirit.
Tips To Safely Put Up Holiday Decorations This Winter
Remember Safety First
The first and most important component of safely hanging and installing decorations is remembering that your safety comes first. When going up on your roof, make sure it is not icy, wet, or slippery. Going up in poor conditions can put you in danger. If your roof is safe, dry, and stable, ensure you are using a ladder that is secure and monitored by someone on the ground. Doing so can make sure you are staying safe and have all resources available.
Avoid Walking On Your Roof To Install Decorations
Walking on a roof can lead to a fall or severe injury and can also cause unnecessary damage or wear and tear to the roof surface. Install your decorations working from a properly footed and secure ladder.Â
Securing String Lights:
Do not secure any string lights or decorations on the roof surface. Do not nail or screw anything into the roof surface. You can purchase holiday lighting clips from your local hardware store or home center. Install string lights onto your gutters. Clean your gutters before decorating to help prevent and avoid a fire hazard.Â
