We expected this process to be messy since there was no sheathing underlayment, just cedar shingles nailed right onto the slats. In preparation for the amount of debris that would be falling in, we pulled everything out that was on the floor and then tarped down the walls to create "slides" for debris to end up (mostly) in the center of the floor.

This system worked fairly well and got easily 9/10's of the debris. We still had to clean off the beams and some of the edges of the walls, but most of the gunk landed right where we wanted it and easy to sweep up.
The re-roof took approx 1.5 days. The first day was tear-off of the old roofing, cleaning and repair of some damaged spots by termites and rot, followed by new sheathing. The second day, they put down the tar paper and shingles.

I commend Long Beach Roofing for a job well done! If you’re in a roofing business, you have to do your work quickly and accurately. Roofing projects can cause tension because there are different things that come into play. Anyway, I love that they did more than finish the work quickly, but they also cleaned up each day and got along with you.

Wow! So you're saying that this is the first time you're going to replace the roof after 70 years? That's some sturdy roof, all right. Anyway, I am pleased to know that the whole process was smooth for you and that the job was done quicker than you expected. Nice choice of color, by the way.
