How will you protect my landscaping and driveway during the project?

With the caption saying, "How will you protect my driveway and landscaping?"

A roof tear-off is a big, messy job — so it’s smart to ask how a contractor will protect your property. At Endurance Exteriors, protecting your driveway, landscaping, and home is a top priority, and we’ve built our entire process around it.

Quick answer

  • We use a dump trailer that stays on its wheels — not a dumpster.
  • An Equipter with big, wide tires spreads weight to protect the lawn.
  • We hang wall tarps, lay ground tarps, and use plywood to shield your home.
  • Every job gets a property-protection game plan.

Why we use a dump trailer instead of a dumpster

Instead of ordering a dumpster, we use a dump trailer that stays up on its wheels. We used dumpsters years ago, and they could damage a driveway — especially an older asphalt one — when the heavy metal box slid off the delivery truck. The dumpster company wouldn’t pay for that damage, so we switched to a dump trailer to avoid the risk entirely.

The Equipter and our tarping system

We also use a specialized machine called an Equipter, which we can drive right around most homes. Its big, wide tires spread the weight out to protect your lawn, and we tear the old roof directly off into it. On top of that, we hang wall tarps to protect your siding, lay down ground tarps to protect landscaping, and use sheets of plywood to shield vulnerable areas.

A plan for every home

Between the dump trailer, the Equipter, and our tarping system, we come up with a game plan for every job that prioritizes protecting your driveway, your landscaping, and your home. Serving Waukesha County for over 15 years, Endurance Exteriors treats your property like our own.
