FAQs
What is a magnetic nail sweep and why is it important after a roofing or gutter replacement?
A magnetic nail sweep is the process of rolling a heavy-duty magnet across your yard, driveway, flowerbeds, and walkways to pick up errant nails, screws, and metal debris that fall during roof or gutter removal. It protects car tires, pets, children, lawn equipment, and bare feet from injury or damage, and it keeps your property looking neat once the construction is finished.
At what point in the project do you perform the magnetic nail sweep?
We perform an initial sweep at the end of every workday and a final, meticulous sweep once the roof or gutter replacement in Kodak is 100 % complete. The crew then performs a walk-through with you to confirm the area is clean before we pack up.
Is there an extra charge for the magnetic nail sweep service in Kodak?
No. Magnetic sweeping is included in every roofing or gutter replacement we perform in Kodak and the surrounding Sevier County communities. It is part of our standard cleanup protocol, so you will not see a separate line item or fee for this service on your estimate or invoice.
How effective is the magnetic sweep at finding nails hidden in grass or landscaping?
Our industrial-grade magnets can lift up to 30 lbs of ferrous metal and are designed to reach several inches below thick turf or mulch. While no method can guarantee 100 % retrieval, our multi-pass technique typically removes more than 98 % of stray fasteners. We also visually inspect shrub beds and use hand-held magnets in tight spaces to ensure thorough cleanup.
What safety benefits does magnetic nail sweeping provide for my family and pets?
Stray roofing nails can puncture tires, injure paws, cause tetanus-risk cuts, and damage lawnmower blades. By removing loose metal, magnetic sweeping greatly reduces these hazards, allowing kids to play barefoot, pets to roam safely, and vehicles to pull in and out without worry.
Do you guarantee the cleanliness of my property after the roof or gutter replacement?
Yes. We offer a Clean-Site Guarantee: if you find roofing nails or screws within 14 days of project completion, we will return to your Kodak property and re-sweep the area at no charge. Our commitment extends to your full satisfaction with both the installation work and the condition in which we leave your home.
