Follow these Ladder Safety Tips this Spring

Do you have reason to believe you may find yourself on a ladder this spring? Are you concerned about your safety, or of the thinking that nothing bad could ever happen to you?

There are many projects that call for a ladder, from those associated with your roof to painting the exterior of your home to cleaning your gutters.

If you’re going to use a ladder be sure to follow these five tips:

·      Always inspect your ladder before using it, checking for defects and damage

·      Set the ladder on stable and level ground

·      Maintain three points of contact with the ladder at all times

·      Never carry a heavy load when going up or down a ladder

·      Don’t set your ladder near a high traffic area, such as a driveway or door

Following these tips doesn’t guarantee your safety when using a ladder, but they definitely help.

As long as you do these things, you’ll feel more confident in your ability to not only remain safe but to also complete the task at hand in a timely and efficient manner.

"Excellent service. Any question I had was addressed in a friendly yet professional manner. I have used Pond before for replacement windows and siding and most recently for new roofing. I highly recommend them for their responsiveness and the high quality of their work."

- Nancy P.

"Pond Roofing was very responsive and knowledgeable about the condition of our roof. They delivered before the expected date and their work was impeccable. I cannot recommend working with Shanti enough."

- Erin M.

"Easy communication with tons of photos and excellent job! Pond Roofing even came back to replace the color of the shingles to our satisfaction. The property was in McLean and they made me look great since my landlord client was very impressed. The swag cookies to our tenants was an added bonus. :-) Thanks so much!"

Laura M.

"Very fast initial response time and great customer service. Repair work was done (by prearrangement) while we had to be out of town and it looks great now that we are back. We have used Pond before and would call them first if we need roofing work in the future. Thanks!"

Scott C.

"Quality and Integrity. Terrific job on a roof repair. Called for a minor fix which was expertly accomplished. Patrick performed a complete inspection, ensuring no other damage or work needed. Perfect!"

"Great communication, very professional repair crew. We have a new construction house that had some issues with vent seals after 10yrs and Pond fixed 8 different areas in one day--very happy with the work."

- Ryan H.
