Should You Move Out of Your Home During a Roof Replacement?

Given how a roof replacement is a large and complex investment, you’ll want to take the necessary measures that ensure the process goes on smoothly. This also means considering whether it will be a better idea to just stay somewhere else until your project is completed. Easton Roofing, one of the premier residential and commercial roofing contractors in the area, discusses more of it here.

You Don’t Actually Have to Move

How long the roof replacement will take depends on the size of your home. If you own an average-sized single-family home, the project won’t be more than a few days. In fact, it may only take two or three, barring unforeseen circumstances such as extreme weather or additional repair work. Most roofing companies also conduct business on weekdays, when homeowners are at home or school, so there’s minimal disruption to worry over.

But You Might Want To

These past couple of months did encourage working from home and taking online classes, however, so you might want to consider moving out temporarily. Roof replacement tends to create a considerable mess and noise. A reliable residential and commercial roofing company, like Easton Roofing, will try to keep this to a minimum so you can do your thing. But the fact is that the project will always generate an unavoidable amount of noise. If you feel like you can’t handle this, you should consider leaving the home in the meantime and looking for temporary lodgings.

If moving out isn’t possible then you’ll need to prepare accordingly. Make sure your kids know about the work ahead, and set a few extra rules for this time period. They should understand that under no circumstances are they allowed to play outside while the roof replacement is in progress. Designate a few safe spaces they can use for playing. If you own pets, keep them in a room, like the basement, where the noise and activity won’t stress them out.
