As one of the leading roofing and siding companies in Middletown, NY, we often get asked a lot of questions by homeowners who are having their roofs replaced for the first time. One of the most common questions that they raise is whether it is necessary to temporarily move out of their houses.
While the decision ultimately depends on the extent of the roof replacement, personal preferences and other factors, there are several steps homeowners can take in preparation for the project. This way, inconveniences can be avoided or at least minimized to ensure the project’s success.
Moving out during roof replacement isn’t necessary. After all, the average time it takes to complete the project in a single-family home is within a few days. Barring extreme weather or major complications, you can expect your new roof to be installed within two days at the minimum.
Also, it is worth noting that roof replacement work is usually conducted during weekdays, when everyone’s at school or work. However, if you are working remotely or spending most of your time at home during the week with your family, making living arrangements should be a part of your preparations. Of course, the decision to move out will depend on your tolerance for noise, the presence of children or pets, and the availability of alternative living options.
The following are some of the other steps to take before the scheduled start date of your roof replacement project:
