How to Survive a Roof Replacement Without Moving Out

A roof replacement is not the most disruptive remodeling project there is, but it is not without hazards and inconveniences. Although the removal of a roof and the installation of new asphalt shingles only takes about a week, dealing with mess and noise for seven days straight can be tough for anyone.

Fortunately, moving out of your house for the meantime is an attractive, albeit expensive, option. But it is not a necessity. There is a way for your family to live through the construction.

If you Google “the best roofer near me,” below are the pieces of advice you will probably get from an experienced contractor to maintain some sense of normalcy at home during roof replacement.

Let the Kids Know What Is Going on

To WaynCo Roofing, it is important not to pretend to children that things are going to stay the same until the new roof is installed. The better approach is to be forthcoming about any changes in your family’s daily routine. Tell your kids about some of the rules they need to follow to stay out of harm’s way.  

Keep Your Pets Away from Stress

Every seasoned roofer will say that remodeling can be just as stressful to animals as it is to humans. Shield your dogs or cats from the rigors of construction by bringing them somewhere quiet until everything goes back to normal.

Inform Your Neighbors About It

Not that other people have the final say over your home improvement when you are not breaking any time-honored neighborhood norms and regulations, but it is imperative that you connect with your neighbors. You may have to ask them a favor regarding temporary parking arrangements and other things, after all, so be thoughtful and respectful.
