Any roof replacement project comes with its fair share of noise and clutter. Not only is it loud and uncomfortable, but certain parts of your home will be exposed to nature’s elements. Most roofers would recommend homeowners to move out temporarily for the whole span of the project. However, is it really required?
In today’s post, Ken Morton Roofing & Siding enlighten you on this decision.
The Short Answer
The short answer to this question is, no. You can remain in your home during the renovation process, but you’ll have to be well-prepared. Be sure to inform your family members about the plan so that everyone can make the arrangements before the project proper starts.
Prepare Your Family Before the Project Starts
Most families would choose to take a weekend trip or stay over at a relative’s place during the duration of a roofing project. But you can choose to stay at home as long as everyone learns to manage their expectations.
Before the roof repairs or replacement starts, be sure to explain the situation to everyone in your family, especially your children. Thoroughly explain what’s happening and make them stay away from hazardous areas in your home. If possible, you can have the lead contractor explain everything to your family while you are all gathered together as they’re the ones who are well-versed in situations like this.
Prepare Your Home Before the Project Starts
Once your family is physically and mentally prepared, the next step is to make sure your home is ready. Be sure to keep your furniture, appliances, and gadgets away from dangerous spots. This also helps the contractors move through your home easily. Of course, don’t forget your furry friends as well and keep them in a safe place away from danger, preferably with your family. Park your car in an area that debris won’t reach if ever anything falls.
