Given how significant a roof replacement project is, proper preparation is key to ensuring its success. One of the most important decisions one has to make involves whether it’s best to stay in the house or temporarily move out. Both options have their pros and cons, and your choice will largely depend on several factors, including individual circumstances, personal preferences and the complexity of the project. Superior Roofing, a leading local roofing company, explains both sides of the argument.
Choosing to stay put while the installation team is doing their work has its advantages, including the following:
If you intend to remain at home with your family during roof replacement, make sure you do the necessary preparations. Discuss with your roofing contractor the project timeline, the potential disruptions and other necessary precautions needed to be observed during the project. Also, prepare both the inside and outside of your home. Clear anything in your yard that may obstruct the flow of the installers’ work. Cover valuables and relocate fragile items, including items hanging on the walls. Got kids and/or pets? Make sure they’re secured in an area closed off from the work zone.
On the other side of the argument, moving out prior to roof replacement also makes sense as well, especially with these in mind:
Part of preparing for your roof replacement project is taking the time to research and secure suitable temporary living arrangements. You can book a hotel room, rent a furnished apartment or stay with a relative or friend. As for the belongings, make sure they’re safely stored or moved to minimize damage.
