Should I Stay Home During Roof Replacement?

You can stay home during a roof replacement, but many homeowners find it more comfortable to be away while the work is happening. Roof replacement can be loud, dusty, and disruptive from start to finish. Crews will be moving around the property, using tools, and hauling materials, so it is not a quiet day at home. If you work remotely, have small children, or pets that get stressed by noise, it may be easier to make other plans. That said, there is usually no need to leave unless your roofing contractor tells you otherwise. If you do stay, keep windows closed, stay clear of work zones, and follow any safety instructions from the crew.
