Roofs are made to last as they are built with resiliency and durability in mind. The average asphalt shingle roof can last up to 20 to 25 years if maintained properly! But as durable as they are, they’ll need to be replaced at some point in time. What are things to remember when you’re getting a roof replacement?
Don’t Stay During the Replacement
During the replacement process itself, it is highly recommended that you find another temporary place to rest and sleep while the contractor works on your home. Family members, other occupants and pets should also come along with you as the whole replacement process is heavily labor-oriented coupled with a lot of issues like noise, dust and constant foot traffic. There’s a long-standing myth that homeowners can tolerate the whole replacement project to save up on costs and time, but if you have infants and health-sensitive family members, that will be almost impossible to tolerate.
Project Duration
How long does a roofing replacement take? It is highly subjective and depends on many factors, such as the skill of your roofing contractor, local climate and weather and the size of your roof. There are a lot more factors involved, but typically, a roof replacement should take about one to three days. Skilled contractors can finish a large roof replacement in just one day if the weather is mild enough and the schedule is well-chosen.
Preparations
Before you even start the replacement project, remember to make preparations in anticipation of the project. Choose dates that are convenient for you (those that will not affect any predetermined event), properly pack up your belongings, and place protective tarps and sheets to shield your rugs, carpets, furniture and other property from dust and debris.
