Can You Live in Your House During a Roof Replacement?
If you’re a homeowner in Myrtle Beach, Pawleys Island, Georgetown, or Charleston, you may be wondering: “Can I stay in my home while Simply Roofing replaces my roof?”
The short answer is yes—in most cases, you absolutely can. But it’s important to understand what to expect so you and your family stay safe and comfortable during the process.
What to Expect During a Roof Replacement
Roof replacement is a major project. While our team at Simply Roofing is known for strong communication and efficient installation, there are a few things homeowners should know before deciding to stay in the house:
- Noise Levels
– Hammering, removing old shingles, and nailing new ones can be loud. It’s manageable, but working from home or caring for small children may be challenging. - Debris & Dust – Dust and small debris can fall into your attic or vents, so it’s smart to cover belongings inside.
- Limited Access
– Driveways and yards may be partially blocked by roofing materials, dumpsters, or equipment. - Vibrations – You might feel mild vibrations inside the home during certain stages of installation.
Safety Considerations
Safety always comes first. At Simply Roofing, we make sure your family is protected, but here are a few precautions:
- Keep kids and pets indoors and away from work zones.
- Avoid walking around the yard until cleanup is complete.
- Park vehicles away from the house to prevent accidental damage.
When You Might Consider Leaving for the Day
While most homeowners choose to stay put, some situations make it easier to step out for a bit:
- Working from home and needing quiet.
- Small children or pets who may be disturbed by noise.
- Extremely large or complex projects that last multiple days.
Even then, you can often come back in the evenings once the day’s work is wrapped up.
