How Long Do Roofing Repairs Take?
As a property owner, sooner or later, you’re going to have to deal with roofing repairs. No roof lasts forever, and good maintenance is, in the long run, far more affordable than a full roof replacement.
All the same, the situation does present a dilemma. After all, it’s difficult to live in a house without a roof.
So today we’ll be discussing everything you’ll need to know before getting your roof repaired. We’ll be talking about when to arrange for, whether or not you need to move out, and that all-important question, how long will it take?
How Long Does Roof Repair Take?
The answer to this question, perhaps unsurprisingly, depends a lot on the specifications of the roof. Is it a sloped roof or a flat one? What type of tiles were used? How bad is the damage?
For basic repairs such as replacing a few tiles, you can expect it to take a matter of hours. For heavier repairs, it’s better to think in terms of days, weeks, and even, in extreme cases, months.
Should You Move Out?
Again, this depends a lot on your situation, but as a rule, you probably won’t need to move out while having your roof repaired, not unless it’s a full replacement.
That said, if the job is large enough to last more than a day or two, it may be worth staying with friends or family just to save yourself some hassle. Roofing repairs can be loud and disruptive, not to mention that they can take longer when builders are required to work around your schedule.
Of course, this is all up to you and will also vary a great deal depending on your exact circumstances.
