Can you stay in your house while the roof is being replaced?

Yes, you can stay in the house during a roof replacement, and most homeowners do. A standard shingle, tile, or standing seam metal tear-off runs 2 to 3 days on a typical 2,000 sqft Treasure Coast home. Expect heavy hammering and walking overhead from roughly 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., plus a dumpster and crew trucks in the driveway. Move cars out the night before, take wall art off shared walls, and keep pets in a back room or off-site. Attic items should be covered with sheets because vibration shakes dust loose. Residents with infants, night-shift workers, or noise-sensitive pets often book a hotel for the loudest day.
