Recently, my roof was being updated and I had no idea it would frighten so much of my peace, however between the loud banging and the random crew walking through my yard, getting my roof updated was quite the experience, but i knew that there would be some noise because I acquired a letter from my HOA asking residents to remove all pictures from the walls and there was a warning about the noise levels, however, the level of noise that occurred was beyond what I expected, and it would’ve been ok if these were normal circumstances, although I work from home, and it was hard to have day meetings when there were 5 roofing workers typically banging on top of my roof.
On the first afternoon of the roof installation, I profusely apologized to my coworkers and manager, and I decided to excuse myself from the meeting due to the noise, then so, the lesson here is, if you’re a work from house professional and you’re having roof installation done on your home, be prepared for the noise levels to be louder than what you would expect.
Also, do not schedule any meetings for 2 to 3 afternoons while the roof installation is being completed! Finally, roofing installation begins early in the day and there is an hour break during the workday, so be prepared to listen to the banging while you enjoy your day tea or during your day routine. In addition, take fortune of the 1-hour break during the afternoon to do something that will calm your nerves! The fantastic news is, roof installation is a quick and easy 2 to 3 afternoon process, as long as the weather cooperates.
