The loud booming music was not enjoyable! Hopefully the company has good insurance if someone would have gotten hurt. Yes better laughter then sitting on other people's lawns ( had that happen from a uncaring neighbors landscapers).It's all good, except when someone in another house is ill and subjected to the game.Still better then some of the other activities noted on roof tops. Grateful it is the last house on the block that needed a new roof.

When I looked out it was the CREW from the house being roofed, they were playing soccer, yes, playing soccer in the street from the house they were working on (?) to the middle of the block. I could not believe my own eyes. Definitely DO NOT deny these VERY hard working people deserve breaks and some stress release time. We recently had our roof replaced and both days I gave the crew hot coffee and donuts, and also small gift cards for each to buy a lunch, but this soccer match. with the ball going hither and yon, was pretty bizarre sight. Had quite a few roofing companies working in our villages, never saw anything like this ! Have seen some getting a short nap under a big oak, sharing food, checking cell phones, etc. but this is a first !

BB has contract roofing team like most. BB contractor roofers done excellent job out our roof. I watch them and when they was done could not find 1 nail or piece tar paper or piece of shingle. For them I would imagine let us when was young throwing football on break.

I was really ambivalent about this, definitely feel the people who do this hard work deserve some recreation moments, then when I watch for awhile I really wondered if the company owner approved since some neighbors may be fussier than we are about their lawns, flower beds, etc. I ended up posting this as I was genuinely interested if others would have experienced the same ambivalent feelings I experienced as I watch this.

I'd be pretty upset if they were kicking a soccer ball against my house. Even if it was unintentional, it was still careless and I'd be upset. Was your siding dented? How many cars parked outside did they dent? And then you say they were laughing? Should have called their company and raised hell.
