Your home is more than just a place to live – it’s an investment that you want to reap dividends. Since roofs are both structurally important and visible from the street, replacing an old or deteriorating one is the perfect update to add value to your property. Below are three reasons to consider contacting a roofing company for a replacement.  

3 Reasons Why Roof Replacement Adds Value to Your Home

1. Curb Appeal 

If your home looks appealing from the street or in online listings, buyers are more likely to visit. Because the roof is one of the first parts of a home potential buyers see, a new roof will make your home much more attractive. A roof in pristine condition also signals to buyers that you’ve cared for your property, making them more likely to believe you’ve responsibly maintained other areas of your home. A new roof is an opportunity to update the aesthetic of your home. Be sure to consider the style of your home, its history, and regional preferences when selecting a roofing material and color to maximize the benefits of this upgrade. Your local roofing company will offer guidance if you’re unsure what’s best. 

2. Limiting Maintenance Costs

If you’re a homeowner, you know what a serious investment a home is. Most buyers don’t want to commit to a house they believe will cost them high maintenance and repair fees soon after they close. They look instead for properties featuring recent updates, preferring new and improved materials to outdated ones. Roofing companies offer modern waterproofing and weather protection and can guide you toward roofing materials that offer lower maintenance, quality and longevity such as GAF Timberline HD shingles.

3. Ensure a Smooth Sale Process

The longer your house sits on the market, the more it loses value, and the more money you’ll have to spend on upgrades. If your home is in its best possible state, it’s less likely to linger on the market. Moreover, if the roof is in poor condition, it may not pass the buyer’s home inspection, which could delay the deal or may cost you the sale. New homeowners don’t want to deal with a roof replacement after they buy a home so taking care of the roof before you put your home on the market can help to usher a faster, smoother sale.
