How Does a Roof Restoration Add Value to Your Home?

Your home is one of the most important investments you’ll ever make. Your house provides you and your family comfort, shelter, and a place to gather with friends and family. It’s where memories are made.

You don’t want to ignore keeping your home in excellent condition, and that includes the roof. You should know that roof replacement and roof repair, adds value to your home, as well as protecting it and you from the elements.

Whether you’re planning on buying or selling a home, you should consider some form of a roof restoration, either to increase your selling price or to increase the value of your investment. Let’s take a closer look at why.

Financial Gain

Buyers look at it as an expense they will incur at some point. If your roof is older than 15 years, you can expect a buyer to negotiate down based on this fact alone.

House flippers look for a property that they can fix-up. Remodeling the inside is a popular way to build equity, but the roof offers more investment return than a new bathroom or kitchen, and house flippers know this. 

First-time buyers should take this cue from house-flippers and hire a roof repair service. You’ll want the protection a new roof offers, plus the added value to your investment.

Curb Appeal

Hiring a roof restoration service to repair or replace your roof will immediately add significant value to your home, perhaps as much as $20,000 or more. A new roof not only makes the house look better, but it will appraise for more money, and buyers will consider the roof as a plus to buying.

Energy Efficiency

In warm weather, energy-efficient shingles can reflect sunlight rather than absorb it. This reflection process will reduce heat buildup in your attic, which in turn reduces your cost to cool your home. In colder weather, a new roof will help keep the heat from escaping.
