As a homeowner, you understand the pride that comes with a job well done after spending a Saturday landscaping, power washing the driveway or other to-do lists that cover daily maintenance of your home. Some jobs however, should be left up to the professionals. A lot can go wrong with roof installation. Even if there’s nothing visually wrong, it might still be time for an upgrade.
Investing in a new roof will boost the curb appeal of your home. In addition to aesthetics, new roofs will increase energy efficiency, making your home more comfortable for you and your family. Choosing a material with high energy-reflecting properties is also an advantage. A new roof is also an excellent selling point when house hunting, and a good agent will mention it to prospective buyers. The additional money you’ll save will be a welcomed bonus when resale time comes.
While it may seem like an expensive investment, it’s best to choose a roofing material that compliments your home. The best option is to hire a roofing contractor to install a new roof. There are plenty of reasons to install a new roof. The most common reason, however, is for energy efficiency. Having a new roof will improve energy efficiency and reduce heating and cooling bills.
There are a few factors to look at to get a better understanding of how a roof improves your home’s property value. If you consider all the things your roof does, it actually makes sense as to why it has such a big impact on the overall value of your home. Your roof is your home’s major insulator, giving you better control of your home’s energy efficiency. So in turn, a newer, more efficient roof can lower the cost of your utilities. Your roof also protects you from rain, wind, sleep, snow, hail and much more. Keeping you and your family, along with all of your belongings, safe regardless of the weather outside.
The average ROI(return on investment) of a new roof is about 60-68%, depending on the condition of your previous roof and the quality of the materials that you used. Though you’re not going to get 100% returns, it’s still better than most renovation projects or home additions as it raises your home’s resale value by about $12,000 based on the national average. Getting a new roof is almost like buying a new car. It gives you the sense of a worthwhile investment.
New roofs also give you peace of mind that it’s going to last. Nowadays, roofs are meant to last as materials have gotten better and stronger, providing a lifespan of 20 years or longer. With fewer problems and better energy costs along the way, imagine all the money that it helped you save on a month-to-month basis. If you know you plan on selling your home in the future, a new roof allows you to reap the benefits of both short-term and long-term aspects.
