As a homeowner, you fully understand that there is always something that can be done around the house. Whether you are needing to complete a project, fix a minor issue, clean something, or do yardwork that is waiting to be done. There is ALWAYS something!
Prioritizing projects that will add value to the house could pay off significantly in the long run.
Regardless if you just purchased the house, planning to stay in it forever, or prepping it for sale, an investment now can easily improve longevity while also increasing its value. One of the best investments you can make for your home is to have a new roof installed. To help you further understand why a new roof is an investment in your home, we’ve put together this list. Craven Construction has been installing new roofs for over 20 years and is your trusted roofing company!
New Technology
Just like how the house phone has new technologies to where it can fit inside your pocket now, there are new roofing technologies available today that your current roof likely does not have. You get the advantage of adding value to your home by investing in a new roof with new technologies. A few technology updates in the roofing industry include:
- Roofing Coatings
- Synthetic Materials
- Green Roofing
- Metal Roofing Advancements
- Color & Design Options
These are all roofing technologies that are available today that likely were not available when your current roof was installed. Based on your needs and wants, your new roof can incorporate new technology and add value to the home.
Improved Energy Efficiency
Investing in a new roof for your home can also improve your energy efficiency, and doing so will certainly add value to your home. By installing a new roof, you will also vastly improve the insulation. Adding insulation will ultimately reduce the heating and cooling bills.
If your roof is older, it is likely not as energy efficient as it could be. An older roof will allow heat to escape during winter and your air conditioning to escape during warmer months. Living in an area that can see temperatures well over 100 degrees, a new roof can easily help improve your energy efficiency.
Improve Curb Appeal
Having a new roof installed can also improve the curb appeal of your home, which helps increase its value. With several advancements in the roofing industry, higher-quality roofing materials are reasonably priced. Newer roofing materials are also available in new colors, shapes, and designs to help you further add curb appeal to your home.
If you are planning on selling your home soon, a brand-new roof is very attractive to potential buyers. Not only will the new roof make your home look great, but it can help with negotiations when you receive an offer on your home. On the flip side, if you are in the market for a new home, remember the value that the previous homeowner added by installing a new roof. The return on the investment is well worth it!
Get Ahead Of A Home Inspection
One of the primary areas of focus, when a buyer is having a home inspection done, is always the roof. Home inspectors are skilled and trained to examine a roof and know exactly what to look for. If you are preparing to sell your home and are concerned your roof may draw attention during the inspection, get ahead of it now.
The last thing you want to deal with when selling a home is having a new roof installed. However, you will likely recoup the cost of the roof installation in the final sale price. Many home buyers also see the value in buying a home with a brand-new roof. Get ahead of the home inspection and invest in a new roof for your home!
Protect Everything Under The Roof
Consider everything inside of your home, including valuables, vehicles, and of course, yourself. Protecting these items is the primary function of a roof and likely a high priority for a homeowner. Investing in a new roof will help protect these items from the elements. If your current roof is old, damaged, and in need of replacement, the value of your belongings inside is at risk. Consider investing in a new roof to protect everything inside your home!
