3 Reasons To Install A New Roof

Many homeowners are forced to replace their roof due to damage from extreme weather, or years worth of wear-and-tear from various weather conditions.

By regularly inspecting your roof and investing in professional roof repair, homeowners can significantly reduce the risk of significant damage being done to their roof and being forced to pay a hefty sum for a replacement.

Having said that, there are many homeowners who would willingly pay for a roof replacement because of the various improvements that would be made to their home.

Here are three reasons you might want to pay for a brand new roof, even if there’s nothing wrong with your old one.

1. Improve the home’s resale value

A brand new roof can significantly improve the resale value of your house. They appeal to home buyers because it’s less likely that a brand new roof will need repairs for a very long time. That’s a weight off their mind (and wallet) that they’re willing to pay extra for.  

Research by Remodeling Magazine in 2018 suggested that a brand new roof would add $14,320 to a house’s value on average.

2. Improve the energy-efficiency of your home

The material of your roof plays a vital role in the overall energy-efficiency of your home. Certain materials will hold onto heat from the sun better, making the house far warmer in hot weather. The quality of insulation that a roof provides will make a big difference to your energy bills in the winter as well.

By replacing your old roof with a more energy-efficient one, you could reduce your energy bills for decades to come.

3. They are aesthetically appealing

A brand new roof can make an old home look brand new. This affects the resale value and your overall satisfaction of living in your house.

Although it’s possible for a homeowner to replace a roof themselves, it’s recommended to invest in a professional to do it. This way, you can be sure that your new roof is safe, secure and unlikely to be in need of repair for years to come. That is undoubtedly worth the investment.
