Now This is How a Good-Looking Roof Enhances your Home’s Value
A puzzle looks beautiful when it’s completed. However, the incompleteness is inevitably noticeable if you dare to lose one piece.
Now, it’s likely you’ve never really noticed the roof of a nice-looking home as you walked through the neighborhood. But chances are the roof caught your eye if it was a fixer-upper.
Roofs are the critical piece to a beautiful picture—your home.
Which is why a well-maintained roof adds not only security but value to your home. Although contractors and investors often focus on new kitchens, bathrooms, and floors, the roof overhead silently plays a pivotal role in preserving your home’s value and structural integrity.
Here’s how.
1. A well-maintained roof is a good-looking roof.
We’re confident you’ve seen home improvement shows before.
Have you ever noticed the difference between the move-in ready homes and the needs-a-little-work homes? Oftentimes, the move-in ready homes have a beautiful curb appeal:
● The lawn is luscious and green
● The colors of the doors, windows, and walls speak to each other
● The roof is solid and intact and blends in with the house’s outer aesthetics
A beautiful roof enhances the overall attractiveness of your property, making it more appealing to potential buyers. First impressions matter, and a cared-for roof sets the stage for a positive perception of your home.
Although… aesthetics aren’t the only factor of a good-looking roof.
A well-maintained roof signifies structural integrity and longevity. Roofs with little to no damage are a testament to the durability of your entire home by keeping the rain out, standing strong in the wind, and deflecting debris.
A strong roof is a potent roof.
2. An energy-efficient roof is also a good-looking roof.
Although your roof may do a great job making a first impression with its curbside appeal, it has the opportunity to further impress buyers with its quality.
Your roof is not merely a barrier against rain and snow; it’s also a key player in your home’s energy efficiency. Proper insulation and ventilation, both maintained by a healthy roof, contribute to regulating indoor temperatures. This means a warmer home during winter and a cooler one in summer while saving on energy costs.
When investors and buyers consider purchasing property, its maintenance costs play a significant factor. Therefore, by contributing to your home’s roof, you contribute to its investment potential.
3. Care for your roof like you’d care for your health.
When you’re sick, you care for the more minor coughs and sniffles before they lead to something worse.
The same applies to your roof.
Minor issues, if left unattended, can snowball into costly repairs. Leaks can lead to damaged shingles, which leads to more significant leaks, which leads to moldy walls, which leads to sledgehammers and contractors putting up new drywall.
Investing into your roof as soon as issues arise keeps you on top of its performance and ready to deliver when it’s time to sell your home to an investor or buyer.
Letting roof symptoms accumulate can risk you not wanting to deal with the damages at all—which then snowballs into buyers bargaining your home’s value.
Care for your roof now so you can collect your efforts later.
Overall, your roof does a lot more than put a roof over your head. It protects, it appeals, and it enhances your home’s value when you’re ready to allow someone else to call it home.
Be wise, and don’t underestimate the value a roof can bring to your home. Remember: A well-maintained roof is a good-looking roof.
