Top 3 Reasons to Invest in a New Roof

As the peak home-selling season has arrived, it’s a good time to review home improvement options that can increase your chances of a quick sale. A major factor that can make or break the sale before potential buyers even cross the threshold is curb appeal—how your house looks from the outside. Many sellers focus too heavily on interior improvements, forgetting the importance of first impressions and how smart buyers (and their Realtors) will notice red-flag structural problems like an aging roof. So while it’s true you need to make your interior attractive, not spending on a roofing contractor can drive away potential buyers.

Roofs are arguably the most important—and underrated—feature to your curb appeal. Even if you don’t plan to sell for a long time, buyers aren’t the only people who deserve a pretty house! That’s right, you can do it just for you!

And looks are not even the most essential reason to replace your roof—it’s literally the roof over your head, so it serves a critical role in protecting your home from heat, precipitation and rough weather. Some homeowners feel confident enough to tackle small repairs like roof leaks on their own, but even that can have disastrous results both for the house and for your safety! When it’s time to go up on the roof, it’s time to call a Chesapeake roofing expert like Quality Built Exteriors. Professional roofers not only have the right protective gear to do the job safely, but the right materials to protect your home.

In summary, there are three key reasons to invest in a new roof:

1. Increases Resale Value

Anyone who’s owned a home understands how expensive a roof replacement can be, so taking that task off your buyers’ plate makes for a much more enticing home choice. You’l not only get more interested buyers, but you could get higher offers that pay back your investment. Even if you don’t plan to sell for a few years, all the more reason to take the plunge now and enjoy the benefits of a newer roof before someone else gets a turn.

2. Offers Protection

Hampton Roads’ hurricanes are no joke, so homeowners in our region need not only A roof, but a GOOD roof. Wind, rain, hail, and even our occasional snow/ice storm, can wreak havoc on any but the best, newest roof, and then (literally) trickle down damage to the rest of your home. And our coastal region’s summers are equally hazardous, with blazing sun and relentless humidity. Older roofs can’t cut it, but today’s roofs—especially with Quality Built’s weather-resistant Owens Corning shingles—are scientifically designed to resist all manner of weather conditions.

When you have proper ventilation, sufficient attic insulation, and a structurally sound roof, your home will experience fewer air leaks. The life of the roof is normally 20–25 years, but Owens Corning roofs come with a 30-year lifetime guarantee (so if it fails at year 29, you get a completely new roof for free). If your current roof is more than 20 year old, chances are good that it needs to be replaced.

Living under a damaged roof is unsafe for everyone, so it’s not something to procrastinate. Luckily, a handful of contractors, including Quality Built Exteriors, offer financing options so you don’t have to wait!

3. Improves Appearance

A good roof will boost the curb appeal of your house. A new roof makes a home look new, strong, and vibrant. It can bring out the colors of your shutters and door, and add detail that pulls together the whole look.
