WHATS THE VALUE OF A ROOF REPLACEMENT?
2

• If youre selling your home, its important to
  make a good first impression for buyers, and this
  is typically achieved by ensuring that the front
  aspect is neat, tidy, clean and well maintained.
  Because the roof is a prominent element of your
  home, any visible damage or wear, if not spotted
  by the buyer themselves, will almost certainly be
  spotted by the realtor, and you can guarantee
  that they will point it out to the prospective
  buyers and advise them of the additional cost
  associated with having it repaired or replaced.
  The last thing a buyer wants is to buy a property
  that has a failing roof, so having a
  well-maintained roof can make a much better first
  impression on prospective buyers and add value to
  the home.

• While there can be no denying that replacing a
  roof costs a significant sum, when you consider
  the negative impact a damaged or tired roof can
  have upon your home and your chances of selling
  it, and the added value it can add to your home,
  it may well be a sound investment.
• A damaged or worn roof can result in the
  following
• Less offers
• Roofs in need of repairs or replacement are not
  going to be as tempting to buyers as a home with
  a roof that requires no work at all. Replace your
  roof and make your home more visually appealing
  to buyers and enhance its curb appeal

• A longer sale process
• Some buyers might be interested in your property
  but request that the roof be repaired or replaced
  before they close the deal. They may also want to
  negotiate the price, both of which can delay the
  sale process and make it prolonged and
  longwinded.
• Selling for less
• With the additional expense of a roof
  replacement, buyers will likely not bid as high a
  price on your property as you would like, and you
  may be forced to settle for a much lower price
  than what you originally hoped for.

• What value can you add to your home by replacing
  your roof?
• Even though many homeowners dont see a 100
  return on their investment when they replace
  their roof (as is the case with most other home
  improvements), the chances of you selling your
  home and at the full asking price, are far
  higher, not to mention simplifying the
  negotiation process.
• Increase the value of your home with a partial
  re-roofing
• This is an option for homeowners with a roof that
  is damaged in one or two areas, but keep in mind
  that a partial re-roofing can only be carried out
  so many times before an uneven slope will
  inevitably appear.

• Boost your homes value with a new roof
• When it comes to having your roof replaced, there
  are usually two options to choose from tear-off
  and roof over
• Tear off
• This process involves the old roof being
  completely removed and replaced, and gives a much
  higher quality finish when carried out by
  professional roofing contractors. This is a big
  selling point for buyers and means you can ask
  more for your home than you might be able to had
  you left the roof in its original condition.

• Roof over
• While cheaper, this process involves a new roof
  being laid over the old one, and is no substitute
  for a full roof replacement. However, since this
  method gives the same outward appearance as full
  replacement, depending on your budget, this could
  still be a viable option.
• Overall, a roof replacement can be extremely
  beneficial if youre selling your home, and can
  add value to your property along with making it
  more attractive to prospective buyers. To have
  your roof professionally replaced, schedule a
  consultation with a local, professional roofing
  contractor like Atlas Roofing. Call us today!
