What Does Your Old Roof Say About Your Home?
2

• If youre looking to sell your home now, or in
  the not-too-distant future, then youll
  definitely want to assess the condition of your
  roof. Typically offering a high return on your
  investment (as much as 85 in many cases),
  replacement roofs have been proven to help
  convince buyers that your property is a good
  deal, as not only can they make your home look
  more attractive, but they can help lower energy
  bills and mean that the buyer doesnt have to
  worry about roof repairs for many years to come.
• In short, your roof is a significant element of
  your home, whether youre selling it or not, and
  neglecting repairs can quickly prove problematic
  for both you and your home. If you want your old
  roof to start saying good things about you and
  your property, and do good things, too, you
  should think seriously about having it replaced
  heres why

• Your old roof may not be giving your home
  adequate protection
• If your roof is reaching the end of its lifespan
  (which can vary depending upon the type of
  materials its constructed from, but for the
  average roof, is around 20 years), it will
  quickly begin failing you in many ways, some of
  which can be incredibly costly and damaging for
  your entire home.
• Here is what an old, failing roof could mean for
  your home
• Your property has issues with its foundations
• There may be problems with the windows and doors
• Mold could be granted an open invite to your home

• Old roofs that have begin to fail are about so
  much more than leaks although they can be
  costly and damaging in themselves they can have
  a very real impact on the very foundations of
  your home.
• Your home could be valued higher
• Its common knowledge that a professionally
  installed roof replacement can bump up the value
  of a property, and even help it to sell quicker.
  If your roof is old and you need to sell your
  home, having it replaced could be a worthwhile
  investment.

• There are other advantages to a roof replacement
• Replacing your roof can help give you the peace
  of mind that your home is protected while youre
  living in it, and should you be looking to sell
  it, buyers will be safe in the knowledge that
  they wont have to spend big on repairs anytime
  soon.
• A replacement roof can also help you
  significantly lower your energy bills, as most
  modern roofing materials are highly energy
  efficient. Youll also likely get a solid
  warranty on your new roof, giving you even more
  peace of mind now, and for the future.

• Roof replacements are often more affordable than
  you might think
• A lot of reputable roofing contractors have
  finance terms that can make a replacement roof
  much more affordable, with monthly payments that
  can be worked into your budget.
• Rarely is a roof replacement not a worthwhile
  investment, whether youre selling your home or
  not, and an old roof that no longer performs its
  function effectively, can quickly become a
  dangerous and ugly, money sucking eyesore.
