WHY ITS A GOOD IDEA TO REPLACE YOUR OLD ROOF
BEFORE SELLING
2

• If you want to increase the value of your home
  before selling it, but are wondering whether a
  roof replacement would be a worthwhile
  investment, the following information should
  prove that in many instances, a roof replacement
  is indeed a very good investment, provided you
  heed the following advice
• Check that your home actually needs a new roof
• If your roof is in good condition and is
  relatively new, replacing it doesnt make a great
  deal of sense, and certainly not from the
  perspective of an investment. While you may
  entice buyers with a new roof, and may even be
  able to increase its value, it probably isnt the
  best way to spend any money you might have put
  aside for home improvements.

• Other projects that might be of more value in
  this instance, are kitchen and bathroom
  renovations or remodels. However, if you have the
  budget for a new roof and any other home
  improvements you think might help your home sell,
  by all means go ahead and have the work carried
  out to give potential buyers even more reasons to
  choose your home over similar properties in the
  area.
• Engage with a professional, reputable roofing
  contractor
• If your budget doesnt stretch to hiring a
  professional roofing contractor, then you may as
  well forget about replacing your roof altogether.
  Going with a company who offer rock bottom prices
  usually means that their service and the quality
  of their work is substandard, and your
  replacement roof could end up detracting from the
  value of your home.

• When contemplating replacing your roof to help
  you sell your home, always check for the level of
  expertise and amount of experience your chosen
  roofing contractor has before signing any
  contracts or discussing final plans. Make sure
  that theyre going to use high quality materials,
  too.
• Have your aging, damaged or tired looking roof
  replaced by a professional roofing contractor.
  By doing so, theres a strong chance that not
  only will potential buyers be more attracted to
  your home thanks to not having to repair or
  replace the roof for many years to come, but they
  may even be prepared to pay more for that benefit.

• Include your new roof on the listing
• You want potential buyers to know that youve
  invested in a new roof on the property theyre
  interested in buying, so make sure you include it
  as a top selling feature on the listing, and keep
  your realtor informed about it, too. In fact, you
  should be shouting it from the rooftop!
• In general, having your roof replaced is always a
  good investment, especially if its in need of
  repair or is approaching the end of its natural
  lifespan, just be sure to take the above advice
  into account before paying to have the work
  carried out. If youre not sure if you would
  benefit from a new roof, contact Atlas Roofing
