How a New Roof Can Add Value to Your Home

D.S. Bahr Construction • March 29, 2023

If you’re a homeowner, you should look for ways to add value to your property. Installing a new roof is one of the most significant investments. A new roof not only improves the look of your home but also has several practical advantages. This blog will explore how a new roof will add value to your home.

Increased Curb Appeal

The roof is a noticeable part of the outside of a house, and how it looks can have a big effect on how the house looks and feels as a whole. A new roof makes a house that is old or out of style look modern and nice. An old, worn-out, or damaged roof can take away from the look of your home and make it look neglected.

Your house will have a fresh look if you choose a style that goes with the rest of your home. Choose a roof that complements your home’s architecture, color scheme, and other aesthetic features. You have a wide range of options to choose from, including materials, styles, and colors.

No Inspection Issues

A new roof increases your home’s value by eliminating problems that could come up during the home inspection process. Potential buyers often inspect a house for sale to identify any problems that require fixing before the sale can proceed. An old or damaged roof can be a red flag for buyers, which could cause problems during an inspection and make your home less valuable.

A new roof can also give potential buyers peace of mind since they won’t have to worry about paying for and dealing with replacing the roof soon after buying the house. Your home will be more appealing to buyers and raise its value.

Longevity and a New Warranty

A typical roof lasts for 25 to 50 years, depending on the materials used and the level of maintenance it receives. A new roof usually comes with a warranty from the manufacturer or contractor. This warranty covers any problems with how the product was made or put together. If any issues arise with the roof during this period, the buyer can have them fixed without paying extra money. Moreover, a new roof will save you thousands of dollars in repair costs.

Energy Efficiency

Modern roofing materials reflect sunlight and absorb less heat, which keeps your home cooler in the summer and lowers cooling costs by reducing the need for air conditioning. A new roof will give you better insulation, which keeps your home at a comfortable temperature all year. More and more people are looking for houses with energy-efficient roofs because they want to use less energy and save money in the long run.

You may be eligible for government incentives and rebates if you choose an energy-efficient roof. People are encouraged to reduce their carbon footprint by using these incentives. These rebates can help cover some of the cost of putting on a new roof, making it a more affordable option for homeowners.

Adds New Technologies

Some roofing materials now have built-in solar panels that generate electricity and lower energy costs.

Other materials have sensors that can find leaks or other problems that prevent water damage and mold growth. Manufacturers design some roofing materials to be more durable and resistant to harsh weather conditions like wind and hail, protecting homes and saving money in the long run. In areas prone to wildfires, roofing materials are now fire-resistant.
