Properly installed roofs should last between 25 and 35 years, depending on the material. This means homeowners shouldn\u2019t be stressed or worried about regular roof replacements. However, your new roof may start giving in over time due to harsh weather conditions and other external factors. Most homeowners don\u2019t realize that choosing a new roof is as important as updating the kitchen, bathroom, and other home improvement projects.<\/p>\n

Many homeowners overlook or ignore the conditions of their roofs and the importance of roof replacement just because it isn\u2019t as glamorous as a new refrigerator or marble tiles. However, unlike other home improvement projects, new roofs have a 100% return on investment. Working with experts such as Landmark Roofing<\/a> enables homeowners to realize the many benefits of roof replacement like;<\/p>\n

A high return on investment is probably the biggest benefit of having a new roof. You can recoup almost 100% of the cost of roof replacement if you intend to sell your home sooner or later. Potential buyers prefer homes that don\u2019t require major structural changes. A new roof presents an opportunity to make your home appealing to potential buyers and price it higher.<\/p>\n

A new roof demonstrates to potential homebuyers that your home is well maintained and protected from external factors, such as water damage. According to a 2019 survey by the National Association of Remodeling Industry and the National Association of Realtors, 33% of real estate agents<\/a> found that new roofs help close property sales faster.<\/p>\n

If your roof is nearing its lifespan, high chances are it isn\u2019t energy efficient<\/a>. Old roofs have cracks, holes, and patches, resulting in substantial heat loss. This makes it difficult to maintain comfortable temperatures, which overworks your heating and cooling system. Overworked HVACs are prone to increased wear and tear and high energy bills.<\/p>\n

Modern shingles and other roofing materials are designed to go beyond protecting your house. Multiple shingle options available on the market are designed to fend off heat, preventing excessive heat absorption. Minimal heat fluctuations in your home reduce the work on your HVAC units. Apart from the design, the color and design of modern shingles also contribute to reduced energy bills.<\/p>\n

Roofs represent approximately 40% of a building\u2019s exterior. While home improvement shows and home d\u00e9cor journals don\u2019t emphasize the importance of roof design, new roofs go a long way in improving your home\u2019s curb appeal. If your house has faded, worn out, sagging, or missing shingles, it appears unappealing and neglected. This impression turns off potential homebuyers if you intend to sell your home.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, well-maintained roofs with striking colors breathe a new face into your house. Whether you intend to sell your house or want to continue living, a new roof has tremendous benefits. However, you should enlist the services of reputable roofing contractors to design and install the new roof. Professionals can help you choose the right roof style<\/a>, color, and design for your home.<\/p>\n

Endnote<\/strong><\/h2>\n

A new roof certainly protects your home from harsh elements. However, this home improvement project has other benefits beyond keeping the rain out. New roofs improve your home\u2019s energy efficiency and curb appeal and increase its resale value. It also abates mold and mildew growth.<\/p>\n
