A New Roof Could Cost You Nothing (in the long run!)

Choosing to remodel your home can be exciting! Kitchens, bathrooms, and additions are the most popular projects homeowners take on. While getting a more visually appealing space is a primary goal, most homeowners expect these improvements will significantly add value to their home.

But many don’t. In fact, many will not have a positive return on investment, meaning people will not recoup the cost of the project if they go to sell their home.
 
With that said, there are home improvement projects that combine aesthetic upgrades and will add to your home’s value. A new roof is one of those projects. Read this report from Qualified Remodeler to see the ROI of all home projects based on location.  
 
ROI of a New Roof
 
Replacing a roof is an expensive project that most homeowners avoid. Even though the cost can be an issue for homeowners, if a roof is damaged or needs to be replaced, it can affect more than just a home's overall value. It can cause increased energy bills, reduce curb appeal and may impact your homeowner’s insurance rates.
 
According to the Qualified Remodeler report, homeowners who replace or upgrade their roof see 109% return on their investment when they go to sell their home. That’s great news for homeowners!
 
What makes the ROI of a new roof so high?
 
To start, the roof of a home accounts for about 40% of the overall curb appeal. An old, damaged or ugly roof can negatively impact a home’s list price and the length of time it stays on the market. In fact, according to the Qualified Remodeler report, however, 32% of real estate agents claim that a recently replaced roof helped close the deal.
 
Also, in addition to curb appeal, a new roof often improves a home's energy efficiency and can reduce overall insurance rates. Roofing materials today are far more advanced than they were even 10 years ago and offer superior protection against leaks and potential damage. All these benefits give homeowners peace of mind, and that's why homes with a new roof are sought after by home buyers.
