Whether you’re looking at selling or improving the value of your home, you may be wondering if a new roof will help increase your home’s appraisal? Does a new roof increase home value? Throughout this blog we will discuss the benefits of replacing your roof to help add value to your home.
Will replacing my roof increase the value of my home?
A new roof will most likely increase the total value of your home. If you are interested in selling, appraisers will closely look at your roof when it comes to valuing, as it is one of the first things that they see.
A new roof can contribute to your house’s overall visual perspective, which can increase the selling price. A more aesthetic looking house with a well-maintained roof will more than likely sell at a higher price, while a poorly maintained roof can send a neglected message to buyers. The overall image of your house will play a major role, in the value or sale of your home. If external and internal materials are outdated or in need of repair this will also need to be rectified. The combination of these factors may lead to an increase in the overall value of your home, making it more attractive therefore increasing your chances of selling your home at a higher price.
Benefits of a new roof to increase home value.
- A new roof increases durability to withstand weather conditions better than an older, worn-out roof. This provides potential buyers with peace of mind, knowing that the roof is less likely to need repairs or replacement in the near future.
- A new roof will increase the longevity and warranty of your roof. A Colorbond Steel roof can last up to 30 to 50 years if proper maintenance is carried out. The longevity and durability of a colorbond steel roof will make your home more marketable, therefore more appealing to buyers.
- A new roof will improve the safety of your home by addressing any issues of the previous roof such as leaks or pre-existing storm damage. A new roof will protect your home from water damage and other potential hazards that could occur.
- A new roof will help with energy efficiency as Colorbond Steel has created energy-efficient materials also known as Thermatech Solar Reflectance Technology. This helps keep your home cooler in the summer and in turn lowers energy bills, making your home more appealing to buyers.
If you are looking to sell your home or simply increase your home’s value, replacing your old roof with a new one can help to achieve this.
A house that is worn out, faded and is in need of a roof replacement will have a harder time attracting buyers compared to a home with a new roof, which is more desirable.
