A roof is a crucial part of any home’s structure and can require occasional maintenance, repairs, and sometimes even complete replacement. If your roof is in need of repairs, you may be wondering whether the investment is worth it.
At Fair Oaks Ranch Roofing Experts, we have decades of experience providing exterior remodeling services throughout Northern Texas. Here, we’ll explain how a roof replacement can increase the value of your home, among other benefits.
BENEFITS OF A ROOF REPLACEMENT
A structurally sound and stable roof makes a huge difference in the appearance and safety of a home. It’s important to stay on top of your roof’s maintenance and repairs to avoid having to completely replace it, but sometimes a roof needs to be completely replaced. The benefits of a roof replacement include:
BETTER PROTECTION FROM THE ELEMENTS
Often a roof needs to be replaced if it is leaking or has water damage. Replacing a damaged roof with stronger materials will prevent elements like water and wind from entering your home.
Fair Oaks Ranch Roofing Experts offers lifetime architectural and designer asphalt shingle roofs that provide up to 40 years of durable protection with minimal maintenance. Replacing your roof with a reliable choice like these shingles can save you on repair and maintenance costs over time.
IMPROVED APPEARANCE
If you watch a lot of HGTV and want to modernize the exterior of your home, you know that replacing the roof is a great way to do it. When you replace your old roof, you have the opportunity to choose the type of shingles you want to install next. This gives you the opportunity to impress visitors and show off your style.
INCREASED CURB APPEAL
If you want to sell your home, it needs to be attractive to attract potential buyers. An outdated or worn roof can distract or deter buyers and hurt your chances of selling your home, resulting in fewer offers and a longer selling process.
Although replacing a roof may seem expensive, if you are trying to sell your home and think your existing roof will pose problems for a successful sale, the investment will be worth it. Buyers will also appreciate moving into a home with a recently replaced roof rather than having to repair it themselves.
Fair Oaks Ranch Roofing Experts offers shingles from all major manufacturers, so you can find something that fits the style of your home.
ENERGY EFFICIENCY
When replacing a roof, homeowners have the opportunity to improve their energy efficiency by choosing a shingle material that fits their budget, style and climate. Some materials are more energy efficient than others, and which one you choose will depend on personal factors.
Materials such as clay tiles or concrete are more energy efficient than asphalt and metal, but it is also important to remember that the materials must be properly installed to ensure they serve as an efficient roof and provide maximum energy efficiency. Trust the experienced contractors at Fair Oaks Ranch Roofing Experts to get the job done correctly and safely.
INCREASED HOME VALUE
Installing a new roof will typically increase the value of your home due to the factors mentioned above. Although you won’t get a 100% return on your investment, benefits such as improved protection, building appeal and energy efficiency will help increase the value of your home.
Based on a 2023 cost-to-value ratio, replacing a roof can increase the value of your home by approximately $17,800. The actual amount depends on factors such as the material used, labor costs and location, but a complete roof replacement offers a return on investment (ROI) of around 61%.
