The condition of your roof greatly influences the overall look of your house. If the roof looks weathered and the shingles are loose, the house can look older and neglected and that can negatively affect the value of the home. A new roof will greatly enhance the value of your home. Not only does it increase value because it is a recent improvement, but the overall look of the house is more impressive.
A new roof will reassure buyers looking at your home that the house is well maintained. A roof in disrepair will make buyers think that other items may be neglected as well. They may think the overall structure of the building is not sound. Once a prospect starts having doubts as to the quality of your home, it will be much more difficult to have a sale go through. Even if they decide to buy, they may be willing to pay less because of their suspicions.
The roof does not require much maintenance to keep it looking in great condition. Therefore, you may want to replace the roof even if you are not currently considering selling your home. If the roof needs to be replaced, it is best to do it as soon as possible to prevent further damage to the interior of the house. The great look of your roof can be maintained by checking on the roof after major storms to ensure no damage has taken place, trimming tree branches to prevent them from covering the roof, and keeping the gutters and downspouts free of debris.
The roof is one of the main parts of the house that is most visible. The decision to buy or not takes only a few seconds. If the first impression is not impressive, selling the house becomes more difficult.
