If you’re getting ready to sell your home, chances are you're also planning some repairs and renovations to make it market-ready as soon as possible. Depending on how old your roof system is, a roof replacement may be at the top of the list.

Today, our roofing experts at Shanco are here to answer a simple but important question: Does installing a new roof system add value to your home as a whole? The quick answer is yes! Here’s why:

Adding Value to Your Home with a New Roof System

Not only will a new roof enhance curb appeal—it will also better protect your home from the elements, make it more energy-efficient, and keep your interior more safe and comfortable throughout the year. 

Even if you feel like your roof just needs a revitalized look before putting it on the market, you’ll find in most cases that replacing it will be well worth the investment. On the other hand, if your roof is nearing the end of its life and is quickly falling into disrepair, you should definitely consider roof replacement to avoid discouraging potential buyers. 

The bottom line is installing a new roof can improve your home’s property value by thousands of dollars. If your existing roof is still in good shape, however, you may want to hold off on a full-scale replacement—because the cost may not outweigh the impact on your home’s appraisal value.

It’s important to note that completing simple roof repairs will also help with your home’s marketability, but not nearly to the extent of a full-scale replacement.
