The last thing that most people want to hear about when they are looking for a new home are to hear about renovations and adding budget for a new roof in the near future.  But did you know that a new roof can actually give you a lot of “bang for your buck”?  It’s a great additive to the value of your home.  Even though there is a high financial cost, it often will give back far more benefits than most people think.  Take a look at what a new roof can give you.

The value of a new roof

Better insurance premiums

When your roof is new, you often will get a break from your insurance premium.  Since it is a major renovation, this could provide you a little discount because it better protects your home, and is up to date and code.  From the perspective of your insurance agent and carrier, this is a good thing.  If you are looking for corners to cut with your insurance, this might be a good one.  It also reduces the likelihood of having to make a claim, too, since a leaky roof is often old!  Plus, it can provide extra value when it is time to sell.

Great warranties

A new roof with new materials and installed by a licensed professional roofer is going to also offer a great warranty that you can hold and enjoy for many, many years.  A warranty on your old roof may be out of date, should you ever need to rely on it.  A new warranty is worth a lot when you need it, and it often is easier to hold someone to, should you need it!

Peace of mind during storms

If you live in a spot where you are prone to bad weather, and we all know that Florida is one of those places, you’ll know that having a warranty and a roof you can trust is going to be a great help when you are struggling to sleep at night.  That’s one of the primary reasons why a new roof can seriously add to the overall value of your home, though it’s often left off most lists.

A better curb appeal and selling price

If you know you are going to be selling in the future, a new roof is a great additional value to both curb appeal and the selling price.  Since a roof replacement is expensive, it can be enough to scare away a buyer if they know for sure that the roof news to be replaced in the very near future.  It’s a literal selling point in many listings, so think about it seriously!

Do it right

While a roof replacement has a cost to it, it does really help with the overall value of your home.  If you are in need of one and are feeling apprehensive, hire a professional and licensed roofer that you can trust.  It’ll give you all of the perks and pros with none of the possible complications or concerns!

You deserve to have a roof that is going to protect you, your loved ones, and your property when the time comes.  A new roof that is properly installed is going to be your best choice of doing that, as opposed to a leaky or old and outdated one.  It’s got a whole lot to offer you, too!
