If you’re planning to sell your home in the near future, you are likely performing repairs to raise its value. However, renovating your home can be pricey, and you want to ensure you only invest in the most worthwhile fixes. One upgrade you cannot afford to skip out on is a new roof installation. A newly renovated roof can improve the overall appearance of your home while adding to its resale value.

Below, the roofing contractors from Ontario Exteriors of Fairport, NY, explain how a new roof installation can increase the value of your home.

1. Makes Your Home More Appealing to Potential Buyers

Your roof is one of the most distinct aspects of your home. As such, any imperfections—including paint discoloration, missing tiles, or water damage—can make your home look shabby and run-down. After a roof renovation, even an older home can look fresh, safe, and attractive to potential buyers.

2. Keeps Your Home Up to Code

Your home must undergo an inspection to be listed and sold. If your roof is heavily damaged, an inspector may block your listing, preventing you from selling your home. Investing in a new roof installation will ensure your home makes it on the market and you can move forward with the sale.

3.  Allows You to Increase the Asking Price

The exact value of a new roof installation can vary depending on the state of your current roof and the age of your home. However, the value of your home can increase up to $12,000 after a roof renovation. This means, you can increase the asking price for your home by at least that much, offsetting the cost of the repairs.
