Whether you notice repair issues or your roof is near the end of its lifespan, you might consider upgrading it. There are several reasons why roof replacements are worth the investment, in addition to ensuring that your home remains comfortable and protected. Here are some of the major advantages of scheduling an upgrade to your roofing. 

4 Reasons to Upgrade Your Roof

1. Improve Curb Appeal

From missing shingles to mold and algae spots, your old roofing may look unattractive. New roof materials are available in clean and bold colors that both complement your siding and instantly make the exterior look more beautiful and pristine. 

2. Boost Resale Value

New roofing can also raise property value. If you plan to list your home and want a return on your investment, a new roof will increase the listing price by as much as $12,000. Upgraded roofing also typically helps sell a home much faster. 

3. Increase Energy Efficiency

Modern roofing materials typically have Energy Star® ratings. Their design reflects the sun’s rays, preventing heat from absorbing into the shingles and transferring into your home. As a result, you’ll likely notice a decrease in your monthly utility bills, since your HVAC system won’t have to work as hard to cool the interior during the summer.

4. Pass Inspection 

As a general rule, your home will need to pass an inspection before you can sell it. If your roof has any problems, such as broken shingles, dislodged flashing, leaks, or mold buildups, have a contractor repair them before you put your home on the market.
