THE TOP TEN BENEFITS OF A NEW ROOF

• Property Value: A new roof makes your home much easier to sell.
• Return on Investment (ROI): With an average ROI of 67-70%, new roofs are one of the best home improvement projects around.
• Curb Appeal:Realtors estimate that as much as 40 percent of your home’s curb appeal is directly linked to your roof.
• Energy Efficiency: Chances are that your old roof leaking cool air, meaning your HVAC system needs to work harder to achieve your desired indoor temperature.
• Cost Effective: A new roof allows your HVAC system to work more efficiently, thus saving you money on your monthly energy bills.
• Health: New roofs help to prevent health hazards, like mold and mildew, keeping your family safe.
• Safety: The longer you wait to replace that old, dilapidated roof, the more dangerous the situation can become. An old roof in some cases may collapse or cause part of the home to become unstable.
• New Technology: Because roofs last such a long time, the technology of a new roof is no doubt several generations ahead of a roof that was put on in the early 1960s.
• New Look: The new roof can have windows or a skylight installed, which will bring more light into the attic or into the house in general.
• Stress-Reduction:No one wants the continued worry of a roof’s ability to withstand the elements and hardships of Mother Nature. Knowing your roof is solid, possibly warrantied for many years, and will keep your property dry and warm inside presents a wonderful peace-of-mind.
