Want to increase the value of your home? Start with your roof!

A quality roof can contribute a significant amount of value to your home. In contrast, a poorly maintained roof can harm people’s perceptions of your home. 

This is why investing in a quality roof for your home is so important. Here are seven ways that your roof can affect your house’s value:

Curb Appeal 

The outside of your home offers a first impression to buyers. Does your roof look attractive, modern and well-maintained? Or is it tired, worn and rusty? This will have a big influence on how people perceive your home and what they are willing to pay. 

Energy Efficiency

Having an energy-efficient roof can help to reduce your power bills and increase your home’s value. The key to an energy-efficient roof is good insulation. Insulation helps to keep your home cool in summer and warm in winter and reduce your need for air-conditioning or heating. If your roof lacks insulation, this can make it less attractive to buyers. 

Structural Integrity

Having a quality roof is important for ensuring the structural integrity of your home. If your roof is not well-maintained, this can lead to issues like leaks, mould and mildew buildup, water damage and pests, which can weaken your roof’s structure. If you live in a stormy area like Brisbane, investing in a strong and durable roof can help to protect your home and increase its value. 

Longevity

Investing in a quality roof can help to ensure the longevity of your home. If your roof is built from durable materials and installed correctly, it can last for up to 50 years. This makes it highly attractive to buyers and increases its overall value.
