How A Quality Roof Can Help Sell Your Home

A professional roof can help sell your home in a competitive real estate market.

Did you know that Forbes ranks a bad roof as the number one deal breaker for home buyers. If your home’s roof is in need of repair or replacement, it waves red flag to prospective buyers. One that says they’ll have a major expense to deal with soon. It could also lead buyers wonder if there are other problems in the home, or important repairs that have been put off. When it comes to real estate, you want to have the advantage. Read on and R.I.G. Construction & Roofing will explain how a professional roof can help sell your home.

Is My Roof In Good Condition To Sell My Home?

It is best to start by having your roof professionally inspected and serviced. To schedule a roof inspection or repairs, contact a roofing specialist like the ones at R.I.G. Construction and Roofing. Our residential roofing experts in Central Florida will give you a professional assessment of your roof. From there, they will help you determine if your roof needs basic preventative maintenance, or if it needs to be repaired or replaced. Having an inspection performed by a roofing expert will provide solid proof of your roof’s condition for your listing agent and prospective buyers. Additionally it will let you know if repairs are needed before selling your home.

Nailing Down Your Decision

Once you have your roof inspection report and you’ve discussed your options, you’ll need to make the final decision. Is your roof in satisfactory condition to help prospective buyers feel safe? Or will you need to repair or replace the roof before listing your home on the market? Will a new roof help sell your home? Before deciding, here are four important questions to consider: 

Roofing factors that affect selling your home

Did you know homeowner’s insurers usually will not insure a home with a roof that is over a certain age? The same goes for a roof with damage on 20 percent or more of its surface area. Of course, without insurance coverage, a mortgage lender won’t close the loan for a home. This potential stress is one reason that a quality roof can help sell your home faster. A solid roof is something buyers seek out—along with a quality HVAC system, kitchens, bathrooms, and the overall layout of the home. 

Helping Home Sellers with Roof Inspections, Repair, and Replacement

Having a quality roof increases the curb appeal and value of your home—while providing peace of mind for buyers. Don’t wait to put a new roof on your home until you’ve been insulted by lowball prices from a prospective home buyer. Instead, call the professionals at R.I.G. Construction and Roofing.
