A smart homeowner is always looking for clever ways to increase their home’s value. There are many home improvement projects that can do exactly that, but one that you should seriously consider is hiring a roof contractor to upgrade your roof. A brand-new, modern, and energy-efficient roof not only gives you the opportunity to significantly decrease your energy costs but also greatly increases your curb appeal and property value.
A New Roof and Your ROI
Each year, the great folks over at Remodeling Magazine conduct an extensive survey that compares the ROI of the most popular home improvement projects. Included in this survey are bathroom remodels, kitchen remodels, basement finishing, decking, replacement windows, garage additions, and, of course, new roofs.
According to data from the 2021 survey, hiring a roofer to replace your asphalt shingle roof increases home resale value by an average of $17,000, or about 60.7% of your initial investment. This statistic puts new roofs ahead of bathroom and kitchen remodels as well as a master suite addition by a good margin.
Even if you aren’t looking to put your house on the market anytime in the foreseeable future, it is always a good idea to increase your property value. A roof replacement also makes a lot of sense if you have an older roofing system that is due for an upgrade anyway. That way you can enjoy better energy savings, comfort, as well as an improved look and feel of your home.
