A New Roof is a Shrewd Investment

A New Roof Is A Shrewd Investment

Having a reliable roof over your head is essential.  Homes and buildings with broken, leaky or deteriorating roofs aren’t safe or comfortable to be in. A new roof is a good investment these days, especially for homes.

Did you know, for instance, if you were thinking of selling your house, it has been said that your roof accounts for 40 percent of a home’s “curb appeal” (aka attractiveness) to potential buyers. This makes sense. If you were looking to buy a house, and there were two identical homes next to each other, but one had a 20-year-old rotting roof and the other one had a brand new, clean, fresh looking roof, you know which one you’d prefer if the price was about the same, right?

New roofs make homes easier to sell, and are a good return on investment. Today’s newer roofing systems and materials help better insulate homes, thus reducing energy bills. More “looks” are available for roofs compared to the past, with a wider variety of colors and styles available. And, a new roof replaces an old one that is more likely prone to leaks. Summer is a good time to have a new roof installed in the Buffalo area, when the weather’s nicer than, say, mid-January or February.
