The roof may be one of the most important elements in your home’s construction. It protects your home from elements like rain, snow, wind, and even the sun. Additionally, it’s an important aesthetic element that’s highly visible from the curb. One of the best ways to increase your home’s value is to replace the roof, especially if your roof is older and showing its age. More than 5 million new residential roofs are installed in the U.S. each year, according to Forbes. Given how important your roof is to your home and its value, it’s critical that you get your roofing installation done right. Below are a few tips to maximize the value of your roofing installation.
Choose the Right Materials
Roofing technology has increased significantly in recent years, especially when it comes to materials. Asphalt shingles are still popular, but so too are versatile materials like concrete and metal. Often you can achieve any aesthetic you want, given the number of choices available. Some materials are more affordable upfront. Others cost more, but will provide more years of service and will stand up better to the elements. Some are high-end aesthetic options. Choose the right materials for your needs and budget.
Choose the Right Contractor
The right roofing installation contractor can make all the difference when it comes to the value you receive from your project. A high-quality roofing installation contractor should be able to work quickly but also with enough attention to detail to get things right. The last thing you want is to have a project that drags on longer than needed or to have issues with flashing or shingles that need to be repaired after the fact. Ask lots of questions and ask for referrals or examples of work to make sure you hire the right roofing installation contractor.
Consider Solar Elements
If you really want to enhance the value of your roofing installation project, consider adding solar panels or even solar shingles. These elements capture energy from the sun, supplementing your home energy system and reducing your energy bill. Prospective buyers may view solar roofing as a major upgrade and could be willing to pay more for your home.
