A solid, waterproof roof is essential to the overall integrity of the home. If your roof appears to be damaged or is missing shingles, the first thing to think about is fixing the problem as soon as possible. However, this does not always provide a long-term solution. In certain situations, it may be more practical to invest in a new roof. Let’s take a look at four benefits of installing a new roof:

latest technology

The installation of the new roof will mean that the latest technology will be used to secure the shingles, gutters, flashing, vents, subfloor, etc. They are capable of complementing each other to provide greater value and functionality to the home. Also, the old roof is likely to be less energy efficient, which will be easily fixed once the new one is installed.

Choose a preferred style

A new roof can be installed in many different designs, styles, and colors. For example, it’s possible to replace old, worn shingles that have been on your roof for decades with something much fancier, like cedar shingles. Not only do they look great, they also provide excellent insulation and withstand even the most extreme weather conditions.

Also, the ability to convert the roof to cedar shakes is sure to be appreciated by those with the environment in mind. A new roof is better for the planet because the most sustainable materials are used that can offer greater energy efficiency.

Improve home value

The market value of the house will surely see a significant gain after the installation of a new roof. If you don’t plan to put the house on the market, you can still personally benefit from an increase in the appearance and value of your home. However, if you are looking to sell your home in the near future, a new roof is sure to be a very attractive selling point. On average, the value of the house will increase between 15 and 40 percent.

professional installation

Many of the mass-produced houses of the past were built with less diligence and low-quality materials. This can lead to a roof having a shorter life than expected. With a new roof installed by a professional using the highest quality materials, there’s no reason why it shouldn’t last for decades without a problem. The typical lifespan of a new roof can range from 15 to 50 years. The shortest useful life is for a material such as asphalt shingles and the longest for concrete shingles.
