Roofing Decision

Should I replace my roof before selling?

If you’re reading this post then it means you either are considering selling your home or you’ve already begun the process of selling. In either case, the first question on your mind is probably, “Should I replace my roof before I sell?” So what’s the answer?

To answer that question you’re going to want to consider two key factors: your roof’s condition and home value.

Most roofing companies, including Wisconsin Roofing, will give you a free estimate on a roof replacement. If you are unsure of the condition of your roof, an estimate could quickly call out some of the bigger concerns and reasons for why you’d want a new roof. This information alone could to answer this question.

Alternatively, if you want a more thorough analysis, then you’d want a roof inspection. An inspection would tell you with certainty what issues are happening, plus give you a sense of lifespan remaining. Some issues could be simple repair while others maybe replacement.

Would a new roof add home value?

Would a new roof add home value? The short answer is yes. Many real estate agents would agree, replacing your roof before selling the home will get you better market exposure and a higher return.

Having a new or updated roof may be part of the homes location whereas restrictions would prohibit “bad curb appeal” from happening. A sellers credit may be the best option and depending on the lending institution you are limited to just 6%. In other cases, a lender won’t lend unless the roof is replaced.

Having a new roof would increase the buyers offer plus add a level of comfort which the buyer would not have to contend with at close.
