If you plan on selling your home, be sure to check the areas that potential homebuyers will most likely inspect —including your roof. If the signs of wear and tear are too obvious when viewed from the ground, it’s best to have your roof repaired or replaced before listing your home.
Dior Construction, a trusted provider of commercial and residential roofing services, shares three benefits of performing roof work prior to listing your house.
1. Added Appeal
With a newly repaired or replaced roof, your home becomes more appealing than other homes listed for sale. This can lead to more inquiries from potential buyers. You can also step it up a notch by replacing your gutters too. Mentioning that your home has a new roof and gutters is a great way to attract people to your property.
2. Fewer Price Negotiations
An unfixed roof can lower your property’s market value significantly. And when a prospective buyer comes across your home, expect them to negotiate for a lower price. Furthermore, you may only get a few offers from homebuyers, especially if there are other better-looking properties around the area. If you want to minimize negotiations and ensure a faster transaction, call a residential roofing contractor to keep your roof in tip-top condition.
3. Assurance for Homebuyers
Most homebuyers look for a turnkey home or a property they can immediately move into. When you have the roof repaired or replaced prior to selling, you give the new homeowner peace of mind knowing that they won’t have to worry about leaks or other issues a few weeks or months after making a significant purchase.
