- increase curb appeal
- increases saleablilty
- decreases the chance of price reductions
Further, realtors estimate that homeowners recoup up to 70 percent of the value of their roof installation through an increase in their home’s value. Simply put, homebuyers won’t pay full price for a home with a damaged or old roof.
Though it’s tempting to install or spruce up a roof on your own, it makes sense to hire a professional. Professional roofing brings in greater resale value and is backed by a warranty. This kind of insurance increases your home’s value and sales appeal.
There are also practical reasons for hiring a professional.
Safety
Most people think the biggest danger involved with roof installation is falling. They aren’t wrong, but there are other possible dangers. Some include:
- insect hives
- soft spots on the roof
- deceptive roof inclines
- slick surfaces
Professional roofers arrive to the site with helmets, gloves, pads and other safety equipment. They also arrive with experience. They can spot soft spots on a roof without risking the danger of causing harm to themselves or further damage to the roof. Even small jobs, like swapping out some shingles, can cause problems for a do-it-yourselfer, simply because they lack experience.
