Has your roof seen better days? If you are going through a new roof repair every season, it might be time to just go ahead and move forward with a residential roof replacement. But if you are still on the line as to whether or not you really need a new roof, consider that a roof replacement provides a number of additional benefits beyond just allowing you to get rid of your current ongoing repair hassles. Here's why you should reach out to a local residential roofing contractor to discuss your specific needs.

Restore or Improve Property Value 

Your roof is one of the most important parts of your home and a roof in good condition makes a significant contribution to your overall property value. But as your roof degrades, that property value will as well. So while installing a new roof is obviously a big investment, consider that you are in fact going to get that money back in the form of a significant restoration or boost to your property value. If you do intend to sell the house at some point in the future, having a newer roof will also make your home much more appealing to a potential buyer and your home might sell faster.

Boost Energy Efficiency

Replacing your entire roof is also a great opportunity to replace or improve the insulation at the top of your house. If your current roof is quite old, you might be having trouble keeping the air outside your home from getting in or vice versa. A new roof could significantly boost your overall energy efficiency. This means ongoing energy savings compared to what you've been paying in previous months. This is another financial consideration that can make the investment into the roof itself seem far easier to justify.

Boost Curb Appeal

Have you made other changes to your house exterior over the years and now your roof isn't a good fit for the look that you want? A roof replacement can help you make an immediate and dramatic transformation for the overall appearance of your house. This curb appeal can also help out with improving your property value as was described before, but it's also just nice as a homeowner to have a home that looks exactly how you want it to.

Restore Insurance Coverage

If your house is older, it's possible your current insurance coverage might not cover your roof. This means in the event of a major incident, you are going to have to pay out of pocket to get the roof repaired or replaced anyway. But spend the money now to get a new roof, enjoy the other benefits that come with it and you'll also likely be able to get your new roof fully covered by your homeowners' insurance plan again.
