Your roof has a lot to do with your overall property value, which is important whether or not you’re getting ready to sell! In fact, installing a new roof can actually raise your property value more than the ever-popular bathroom renovation. Chances are that if you’re contemplating replacing your roof, it’s probably time. That being said, there are a few things to consider when replacing a roof before you dive right in.
Read on for six important factors to think about before you start roof replacement.
1. Choose Your Roofing Material Wisely
The new roof that will raise your property value the most is the one that will last the longest. Make sure you choose your roofing material wisely and pay close attention to the warranty. We offer a lifetime warranty on all GAF shingles!
2. Make Sure You’re Ready for the Noise
It’s no secret that having your roof replaced is going to be a noisy affair. When you’re selecting the date for your roof replacement, make sure that you’re prepared for the noise level for the duration of your roof replacement. It usually takes between two and three days to replace a roof, so plan accordingly.
3. Don’t Get Baited By the Lowest Prices
When you’re looking for a roofing company, it can be tempting to choose the company that offers the lowest prices. However, these low prices tend to come with a lower range of services and materials. In the end, it’s best to pay a little more for a roofing company that will build a durable, long-lasting roof that you won’t have to replace or repair in a few years time.
4. Opt for Full Roof Removal
When you’re replacing your roof, it’s advisable to have the old roof removed in full. Unless your old roof is almost entirely structurally sound, it isn’t ideal to lay new shingles on an old structure. Make sure that the roofing contractor you work with is prepared to remove your old roof entirely.
5. Ask About Refuse Disposal in Advance
Your roofing company should be prepared to handle the disposal of your old roofing materials. Make sure you know how they are going to handle this. You may need to prepare a space in your driveway or yard for a refuse disposal container.
6. Work With a Roofing Company Who Knows Your Area
Your roof should not only reflect the style of your home and neighborhood but also the climate you live in. Working with a local roofing company is always the way to go. We serve the Dover, PA area and know exactly what Dover homeowners need.
