Why You Should Fix Them Before Selling.

 


Roofs are the stronghold that keep the inside of your home safe from all of the elements that make us feel cold and uncomfortable. If they’re compromised at all, then the safety of your home is at risk.
If you plan on moving in the near future, you might be under the impression that you can just forget about roof problems and avoid the hassle of repairing them by selling your home as is, but it’s not that easy. Not only will a bad roof lower the value of your home, but after an inspection, you may be required to make those updates anyway. Waiting until the last minute will only cause stress. And, you can’t use a “brand new roof” to leverage the price of the home.

 

Before you list your house for sale, make sure you fix these 3 common issues:


Leaks
Water is the last thing you want seeping into your home. Not only does it damage the overall structure, but it can also cause dangerous mold growth and create a welcoming environment for unsanitary pests. When it rains or hails, the roof is the first line of protection against water damage, and you need to make sure that it’s secure before you list it for sale.
Have you noticed any of the signs of a leaky roof, including curling shingles, stains on the ceiling, and signs of mold or mildew in the past several years? If any of these signs are evident, make repairs to both the home and the roof as soon as possible. We also recommend scheduling an inspection, as these signs aren’t always obviously noticeable.

Bad Gutters
Gutters protect against basement flooding. Additionally, viewers can see if they’re broken, which isn’t going to leave a good impression. Having your gutters replaced is a job that usually
costs a lot less than a flooded basement. Additionally, new gutters will help you sell your home seamlessly. Get it - seamlessly; seamless gutters :D


Too old
Traditional asphalt shingle roofs usually need to be replaced every
16 to 18 years . Because of how important your roof is to your home’s overall structure, you should have it replaced within its time frame. An outdated roof is more susceptible to leaks, caving in, and rotting. Additionally, when an inspector goes through the home and sees that the roof hasn’t been replaced in a very long time, they’re going to require you to replace it anyway. Luckily, a new roof can equal a return on investment around 62.9 percent after you sell the house. And, in a booming market like Austin, having the roof totally replaced will give you the ability to sell your home for a price much higher than it was when you originally bought it.


One of the best ways to sell your house quickly and at a high price is to make sure the roof is safe and sound. Any top realtor in Austin, TX would agree. Austin Roofing and Construction has all of the tools and expertise at hand to get your roof ready for inspections. Regardless of if you need some minor repair or a new custom roof, we can help.
