Time to Fix the Roof?

Is your home lacking a certain something in ways of curb appeal? Perhaps you’ve trimmed the hedges, and manicured the lawn, but something is still missing. Maybe you’ve even given your home some fresh paint. But have you looked up? It may be time for a new roof. If so, it might be time to call a Hunterdon County roof repair specialist. Following a Hunterdon County siding repair job, replacing your roof can add value. It can also add aesthetic appeal, and obviously save your home from any possible rot or mold from leaky or missing roof tiles.

Adding value to your home

When thinking of home improvements, most homeowners automatically think of the inside of the home. While bathroom and kitchen makeovers do help, a new roof can dramatically increase the resale value. In most cases, it will pay for itself in resale value. Another bonus is that a new roof will not become outdated next spring when magazines are showing the latest in kitchen design. The roof is one of a home’s features under scrutiny during a home inspection. No one wants to move into a home and worry about leaks.

How do I know when it’s time to call a roof repair specialist?

How do you tell when you need a new roof? If tiles are missing, water can seep under the roof and cause rot throughout the whole roof. Contact a Markey LLC specialist to check for any missing tiles or if you know some are missing. Another obvious way is if you see any water damage in attics or on bedroom ceilings. Don’t delay, but contact a specialist before further damage occurs.

Now you’ve decided to call a specialist, what are the options?

Many homeowners are deciding to replace their old roof with a metal one. A metal roof does not rot, cannot be eaten by termites, and is lightweight. A metal roof is easy to keep clean, and does not retain snowfall. A metal roof can be more energy efficient, too, reflecting intense rays during summer daylight hours. This means your air conditioner will not be working overtime all summer. This is good news for your wallet, and the environment.

If a metal roof is not for you, a tile one will definitely add that curb appeal, and will be a worthwhile investment in your home. Keeping your home cooler during the summer months and warmer during the winter are also a huge benefit. While most people think of the traditional southwestern red in a tile roof, other color options are available. A tile roof will really give a home a finished appealing look.

Shingle roofs are probably the most popular choice in a new roof. The variety of colors appeal to many homeowners. They are durable, muffle the sound of rainfall, and can still add great resale value to your home.

Are you ready to increase the value of your home?

Replacing an old roof makes a lot of sense to a homeowner. It can add resale value, as most prospective buyers can be put off at the thought of immediate home repair. A new roof can add to your home’s appearance. Perhaps the new siding you bought or the new exterior color are less appealing with your old, peeling, and discolored roofing. Are you paying too much in heating and cooling costs? Have you noticed damp spots in your home’s interior? Do you need advice on roofing? Is it time for a whole new roof or are you in need of repair? If you can answer yes to any of these, consider calling a Hunterdon County roof repair specialist today.
