Ways a Roof Restoration Can Help Sell Your Home

If you're considering selling your home, you should take heed of the kerb view. A stunning facade will entice buyers inside to explore your home further. A ramshackle, uncared for home, though, could turn them away before they reach the front door. One way to help revitalize the facade to a beautiful condition and appearance is to invest in roof restoration. Consider the following ways that such an upgrade can help sell your home.

Improve the Kerb Appeal

A roof restoration enhances the kerb appeal of the home. Cracked and missing tiles, rusty metal sheeting, and hanging guttering bestow a dishevelled and unkempt appearance, and potential buyers might fret that if the exterior looks like this, the interior will appear likewise. They might not even go further and peek inside. During a restoration, contractors pressure-wash the roof, replacing or fixing any broken cladding. They then spread various membranes across the entire surface so that the roof looks like new. 

Update the Facade's Colour Scheme

The roofing blankets a large expanse of the exterior facade which explains why its colour affects the overall kerb appeal so strongly. A roof restoration provides the opportunity for you to update its hue, as the membrane coatings come in various colours. While you can re-cover the roof with the existing hue, you can opt for a colour several shades lighter or darker to boost or lessen contrast against the exterior walls. You could repeat the driveway paving shade on the roofing to give your home a polished, cohesive look. You might plan to go further and repaint the exterior walls, in which case you can redesign an entirely new colour scheme for the facade.

Guarantees and Warranties

Typically a restoration comes with various guarantees and warranties which will instil confidence in prospective buyers. For example, the coloured membrane might come with an assurance that it won't peel or crack within a specified number of years. Additionally, contractors might provide a warranty that the roof will remain moss and lichen free for a set period. Other guarantees cover the roof's structural integrity. Typically, such assurances transfer to a new owner, who might need to notify the roofing company if they buy the property. Therefore, interested parties won't merely have to rely on your word regarding the roof's integrity — they'll have legal guarantees and warranties to lean on.
