The Right Roof Can Add Value to Your Home
Putting a new roof on your house might not be something you need to do immediately. However, investing the time today to learn now about they types of roofing materials available, their warranties, benefits, and cost effectiveness can pay-off when tomorrow comes.
We’re biased, but we hope that you will consider a Rustic Shingle metal roof for your Louisiana home.
Why metal roofing?
A standard, asphalt shingled roof is the norm for most neighborhoods. When a home goes on the market, the roof is expected to be in good working order; it’s a necessity, just like the HVAC systems and plumbing. A home needs a working roof. You don’t pay pay extra for a home system that works…it’s expected to.
A recent study by one of the remodeling magazines reported that a high quality metal roof will immediately add about 65% of its cost to the home’s value. This number is similar to other major home improvements like kitchens and baths. Replacing a standard grade roof with another standard grade roof only restores value that was lost as the old roof had degraded and detracted from home value. It doesn’t really add any new value.
