Read This Before You Shop For A New Roof
Temperature changes will always affect your energy costs, and as you look at ways to keep your bills down remember to
consider the value of a new roof.
Just as a hat keeps your head warm in the winter, your roof functions in a similar way for your home… it holds in the heat. But if your roof is old or worn efforts to heat your home could be a lost cause.
In addition,
an old roof is often leaky which breeds mold and bacteria overgrowth in your home. The end result can be chronic allergy problems and even respiratory infections for you and your family from contaminated air.
Replacing your roof is a good investment helping to cut your energy costs and increase the equity of your home.
Simple Roofing Solutions
You Can Afford
A poor-quality roofing job does not show any signs of a problem for years. Getting a new roof is an investment in your home, so be very careful when you begin to look for a contractor.
In addition to making sure you see a portfolio of their previous work, ask for references and make sure you call them. WEATHERSEAL Home Improvements will be happy to provide as many as you like.
When looking for a roofing contractor, you want a qualified professional who will use the best materials and back up their work with a good warranty that doesn't just cover the roofing materials, but also covers the labor to repair those roofing materials should you need repairs done.
Your new roof can be a lucrative investment if you ever decide to move. GAF Materials Corp., reports that up to 43 percent of your home's curb appeal is your roof.
Though its impact can be subtle the appearance of your roof can attract buyers to your home and increase the resale value of your home when you're ready to sell.
A New Roof Will Save On Energy
Costs
And Add To The Value Of Your Home
Many homeowners wait until their roof is leaking or notice visible damage before even thinking of replacing the roof.
This only makes the final cost much higher. Poor insulation and improper conditions lead to higher energy bills,
and even to a higher replacement.
A new roof will increase the beauty of your home, cut your energy bills, and
play a major role in your ability to sell your home at your asking price.
Also discuss attic ventilation with your roofing contractor - without it, in the summer, your attic can get so hot that it actually bakes your shingles.
And in the winter, the hot moist air heating your home can get trapped in your attic. This will certainly soak and
diminish the effectiveness of your insulation, increase your energy bills, and facilitate moldy and stale air in your entire home.
The 7 reasons this makes great sense for your home:
|
• Proper Attic Ventilation |
|
• Lower Energy Bills Every Month |
|
• Increase Your Home's Value |
|
• More Curb Appeal |
|
• No More Leaks |
| • Tax Breaks And Write-offs |
| • BONUS - No more cold drafts during the winter |
