The Facts About a New Roof’s Return on Investment
According to the federal government, an average of 2.3 million single-family homes in the U.S. will need their roofs replaced each year over the next decade. That is a lot of money, labor and material. Before taking your wallet out or calling insurance, be informed of the facts of replacing a roof as it is a big investment you may or may not need to tackle.
Does a new roof give you a high ROI? The skinny answer – not really. Getting a new roof only retains the value of your existing property. However, it’s important to consider whether it’s a good investment. You need to weigh the increase in home value against the cost of the project. The return on investment and the amount of increased value will vary depending on the type of roof you choose.
Biggest ROI to us is the ability to give back to the community that trusts us to take care of their home.

Pro Tips to Maximize Your New Roof ROI
1. Avoid layering shingles: It could make the roofing process faster and cheaper, however, it can cause issues with the home buyer. Re-shingling over the old roof can put into the buyers’ mind that any future roof leaks will be harder to detect/locate and that a future re-roof will cost more due to an increase in labor.
2. Invest in quality roofing material & energy efficiency: Buyers can tell if a seller of the home is cutting corners, so opt for materials that match the neighborhood and invest in insulation and energy efficiency. Energy bills are getting crazy expensive. You will win the buyer over easier by helping them understand they will be saving on their future energy bills.
3. Roof maintenance is crucial: Make roof repairs right away if you see a problem. By regularly checking for damage, you will avoid costly water damage and unsightly water stains.
4. Highlight your new roof: When your realtor is marketing your home make sure that you mention a new roof and any other renovations you have done. This will make your home stand out to buyers and instantly put them at ease.
5. Transfer your roof warranty: Having a transferable warranty will help with the home selling process. This gives the buyer peace of mind. By following these steps, you will be able to your your home much faster.
A New Roof Makes Selling Your Home Easier & Adds Curb Appeal
Many real estate agents and brokerage firms consider a new shingle, tile, metal or foam roof to be an effective way to attract potential home buyers. According to NARI remodeling impact reporting, a new roof provides a 9.2 out of 10 Joy (or happiness index); which helps gauge the likelihood of someone purchasing a home.
Research from NARI has shown that renovations like a new roof improves curb appeal, making it one of the best investments to increase home value. Buyers are more likely to form emotional connections with homes that impress them from the moment they arrive. Your roof makes up a significant portion of your home’s exterior appearance, so choosing the right color and material can make a big difference in how buyers perceive your home.
Choosing The Right Shingle Color Is Crucial
It’s important to consider how your new shingle roof will complement your home’s exterior design. Selecting the best shingle color for your roof will help you feel confident in your home’s sell ability (or overall curb appeal whether you are selling or not). Factors to consider include your home’s architectural style, environmental setting, and overall color palette.
Before choosing a roof shingle color, take note of the hues and shades of your home’s exterior components to ensure a cohesive look (not to mention making HOA happy because we all know they can be a thorn in the side).
Popular roof colors have evolved beyond traditional neutrals like black, brown, gray, and tan. Owens Corning provides green, purple, red and blue shingles.
With new technology, granules can be colorized to fit nearly any color scheme that your home has to offer.
Classic colors are always safe!
Black shingles create a traditional look when paired with light gray or white siding.
Honestly, black shingles are still some of the most favorited color type of duration architectural shingles that Owens Corning has to offer.
White or gray shingles provide a classic and aesthetically pleasing, clean, neutral look that can be paired with contrasting siding, shutters and doors.

Brown shingles, with warm color palettes, can complement various home designs.
Ultimately, the best roof color is one that complements your home’s exterior design, enhances curb appeal, and reflects your personal style.
Modeling Remodel
To remodel or not to remodel, that is the question!
The analysis in this paper explores why people remodel or don’t remodel. The answers suggest that home improvements are not a good store of value like the original purchase of the home. They are more comparably with a consumer good like a car.
The home remodel industry would be wise to market the benefits of remodeling more like an auto dealership would advertise a car. Automobiles’ returns come almost exclusively from idiosyncratic benefits like style and taste.
