Restore your home's curb appeal with a new roof

When a homeowner thinks about curb appeal, a few obvious things come to mind right away. The yard, the landscaping, the paint or stain, the windows and the general condition of the property all come under immediate scrutiny. The roof, however, is sometimes an afterthought because it’s not something a homeowner can make small adjustments on to beautify the property. But, the roof is actually a key component to curb appeal. Roofing materials sometimes cover more than 50% of the visible exterior surfaces of a home and the condition of the shingles, shakes, tile, etc. is in fact a very real expression as to the overall condition of the home. It’s an interesting thing, the role of a roof in the curb appeal dynamic. Think about houses you observe. When the roof is in complete order with new or recently installed shingles, in good condition, with underlayment, decks, trim and fascia all as they should be, it probably won’t be the first thing you’ll comment on when viewing the home’s exterior. However, if the roof is in poor condition with broken, loose or damaged shingles; or if the roof is stained with algae or moss, you’ll probably notice it right away. It’s hard not to notice a stained roof … and a roof with mended shingles loaded with roof sealer or carelessly made roof repairs stands out right away to passersby. The bottom line is this: a roof that’s clean and in good shape doesn’t call immediate attention to itself, but a stained or damaged roof will almost always give a negative impression. If your roof is stained or dirty, it’s probably time for a cleaning. If your roof materials are damaged or worn out, it’s time for a roof replacement.
