Does A Roof Replacement Affect My Home’s Value In Northern VA?

February 8, 2021

When homeowners think about renovation, they may think about a combined kitchen and dining room or adding an extension. Roofs are so often forgotten until there is a problem. Yet roof replacement can increase the value of the property, offer added curb appeal and reduce household energy bills.

Roof replacement offers so many benefits over a roof repair, or worse, not carrying out regular maintenance on the roof at all. So how much can a roof replacement potentially affect your home’s value in Northern Virginia?

How Long Will My Roof Last?

Worker replacing with new roof shingles. Roof replacement offers so many benefits over a roof repairThe average shingle roof will last for between 20-25 years before it declines in performance. If specialized roofing materials are used, such as copper or tile, a roof may have a life expectancy of up to 50 years. These average lifespans do not take into account periods of extreme weather, which can drastically reduce the lifespan of the average roof. This is a bigger problem in the coastal areas of Virginia than inland.

Homeowners are strongly recommended to schedule a roof inspection biannually, once before winter and once after winter. If there are any severe storms or hurricanes, homeowners should schedule additional inspections with a roofing professional.

Can My New Roof Enhance My Home’s Value?

Replacing the whole roof is no small investment. Homeowners are rightly cautious about investing in roof replacement until there is no other option. Proactive management of the roof can save money in the long run, however.

Constant repairs and other forms of maintenance are expensive, as well as being an inconvenience. Homeowners may be surprised at how much value a new roof can add.

Understanding Short- vs. Long-term Value

Like most home improvements, the increase in the resale price will not be static. A brand-new roof will give the whole property a facelift. It adds a curb appeal that acts as a natural focal point within the neighborhood. The true value of a new roof is in the long-term value because roofs are designed to last. Homeowners who invest in an asphalt roof will find their roof lasts for twenty years.

A soft slate roof may last for fifty years, whereas a hard slate roof can survive with regular maintenance for up to 200 years. For homeowners who want a long-term increase in property values, spending more on a better-quality material may be the most prudent option.

What Is The Average Increase In Resale Value From A New Roof?

Concept for roof replacement costIt is difficult to judge precisely how much a new roof can increase a home’s value by. This depends on the material of the roof and the locality it is based in.

According to Remodeling Magazine, a new roof can increase the value of your home by up to $12,000. Naturally, this value can only be maintained if the roof is kept in good condition through regularly scheduled inspections.

How Much Does a New Roof Cost?

Every property is different, but most people want a ballpark figure so they can plan their finances accordingly. The average homeowner will spend anywhere from $5,376 to $10,975 on a new roof. The overall national average for a roof replacement is $8,158.

While this may seem like a significant cost, the potential damage caused by not resolving roof damage could be tens of thousands of dollars more. Consider a roof replacement a long-term investment that will ultimately save money on future repairs.

Is a New Roof Worth the Investment?

The roof is the primary protection a home has against extreme weather, moisture and critters. If a roof is not kept in good condition, the underlayment beneath the shingles could become exposed, which would leave the interior of the property vulnerable.

Roof replacement is one of the best investmentsHomeowners may balk at spending thousands of dollars out-of-pocket for a new roof, but a survey from Remodeling Magazine reveals that up to 63% of the installation cost can be recovered through the home’s increased value alone. There are also energy efficiency benefits to installing a new roof. Older roofs may lack insulation and have gaps or holes in them, which can allow heat to escape throughout the winter months.

A new roof is better able to trap heat, which means the household HVAC unit does not have to work overtime to maintain a comfortable temperature. This will be reflected in your household energy bills, with potential savings of hundreds of dollars per year. When everything is taken into account, this is one of the best investments a homeowner can make.

They were wonderful. Prior to signing up with them, we met with multiple other companies who tried to hard sell us into... signing the same day to receive a discount. When George walked into my house I immediately told him we would not be signing on day one, and he laughed and said no problem! He was so agreeable and so easy to work with and the fact that he comes from a family business, I just had a good feeling about them. Not once did he try to hard sell us and pressure us to close, he gave us plenty of time to ask lots of questions and visit a show room in order for us to make our decision. They just finished installing some amazing windows, approximately 25, and a brand new front door. We are absolutely thrilled with the product and the quality of their installation and cleanup. They are a good company to work with! And I would not hesitate to use them again!read more

We hired Adelphia Exteriors for our Exterior Painting Project and we are very happy with the finished product. Rob... provided the estimate within one business day. Viki promptly and kindly helped us to schedule the start date after our project was delayed because of weather. Nick visited the job site to make sure all the exterior colors accurately matched the existing colors. Nick made sure all the areas that required maintenance painting were carefully addressed. He even replaced our house numbers which was a way better option than painting them. He also meticulously worked with Diego to reinstall two shutters that were already partially detached. Diego and his painting team did an amazing job painting all our exterior brick, porch, garage frame and metal light fixtures. They were very detailed in their painting services and professional. Again, we are very pleased with the results.read more

From our initial consultation with Rob until the job was completed, our experience with Adelphia Exteriors was great! ... Rob was very easy to talk to, made sure we understood all our options and answered all our questions. There was absolutely ZERO pressure and no attempt to upsell us on anything. The install of our 19 windows was done in one day, the crew was on time and did a great job. We couldn't be happier with the windows and would recommend Adelphia without hesitation.read more

I contracted Adelphia to paint my living room, dining room and a hallway. The two tradesmen arrived exactly on time on... the first day and prepared the areas. They filled holes, repaired a long crack on the ceiling and two on one of the walls then painted the ceiling. They came back on time the next day to add a second coat of paint on the ceilings and the paint the walls and trim. The painters were courteous, polite and worked hard with just a short lunch break both days. Their clean up was excellent and the job was outstanding. This is the second time and in both instances my wife and I were very pleased. I would not hesitate in recommending them.read more
