According to the 2022 Remodeling Impact Report, there are just two major products that give you 100% cost recovery and one of them, notably, is roofing. Sponsored by the National Association of the Remodeling Industry (NARI) and the National Association of REALTORS® (NAR), the report analyzes nearly two dozen remodeling projects. Study results are based on three sources of feedback including: the measurement of “Joy Factor” from homeowners, the cost recovery of improvements via improved home resale value from REALTORS® and remodeling project fees information from NARI members.
The reasons to replace a roof are often simple. For example, sometimes homeowners are replacing a roof severely damaged by an extreme weather event. Others are looking to optimize the home’s energy efficiency and reduce long-term energy bills.
The good news is that, according to the study, the cost recovery to re-roof is 100%, meaning that every dollar spent on a new roof goes directly into the home’s improved resale value. With numbers like that, what could make a homeowner more convinced to invest in a new roof?
With Westlake Royal Building Products’ Concrete, Composite, Clay and Stone-Coated Steel roofing systems, there are many additional incentives to consider. Just a few of these are:
