New Year, New Roof: 5 Benefits of Replacing Your Roofing in 2023

The hope for new beginnings is born as the calendar changes to a new year. Many people decide this is the perfect time to evaluate their lives and make resolutions to improve in the upcoming months and year. Many make goals for better relationships, more exercise, or quitting smoking. These are all worthwhile goals to work toward! 

Have you ever considered making goals to better your property or home? Setting small goals for your home would be worthwhile for 2023. Perhaps the best place to start would be with the roof of your home. The primary purpose of your roof is to keep your home safe from the weather elements, keep a comfortable temperature maintained inside, as well as protect you, your family, and your possessions. 

How would you know if your roof needs replacement? An inspection is an ideal place to start. If you have concerns about climbing out on your roof, trust a local roofing company to assist with the inspection. John Henderson Construction is the company to call! They have been working in the Westerly area since 2000, helping homeowners just like you. 

 Here are some things to consider during an inspection: 

• Do you notice damaged, broken, or missing shingles? 
• Is there not enough insulation?
• Do you have broken vents?
• Are there visible signs of moisture on your ceilings or walls? 

Once you have determined that a new roof is in your future, what are the benefits of replacing that roof in 2023? 

Increased Home Value

Depending on the type of roofing material you choose for your new roof, the value of your home can increase substantially.  According to Remodeling Magazine, in 2022, a new asphalt roof can increase home value by about $18,780. Of course, your particular home and the type of roof material chosen can alter this figure. It would be wise to speak with John Henderson Construction to find out how a new roof can increase the value of your particular home. 

Selling Factor

Are you looking to move in 2023?  Buyers notice various aspects of your home as they pull up the drive. Is the lawn taken care of? Does the siding look clean and fresh? What about the roof? Are there shingles broken and missing? Does the exterior of the home look tattered and neglected? A new roof says quite a bit about the care and consideration of the current homeowner. A sharp, well-kept roof intrigues the buyer to continue forth with looking at the property.

Safe Haven

As noted above, the roof offers great protection from nature. When a roof is secure and strong, the family can rest well at night, and it offers peace of mind during the day. When the storms come and the rain falls, your family will be dry and safe inside. There is little worry that the roof will hold up to the outdoor elements. 

Energy Efficiency

A new roof offers the chance to lower monthly energy bills. Who doesn’t love extra money in the account at the end of the month? Perhaps the current roof is not living up to the task, and the HVAC unit is having to work harder. A new roof can eliminate the need for a continually running unit and not only save money on energy bills but extend the life of the HVAC unit.
