When it’s time to sell your home, first impressions matter. And while fresh paint or updated landscaping might turn heads, there’s one upgrade that consistently delivers long-term value: a new roof.
At United Contracting & Roofing, we’ve helped homeowners across northern Georgia and upstate South Carolina increase their home’s curb appeal, reduce buyer objections, and boost resale potential simply by replacing an outdated or damaged roof. Whether you plan to list soon or a few years down the road, a new roof can make your home stand out in a competitive market.
Your roof makes up nearly 40% of your home’s exterior view. That means even the most beautifully staged interior can’t offset curling shingles or discolored streaks on the roofline. Buyers form opinions quickly, and a worn-out roof sends the wrong message.
Installing a new roof instantly refreshes your home’s appearance and indicates to buyers that the home has been well maintained. With today’s architectural shingles and designer options, you can choose a color and texture that enhances your home’s style without overpowering it. With guidance from our team, you can pick materials that match your neighborhood, helping your house blend in where it should and stand out where it counts.
No buyer wants to take on a major repair right after moving in. If your roof is showing its age or has a known leak, most buyers will either walk away or demand a steep discount. Worse, their lender may require a roof inspection—and that inspection could derail the deal if the roof doesn’t pass.
Replacing your roof before listing gives you the upper hand. You eliminate the need for repair negotiations, speed up inspections, and avoid surprises that could scare buyers off. According to a report from the National Association of the Remodeling Industry, 32% of realtors say a new roof helped them close the sale. That’s not just peace of mind, it’s strategic positioning.
Studies vary, but they all agree on one thing: replacing your roof before you sell can offer a solid return. Remodeling Magazine’s Cost vs. Value report found that homeowners recoup an average of 68% of their investment in a new asphalt shingle roof. In some cases, that ROI jumps as high as 100% or more, especially when the old roof was in bad shape.
Your exact return will depend on the condition of your current roof, the real estate market in your area, and the materials you choose. If your roof is only five years old and in great condition, replacing it might not add much value. But if your roof is 20 years old or shows visible damage, replacing it will make your home significantly more attractive to buyers and appraisers alike.
Not all roofing materials carry the same weight when it comes to resale value. At United Contracting & Roofing, we guide clients toward smart selections that fit both their budget and their market.
One powerful selling point that many homeowners overlook? The roof warranty. Most modern roofing systems come with warranties ranging from 15 to 50 years. If you’re installing a new roof before selling, choose a transferable warranty and make sure your roofing contractor registers it properly. Buyers love knowing they’re covered, and it can set your home apart from similar listings.
If your roof only has a few years of life left, don’t wait. Today’s buyers are cautious, and inspectors will flag even minor roof issues. If you’re preparing to sell and aren’t sure whether to repair or replace, we’re happy to inspect your roof and offer honest recommendations. Sometimes a few well-done repairs can buy you time—but if a full replacement makes more financial sense, we’ll lay out your options clearly.
A new roof might not be the flashiest home improvement, but it’s one of the smartest—especially when resale is on your horizon. You’ll protect your home, impress buyers, and potentially close faster and at your ideal price.
