While getting a brand new roof for your home is a significant investment, roof replacement is still one of those remodeling projects that not only boost your home’s curb appeal but also increase its real estate value dramatically.
As reported by the National Association of the Remodeling Industry and National Association of REALTORS®, roof replacement ranks at the top in home remodeling projects when it comes to Return on Investment (ROI).
If performed by trusted experts
A roof replacement can deliver a whopping 105% return on investment when you sell your home. This means that you will be able to sell your property at a higher price than the amount you invested in replacing your roof. Some of the other remodeling projects that deliver a good return on investment are upgrading attic insulation and installing garage doors or new wood floors, among others.

Old and Worn Out Roof
Most roofing experts are of the view that on average, a roofing system has a lifespan of 20 to 30 years. It depends on several factors like roofing material, your local climate, and if you follow any preventive maintenance procedures. For instance metal roofs, with some minimal maintenance, can have a lifespan of 50+ years.
Curling and Buckling Shingles
If the shingles on your roof appear to be uneven, there are high chances that your roof is damaged by harsh weather elements. However, if you have a new roof, this issue can be caused by improper installation.
Your Roof Valleys Have Worn Out
When two roofing slopes meet, they create a roof valley. Valleys are among the most damage-prone areas when it comes to roof leaks. The problem usually happens when shingles are damaged or missing in this area. In this situation, damaged areas don’t allow the proper flow of water. Debris and ponding water in roof valleys can lead to leaks and rot.
Asphalt Shingle Granules or Sludge in the Gutters
If you discover any loose granules in your gutters, this is a telltale sign of damaged shingles. Granules are there to protect your shingles from weather elements and keep your roof weather resistant. So, in absence of these protective granules. Your roof will be more exposed to harmful UV rays and weather elements. And is more likely to suffer from issues like roof leaks and shingle deterioration. In extreme cases, you may need to replace your roof prematurely.
