4 Ways Your Roof Can Pay You Back
Your roof is an invisible investment: you almost never see its benefits.
​
However, if you keep your roof up-to-date, there are some hidden benefits that put money in your pocket.
​
1. ​Save on Home Insurance Costs
​
Having a roof in good condition actually lowers your home insurance premiums. ​Since insurance companies work very hard to reduce risk and prevent accidents, and a roof that protects your family during bad weather is a big plus. Check with your insurance agent and see what an updated roof could do for you.

2. Increase the Curb Appeal of Your Home
​
Every house gives off an impression. The way it sits on your property. The color of the trim. The landscaping. It all adds up to what we call "curb appeal." An outdated roof can make even the newest home look like an accident waiting to happen. Conversely, an updated roof can give off the impression that this home is taken care of. Even if you're thinking of selling your house "one day," you should consider updating your roof.
​
​
3. Increase the Real Value of Your Home
​
Beyond your home's curb appeal, an updated roof can actually increase the value of your home exponentially. When your home's value is being estimated, the fact that your roof will need to be updated or fully replaced within a few years can knock a few thousand off the actual price.
​
​
4. Protect against Weather Damage
​
It can be difficult to see the potential damage you prevented by updating your roof, but there are real costs to an outdated roof. Primarily, roof shingles have become twice as damage-resistant in the last 10 years. The storm that can take quite a few shingles off an outdated roof is no match for a roof with shingles made 4 or 5 years ago.

6 Telltale Signs of an Excellent Roofer
Choosing a roofer is simple, but it's not always easy.
​
Here are 6 signs your roofer is reputable and worthy of your consideration.
​
1. Established
​
Roofers that don't stick around can't fix what they missed. Find out how long they've been in business, and how long they've served your particular area.
​
​
2. Personal Attention
​
Roofers should know your name and your situation over conversation. If all you are is a number, then it's time to find a roofer who will care for you.
​
​
3. Current
​
The roofing industry changes all the time and your roofer needs to stay up-to-date. Even one year of thinking that past experience is sufficient will cost you money. Materials get updated, processes become faster, and know-how is ever-expanding.
​
​
4. Involved Owners
​
Family-operated roofing companies can display their values in person. When the owners are involved in the everyday process of the business, it means they care, and that often translates into quality work. Choose a local roofer whose hand you can shake.

5. Updated Website
​
While they don't need to have all the latest bells and whistles, a well-maintained website tells you a lot about a roofer's mentality. If it's updated, it lets you know they're aware of how they interact with the public.
​
​
6. Customer Satisfaction
​
Referrals can tell you a lot. Read reviews, ask around, and try to meet the owners. If you cannot find out anything about them from other people, or other places online. Keep your distance.
