In that vein, we are going to look at something we should all be thankful for – the roof over our heads.  This is not the metaphorical roof of shelter, but the actual roof that is over your home.  Let’s look at four reasons why the roof is so important.

APPRAISED VALUE

Your home is an investment.  If you are looking to sell or are planning on passing it down to your children, the roof is one of the first things that people notice when looking at a home.  A freshly installed roof is not only good for visual appeal but the value of the home entirely.  A new roof also lets buyers know there is no need for a new roof any time in the future.

WEATHER

The roof is the first defense against rain and weather.  Without the roof, it would be cold in the winter and hot in the summer – two situations no one looks forward to having to go through.

EFFICIENCY

The roof is a major part of your energy efficiency in the home.  The roof helps moderate the temperature of the home.  This keeps the HVAC system from running at too high of a rate, sending the unit to an early grave.

MOLD AND MILDEW

We have not talked about the issue of mold and mildew before, but suffice to say it can be very dangerous for the home and residents.  The roof is the first step of protection against this problem.

It is not much, but it should be enough to get you thinking about your home and your roof.  Remember: We are here to help you with your roof or many elements of your home.  Call, visit or send an email.  Thank you, and happy holidays.
