Whether you’re selling your home or just need a change, many improvements can increase the value of your home, but none may improve appearance and value as much as a new roof. As one of the region’s top roofing companies, we just completed a roof replacement for a Pinellas Park homeowner who is listing her home. We coordinated with her realtor and the title company to complete the roof replacement in time for closing, and the home now looks great, and the improvement will increase the value of the home. Improvements to homes to increase value for sale are reported by Census.gov.
A Roofing Project Designed Around a Real Estate Closing
Every roofing project is unique in its circumstances. This project was no exception. Because the homeowner was in contract to sell her home, scheduling the work and seeing it completed to a high level of quality was crucial to her.
Our office has continued to communicate with the realtor and title company to work within the close of sale time frame for roof replacement for home buyers. We have coordinated all aspects of installation to complete the work prior to close of sale.
By working collaboratively with clients, we design individual solutions to their needs rather than following a conventional process.
Replacing a Roof That Had Reached the End of Its Service Life
From preliminary observations of this home, the existing roof appeared to be quite old. The shingles had suffered through many years of Florida weathering, sun, rain, etc., and although shingle discoloration does not necessarily indicate failure of the roof, this roof was of an age and in a stage of deterioration where it would be wise to remove it and replace it to ensure a long life and proper function of the future roof.
Removing old roofing materials and preparing the roof deck to receive a new roof is part of our tear-off process for old roofing materials. Proper preparation of the roof deck is necessary for a quality roofing system.
These photos outline the before-and-after transition from the old roof to the finished, quality roof and the home’s improved curb appeal.
Installing Owens Corning Duration Amber Shingles
We installed 19 squares of Owens Corning Duration Amber architectural shingles for this job. Duration Amber shingles are a warm tan/brown color in architectural roofing shingles and are very popular with many of the Florida homes that we re-roof. The new look of these shingles will be sure to please.
Owens Corning Duration shingles are known for their durability, dimensional appearance, and SureNail technology, which improves fastening strength during installation. Combined with professional workmanship, these shingles provide homeowners with dependable protection and an attractive finished look.
The finished roof made a great first impression on the exterior of the home and looked fantastic prior to its sale.
Quality Installation from the Deck Up
There is more to recovering a roof than simply putting new shingles on top. In this photo, we are installing a high-end synthetic underlayment to give an extra layer of protection against moisture in the roof.
All components have been installed in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions for the ridge materials, flashing, and ventilation details required. Correct detailing of these components will allow the roof to perform well in the long term.
Our team have installed the roof to high standards using established methods. It looks great and will continue to perform well for years to come.
Improving Curb Appeal Before Closing
One of the main points of difference in this project for the observer is the extreme external makeover of the house.
The old roof had faded colors and got quite weathered. It wasn’t an even color all over before we started building the new roof. After we put on the new Owens Corning Duration Amber shingles the house looked immediately much cleaner and so much better with equal and very nice looking colors. Much better curb appeal.
If you are a homeowner about to list your home for sale, a new roof can be one of the most noticeable upgrades to a home. In addition, it removes a huge future cost for a homeowner the cost of roofing a huge unknown that keeps many potential sellers on the fence and can affect negotiations with a buyer.
Experience That Helps Projects Stay on Schedule
Co-ordinating completion of the roofing work and the sale of a house near completion requires careful organization and planning and clear communication between all parties. We maintained contact with all concerned throughout the project to ensure completion in time for the sale to complete.
