If you are preparing to sell your home ask yourself one question: Would my house pass a house inspection? Although the saying “buyer beware” is the warning for house hunters, the buyers that do beware arrange for house inspections that can make or break your chances of selling your home or getting the best possible price. Roof Repair companies can be the saving grace to assisting in selling your home.
Are you Comfortable on a Ladder?
If you are comfortable on a ladder have a look at your gutters and look for any issues such as signs they are pulling away from the house. This is something a home inspector will spot that will raise a red flag to potential home owners. If you do note issues consider having a professional come out and take a look.
Roof Inspection
Consider having a roof repair company come out to take a look at your roof. They will be able to indentify obvious issues that you can have repaired. There may be issues with your chimney, areas with more obvious issues such as cracked, peeling or curling shingles or even missing shingles from a wind storm. They can address points of concern with you and discuss what repairs can be made to make the roof less concerning during a house roof inspection in Shelbyville, KY. You do have to keep in mind that depending on the age of your roof a repair, especially a repair that replaces missing shingles, it may be quite obvious as it might be difficult to find a good color match. You can also ask them to take a look inside your attic for any tell-tale signs that should be taken care of such as mold, moisture and insulation issues.
Roof Replacement
If your roof does show signs of excessive damage or ill repair have a roof repair company provide you with a quote for a roof replacement. Weigh this against the possible challenges of selling your home as well as potential negotiating issues you might run into because of your roof. Remember that people will not only be worried with obvious leaks. They will not want to hear that they may have to replace their roof in a few years either. If it means more money out of their pockets they will keep looking.
