Buyers are becoming more demanding about the quality of homes for sale in Encinitas that they are interested in purchasing. The quality of the roof on your home for sale in Encinitas in particular can be a major dealmaker or dealbreaker. With the cost of repairs or replacement of a roof running into the tens of thousands of dollars this is a commitment that many potential homeowners will not want to touch.
The roof of an Encinitas home is essential to the overall quality of the home and a new roof can definitely aid in encouraging buyers to purchase a home. Here are a few of the most popular choices for roofs that can help get your home in Encinitas sold.
Asphalt/Composite Shingles -The shingles themselves are inexpensive and, because they are easy for contractors to install, you won’t be paying through the nose for labor and installation. The downside is that you may end up spending more on insulation because these shingles are very thin.
Clay and Concrete Tiles – These can last as long as 100 years and can be recycled when they wear out. The downside is that they can cost 5 to 10 times as much as asphalt shingles and really only best suit particular forms of architecture.
Slate – This option looks great in the opinion of many, can last 150 years and can be recycled like clay. Slate, however, is one of the most expensive roofing options, can take a long time to install, can be expensive to repair, and requires a very well-built structure.
There are other roofing options that you can consider, but these are the most common. Having a quality roof that is repaired or replaced properly will help you sell your home.
