Are You Considering New Siding or Roofing for Your Home?

Are You Considering New Siding or Roofing for Your Home?
Each year, Americans have to spend approximately 10% of their home’s value on repairs and preventative maintenance, according to MSN Real Estate. Common examples of this maintenance include plumbing, painting, and electrical work. Home owners want maintenance that yields a return on their home’s value or at least in energy savings. Turning to contractors, including competent roofers, is a great way to reduce energy costs, improve your home’s value, and save money on your taxes.

    • Slash Utility Costs

If you are spending a huge amount on your utility bills, then you may need to consider roof repair or the best siding options to increase your home’s energy efficiency. Consider, according to the U.S. Department of Energy, the average electric cost for the summer months is $400.
As Ebsco Research points out, using high quality home siding ideas can cut your home cooling bills. For instance, vinyl options are nowhere near as energy conductive as their metal and wood counterparts. This helps to ensure your conditioned air remains in your home. Likewise, contracting a competent roofer is a great idea for keeping your conditioned air inside your home, instead of flowing out of the cracks in your roof.

    • Get a Return on Your Investment

Hiring a residential roofing contractor may also help you get a nice chunk of savings on your taxes. As House Logic writes, installing an energy efficient roof can net you a $500 tax credit from the government.
If you decide it is time to replace your home’s siding, then you can expect as much as a 65% return on your investment, making this an especially good idea for anyone looking to sell their homes. As competent roofers can tell you, you often have to spend money to make money.

    • Improve the Value of Your Home

Did you know poor drainage and roofing systems can be a dealbreaker for potential home buyers? If your gutters overflow, the water they fail to trap can eat away at the foundation of your home, affecting the overall stability of the building. Zillow recommends you keep your roofing up to date to avoid any issues, whether you are trying to sell or not.
When is It Time?
Before you decide to seek out a competent roofer, you should know when you actually need roof repair or replacement. If there are signs of water damage, leaking, cracking, or sagging, then it is a safe bet that it is time to replace the roof. Reputable roofing companies can come in and talk with you about all of the different roofing materials available to you. For example, asphalt shingles are the most common roof covering. Since they last anywhere from 15 to 30 years, you will not have to worry about replacing them again anytime soon.
Help protect your home, reduce your monthly bills, and increase your home’s value with the best roofing companies in your area. Beyond the economic benefits, just imagine how much more comfortable your home will be in the different seasons and how much nicer your home will look all year with a nice roof.
