New Year, New Roof: How to Choose the Best Roof for Your Northern Virginia Home

Hot summer sun and cool wintery nights are the typical weather pattern for Northern Virginia. The weather here has been described as a “Goldilocks Climate” – not too hot, not too cold – and is considered a humid, subtropical region. Even though this may seem ideal, our roofs can still suffer some damage due to a strong storm or hail. Perhaps it is time to replace your roof because of age, broken shingles, or just need an upgrade.

How can a complete roof replacement help you better your home in 2023?

Increased Value

A new roof is one of the best ways to increase the value of your home. Not only will it help curb appeal with a fresh crisp roof, but it will also increase the value of your property. Depending on the type of roofing material you decide on, an increase in value will vary.

Do you have a natural, rustic woodsy type home? A cedar shake shingle roof would best suit the design.

Many homeowners are choosing metal roofing due to its durability and weather-resistant qualities.

Do you desire a new color of asphalt shingle to match the siding? Due to their affordability and durability, asphalt shingles are the most popular choice with a variety of color options.

Easier to Sell

Is 2023 the year you decide to move to a new home? Selling your existing home can be stressful. As stated above, a new roof can increase the market value of your home. Potential buyers tend to notice the roof and siding before anything else, so having a fresh, clean roof is a favorable impression. Secondly, the energy efficiency of a new roofing system is an attractive benefit.

Safe Haven

The main purpose of a roof is to keep the weather elements out of your beloved home. If damage is done to a small area due to storms or age, any moisture can work its way down into the underlayment and insulation. Unfortunately, this is a prime area for mold and mildew to live in. Once an area is compromised, the possibility of sickness and allergies for the homeowner is accelerated.

If the damage is not found, little pests and critters can make their home in the roofing material, creating even more damage. It is wise to have regular inspections and address any areas of concern before it becomes more problematic.

Energy Efficiency

A new roof can help keep the monthly energy bills low and more money in your pocket. Having a properly insulated and sealed roof keeps the cool air inside during the hot months, and the warmth from escaping in the winter. This helps to keep you and your family comfortable all year long.

It is prudent to have an inspection done to determine exactly what you may be looking at in replacing a roof this year. Perhaps a good cleaning and repairs would benefit the roof and help to extend its life. It is always best to inquire from trustworthy and knowledgeable Northern Virginia roofing professionals!
