Should I Replace an 18-Yr-Old Roof? |

I am selling a 40-year-old home, which is located on 10 acres. In this buyer's market, should I replace the ugly 18-year-old roof?
The answer depends on the type of roof and if it is leaking. Some types of roofs last 30 to 50 years. But most asphalt shingle roofs are due for replacement in 15 to 20 years.
If the roof looks bad, although it is not yet leaking, I would replace it with an attractive asphalt shingle roof at a modest cost. A new roof will be an important sales benefit to make your home listing stand out among all the other listings. |
