When you’re selling your home, you want everything to be perfect. So what many homeowners do is they go through everything with a fine-tooth comb and make minor repairs inside as well as address anything outside that might improve their home’s curb appeal in the eyes of potential buyers. Your roof should be on whatever list you’ve created, but you might be asking yourself, “How do I get my Connecticut roof ready when selling my house?”
The easy answer is to call MJT Roofing. We can inspect your roof and offer recommendations that you may or may not have already thought of, make minor repairs, and, if necessary, do a roof replacement.
Here are a few things your roofer can do to get your roof ready when selling your house.
- Roof cleaning — Let’s put roof repairs and replacements to the side for a second because even a roof that’s still in good shape needs to be cleaned up from time to time. This means removing any fallen tree branches, leaves, moss, etc., cleaning out gutters, and taking care of any loose ends.
- Roof inspection — This is the biggie, as it will help shed light on anything that must be repaired or replaced before you can confidently sell your home. MJT Roofing are pros and spotting things that you may not notice. We may even point out issues that may seem small now but should be fixed before they become a bigger problem and cause more damage.
- Attic inspection — Checking the attic is a great way to spot hidden dangers that aren’t always visible from the outside. This includes leaks and areas where there isn’t enough insulation.
- Gutter cleaning — We mentioned this earlier. Gutter cleaning is essential to ensuring your roof looks as good as it can possibly be during the selling process. If someone visits your home on a rainy day, it’s important that they see your gutters draining water the way they should.
- Roof repairs — Missing or damaged shingles, dented or busted gutters, and anything else that is an obvious repair should be taken care of. This is especially true for items that can be seen from the street. Again, your home’s curb appeal is paramount to a successful sale.
- Roof replacement — A roof replacement may be the best solution for old and worn out roofs. If that’s the case with your roof, don’t despair. A knowledgeable roofer can get a roof replacement scheduled and completed in time to sell your home.
Just imagine some of the problems that can be solved by getting your roof ready to sell your home.
- Leaks
- Missing or damaged shingles
- Pooling water
- Damaged gutters
- Ventilation issues
- Tree damage
- Wood rot
- Granules clogging downspouts
