Can a New Roof Really Increase Your Home’s Value?

As Central Florida’s trusted roofing solution, we get this question a lot — and the answer is a confident yes. A new roof can significantly boost your home’s curb appeal, resale value, and buyer confidence. Here’s why.

1. Strong, Stat-Backed ROI from Remodeling Data

According to the 2024 Cost vs. Value report, asphalt shingle roof replacements nationally recoup about 60.7% of the installed cost. That means if you spend $25,000, your home value might go up by around $15,000. In some areas, metal roofs recover even more — up to 85.9% nationally and as high as 95.5% in some eastern regions. In short: investing in a durable roof, especially in Florida’s storm-prone climate, often pays off.

2. Real Estate Professionals Agree

A new roof can increase resale value by up to $12,000, according to a study from the National Association of Realtors. In fact, the NAR’s Remodeling Impact Report identifies roof replacement as one of the most appealing projects to homebuyers. In their 2022 survey, roof condition was ranked as the top exterior feature influencing buyer decisions. One real estate expert summed it up clearly: “A roof replacement can improve the curb appeal of the house, boost its resale value… and help sell it faster.”

3. More Than Money—Peace of Mind and Market Appeal

Buyers don’t just look at home values — they look for peace of mind. A brand-new roof tells them they won’t face unexpected repair costs after closing. It signals safety, energy efficiency, and compliance with current building codes. Appraisers also take roof condition into account, which can help elevate the official appraisal of your property. Curb appeal plays a major role, and a fresh roof often makes a home stand out from others in the neighborhood.

5. Why Certain Roofs Perform Better

Metal roofs are becoming a popular option in Florida, thanks to their wind resistance, fire safety, and longevity (often lasting 40 to 70 years). Homeowners in HOA-regulated communities are even opting for metal roofing products designed to look like traditional shingles, blending aesthetic appeal with durability. Premium roofing options like clay tile or standing seam metal can add $15,000 to $30,000 in resale value depending on the market.

Energy-efficient roofing options — including reflective “cool” roofs — may not show up in appraised value directly, but they can sweeten the deal for buyers concerned about utility bills and long-term comfort.

6. Your Next Steps (No Realtor Interviews Needed)

You don’t need to cold call real estate agents to find out if a new roof adds value — the data already tells the story. National studies, buyer surveys, and market behavior all point to the same conclusion: a new roof improves resale prospects, boosts value, and helps homes sell faster.
