As an added step, have a roofing specialist conduct a maintenance service and certify your roof for an additional four to five years. Once you have this certification, you will be able to show potential buyers that they will not have to worry about issues with the roof for the duration of the guaranteed period.
REPLACING THE OLD WINDOWS
Many homeowners overlook the importance of replacing their old windows when it comes to renovating, upgrading, and improving the home before putting it on the market. Old, outdated windows should be replaced with new ones for the purposes of energy efficiency, safety, and security. Even though replacing all your old windows may be costly, depending on how large your home is, the dimensions of the windows that are needed, and the total number of windows that need to be replaced, it’s a task that is worth it when contemplating the sale of a house. Windows that are aged well past their prime become a burglary risk, as they will no doubt be easier to breach, and will be a target for opportunistic criminals. Old windows are easy to spot, especially on a street of houses that all have new, updated ones. You can also expect a fair ROI on window replacement — approximately 70%. Buyers want to see a modern, up-to-date aesthetic when they are shopping around for a new home. To further that impression, improved and up-to-date windows are an absolute must before your home goes on the market.
