There’s a reason why asphalt roofing is losing the popularity contest. It just doesn’t last that long! Many homeowners expect to get 20 to 25 years out of a new asphalt roof but asphalt content in today’s shingles have fallen to an all-time low, which means lower asphalt content equals lower quality. The quality of asphalt has gotten so bad that new shingles have began curling, cupping and shedding granules in just one year, and the asphalt shingle industry is in a panic trying to figure out how to keep fooling you. That is why metal roofs are gaining in popularity.

Stop Low Ball Offers by Fixing your Roof
When it comes to our current real estate market, I enjoy reading about the trends and patterns as much as possible. It’s always good to know as much as you can on this subject. This is especially true if you find yourself getting relocated and having to buy or sell in a pinch. When it comes to deal breakers, my realtor friend Debbie tells me, foundation issues, roofing issues, and outdated bathrooms are the “big three” that she sees most. The most common she says, is a bad roof. Not a good thing to have when desperate to sell your home.

It’s not just the Interior of a Home that Matters
If you truly want to get top dollar for your house in this economy, real estate experts say you need to attract the buyers. To do this, you need to make sure the outside of your home is attractive.

When it comes to home maintenance, the outside is just as important as the interior of your home. Whether your house is on the market or you just want to rev up its curb appeal, consider an exterior update for your next home improvement project.
