If you are Selling your house it is best practice to have a reputable roofing company out to do an inspection before you put your house on the market for many reasons.
When a hailstorm occurs, it leaves countless roofs damaged, many of the homeowners do not know their roof was harmed from the hailstorm until they try and sell their house and get under contract with a buyer. The buyer will hire an inspector on the property most the time. During the inspection process is when the seller of the house will find out from the buyer’s inspector that you have hail damage and you need a new roof before closing.
Most people find out their roof has damaged or needs to be replaced during the inspection process. Typically, this is a week or 2 before closing. If the roof has hail/wind damage that you do not know about, as many do in Colorado, the inspector will put on his report to replace the roof. At this point in time you are calling insurance companies seeing how fast they can send an adjuster out to look at the roof and workout a scope of work with the contractor. From there the contractor has to line up many things such as delivery, crews and working around weather. Then they can install the roof. Getting this done without pushing back your closing is much like needing a touch down to win the game in the 4th quarter with 20 seconds left on the clock in the 20-yard line. It can be done, but everyone has to work as a team. There is a lot less stress if you know about the damage before you put the house on the market.
The other benefit of getting your roof inspected is if you have to replace the roof, it will add lots value to your resale. You also can add upgrades like class‐4 Hail resistant shingles that have massive amounts of upside in Colorado.
You may qualify to save 20-30% off your insurance premiums yearly with a UL-2218 class-4 shingle discount. If you replace the roof after inspection. This will add tons of value for you and the new buyer that they should be willing to pay more for the house.
