Selling your home? Buy a new roof!

By DaVinci Roofscapes.

In just the past two years, realtors have seen an increase in demand for new roofing in home buyers.

Are you ready to sell your home? Great. Then here’s a piece of solid advice: buy a new roof. Before you put up the “For Sale” sign, think hard about the advantages a new roof will have on the ability for a quick sale of your home.

According to the 2025 Remodeling Impact Report, one of the top three projects REALTORS® across America recommend homeowners do before selling a home is add a new roof. These same REALTORS report seeing a 43% increase in demand for new roofing during the past two years from homebuyers.

Interestingly, REALTORS have seen home preference options shift since 2020. And, in just the past two years, there’s been an increase in demand for (in this order): kitchen upgrades, new roofing and bathroom renovations.

New roofs sell

What are homebuyers looking for when they look up at your roof?

Easy care with a bit of beauty. They want the crowning touch that makes a home stand out, without the maintenance hassles. The answer here is composite roofing. Available in both slate and shake, composite tiles are a welcome addition to any home… and a very positive upsell to a home on the market.

For example, DaVinci Roofscapes tiles are made of virgin resins, UV and thermal stabilizers with a highly specialized fire retardant. Their composite slate and shake roofs are Class A fire and Class 4 impact rated. That’s the top-of-the-line ratings. These tiles can handle severe weather conditions that include hail and hurricane strength winds up to 180 mph.

And, here’s a bonus. DaVinci manufactures algae-resistant roofing shingles. Quite simply, mold, moss, mildew and algae doesn’t grow on DaVinci products. That means less headaches for homeowners — and fewer roof repairs and replacements during the lifespan of the roof (which is covered by a Lifetime Limited Material Warranty!).

Available in a large range of colors and woodgrains, the realistic-looking slate and shake profiles complement a variety of home styles. You can find free resources online to try different colors and profiles on pictures of your home before ever investing in our roofs.

TCO and ROI

Think you can’t afford a new roof? Think again… and plan ahead. On a commercial project, like a church or an office building, a manager analyzes the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) before investing in building products. You’re probably more familiar with the term Return on Investment (ROI).

Roofing is indeed a large investment. That’s why you need to do your research before making a purchase. Work on the ROI of your roofing purchase.

It’s not just enough for a survey to tell you that you’ll receive a strong ROI on a new roof. You have to research and select the roof material that will bring long-lasting beauty, value and durability to your home. That’s a primary reason why it’s worth the time to investigate the TCO and ROI DaVinci products offer. Start by checking out the story “Why DaVinci Products Will Save You Money.”
