### How Much Value Does a New Roof Add?

Let us look at the numbers. A new roof on a typical Clarksville home costs $11,500 to $13,500

for architectural shingles. At resale, you can expect to recoup 60 to 70 percent of that cost.

That is $6,900 to $9,450. That is the direct return on investment. According to Remodeling

Magazine's Cost vs. Value report, a new roof has one of the highest ROIs of any home

improvement.

But that is just the direct ROI. The indirect benefits are larger.

Faster sale. Homes with new roofs sell faster. In Clarksville's competitive market, a new roof

can reduce time on market by 50% or more. Buyers do not want to deal with a roof

replacement. They will choose a house with a new roof over a house with an old roof. In 2024,

homes with new roofs sold in an average of 14 days, while comparable homes with old roofs

took 30 days.

Higher offer. Buyers will pay more for a home with a new roof because they know they will

not have to spend $12,000 in the next few years. That peace of mind has value. A $12,000 roof

can add $8,000 to $10,000 to the selling price. We have seen this repeatedly in neighborhoods

o Fort Campbell Blvd.

No negotiation over roof credit. When you sell a home with an old roof, buyers will ask for a

credit. That credit is usually the full replacement cost. You end up paying for the roof anyway.

Better to do it yourself and control the quality. You also get to list "new roof" in the description.

A buyer asking for a $12,000 credit will reduce your net proceeds by $12,000.

Curb appeal. A new roof makes the whole house look better. That first impression matters.

Buyers scrolling through photos online will stop on your listing. A roof with dark streaks or

missing shingles is a turn-o . We have seen listings with old roofs get half the views of

comparable homes with new roofs.

Insurance savings. Some insurance companies offer discounts for new roofs (especially

impact-resistant shingles). A new roof can lower your premium by 10-20%. That is $100 to

$200 per year.

Fort Campbell families, PCS moves happen quickly. A new roof helps you sell faster and for

more money. When you have 30 days to sell, a new roof can be the difference between a quick

sale and a price reduction. We have helped dozens of military families get their homes ready for

sale with fast roof replacements.
