Can Your Roof Enhance The Value Of Your Home?
|
(NAPS)---- Whether you want to make your home more comfortable or more valuable, it may pay to start at the top. A new roof can be one of the best ways to add to your home's value and marketability. Ask any real estate agent: typically 40 percent of the visual ("curb") appeal of a home comes from the roof. To help, there is now a web site where you can see how shingle colors and designs can affect the appearance of your home. Try www.gaf.com and click on the Smart Choice icon. You will find four options there: Key Danger Signals; Weather Stopper System; Roof Selector; and Smart Choice Warranties. The Key Danger Signals section helps you to spot roofing problems before they turn into damaging leaks. For example, it explains how a faulty roofing system can cause excess energy bills or even blistering of internal or external paint. The Weather Stopper System section explains why a good roof job is more than just banging up some shingles. It helps you under-stand the primary elements of a properly designed roofing system, which can provide comprehensive protection for your home. For example, you'll see how a small investment in a leak barrier can help prevent problems in the most vulnerable areas of a roof. The Roof Selector section provides a wide

selection of home styles so that you can find one that looks similar to yours. You then select colors for the home and trim, and - after that - view the same home with various roof shingle designs and colors to get a better sense of the "curb appeal" you can create. The Smart Choice Warranty section explains different options you might select to protect your new roofing investment - all of which are backed by GAF Materials Corp-oration, America's largest roofing manufacturer. For example, the Golden Pledge limited warranty not only protects your roofing investment against material defects, but backs the installation and workmanship by specially trained factory - certified contr-actors.
