Are you thinking of selling your home?

There are many things to consider.

The demographic area, price, how long has it been on the market, appearance. Prob some other factors, I'm not a realtor to know.

What I do understand to be true is the possable buyer sees the outside of the house first. If you have mold on the siding, on the roof, a deck in poor shape, dirty concrete sidewalks or drive ways, etc. They may not even go inside to look around!!! It would be understandable to assume that if maintanance to the outside of the home hasn't been done.. ( a new refrigerator and stove...wouldnt make much of a difference.) ... that maintanance to the rest of the property hasnt been done either. 

 The house stays on the market longer... Making the value of the house drop. Harder even to sell at a good price.  

A small investment, even just a roof wash for less than 10% to replace it can add thousands of dollars to the value of the home and make it sell quicker!

I'm not talking doubling on the investment in your home.

I'm talking more, AND selling it quicker too.

I'll be doing more research on this with some better figures for this area by this spring.

Thanks for reading and best wishes from Gutterdogs!

ADD THOUSANDS TO YOUR EQUITY!

With the housing market in one of its worst slumps in decades, many homeowners that are trying to sell are brainstorming creative ways to differentiate their home from the rest.　 Some have the interior painted, some work on the landscaping, while others will actually go so far as to throw in gifts like new automobiles and furniture.

Imagine a potential buyer pulling into the driveway of an otherwise beautiful home, but the roof is covered in some kind of mystery "black stuff". 　 They're going to think to themselves that the roof is sick and may even need replacing (although it just needs a cleaning).　 They'll be adding up the cost of a new roof before they've even stepped foot in the house! How's that for lousy curb appeal!　

Sellers can't afford to be this careless with how the exterior of their home looks.　 That bad "first impression" that the potential buyer has will often times trump any upgrades or features that are inside the house.　Dirty roofs that are stained and covered in moss could also catch the attention of a home inspector who might decide to make negative comments about it to his clients, who in turn might offer less than they would. Or other wise just be a deal breaker!

The answer, of course, is to clean your roof before it goes on the market. Save yourself the time and risk and hire a certified roof cleaner who utilizes the no pressure chemical only process recommended by the ARMA* Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Associaion, shingle manufacturers, and the RCIA* Roof Cleaning Institute of America.

That $300 to $600 that you spend on a roof cleaning could garner you an extra $5,000 to $10,000 or more when it comes time to sell as a result of perceived greater value (new-looking roof = healthy roof!), and it doesn't take a financial genius to see that that's quite a return on your investment.
