Should I replace my roof before selling?

Short answer
If your roof is near the end of its life or a home inspection will flag it, replacing first can make the home more marketable and may support your asking price.
In more detail
Buyers and inspectors factor an aging or damaged roof into their offer. A new roof with a transferable warranty removes that negotiation lever and can make the home more marketable. If you're selling soon, a reliable or impact-resistant system is often a practical choice. Whether the cost is fully recovered depends on your market, the roof's condition, and the buyer — there's no guaranteed return.

How much should a roof cost?
A roof replacement can range widely — from a value architectural shingle system to premium stone-coated steel — because price depends on your roof's measured size, pitch, complexity, and the system you select.
