Does New Roof Increase Value?
A couple weeks ago, we went on a trip from central Texas to SW CO when we got in a terrible wind storm south of Lubbock (go figure!). Somehow the wind got underneath a seam of our roof (a one piece solid gelcoat roof), lifted part of it and caused three tears in it. Since it couldn't be repaired, insurance is paying to replace the entire roof.
The original roof was nine years old and had long ago turned chalky, although I washed and waxed it on a regular basis. Since the roof is one piece, everything will be replaced including the vents and wiring underneath it. I'm having two additional feeds installed to the front and back TVs so that we will be able to watch DirecTv and record other channels at the same time.
My questions is whether or not having a brand new roof installed will increase the value of the MH (it will cost a minimum of $18K to replace it) or will the NADA value remain the same as a comparable year MH? I'm getting ready to sell it and need to know what to ask for it.
