Protecting Your Home’s Value (NAPS) A Rainbow Of A roof does more than just keep the elements out. As one of the first things potential homebuyers see, it plays a large part in creating curb appeal. Environmentally The National Roofing Contractors Association recommends homeowners conduct seasonal roof inspections and Friendly Paint be aware of their material options in case their roofs ever require repair or replacement. Each spring and fall, homeowners should clear debris from their gutters, check roof shingles for damage, inspect the areas around chim- neys and pipes, and check walls and ceil- ings inside the home for water damage. Shingles that are buckled, curled, blis- tered or missing an excessive amount of granules are likely at the end of their lives. So if it’s time to replace them, it is a good idea to consider such options as weather-resistant and environmentally friendly roofing shingles. Many roofing materials are engineered for impact resistance, and, as a result, homeowners who have them installed may be eligible for insurance premium reductions.
