Selling a Home? Don’t Let an Old Roof Kill the Deal

If you're getting ready to sell your home, don't overlook one major detail that could make or break your sale: your roof.

In today’s market, more buyers are putting roof replacements in their contracts—especially if the roof is over 10–15 years old or has visible signs of wear. On top of that, many home insurance providers won’t issue a new policy if the roof doesn’t meet certain standards, which can delay or even derail the closing process.

The good news? Becker Exteriors can help ensure your home is ready to sell—often at no out-of-pocket cost to the seller.

We work with homeowners and real estate agents to streamline the process. Our team will inspect the roof for storm damage and, if eligible, help file a claim through the homeowner’s insurance. We handle the paperwork, coordinate with the adjuster, and complete the roof replacement using premium materials—quickly and professionally.

We’ll assess the roof, explain options clearly to your clients, and help prevent surprises that could hold up closing day. Our fast turnarounds and insurance expertise can help you close more deals, faster.

How Insurance Can Help—Without Raising Your Rates

One of the biggest misconceptions we hear is that filing a roof claim will raise your insurance premium. But that’s not necessarily true.

Here’s what homeowners should know:
✅ Storm damage is most often considered an “act of God” and typically treated as a no-fault claim.
✅ Insurance rates often increase based on neighborhood-wide risk—not individual claims.

So if your policy is likely to go up regardless, it makes sense to use the coverage you’re already paying for.

A New Roof Can Help You Sell Faster—and for More

A brand-new roof adds curb appeal and gives buyers confidence that they’re making a smart investment. It’s one of the first things people notice—and one of the biggest concerns that can delay a closing.
