If it has been 15 years or more since the last roofing update, installing a new roof can have a lot of benefits beyond the ROI when you sell or appraise your home.<\/p>\n The ROI for a new roof isn\u2019t as high as some of the other updates on this list. According to IKO, you\u2019ll only get about 68% ROI on a new roof. However, there are other benefits of a new roof, including protecting your home from moisture and decreasing energy costs.<\/p>\n Cosmo Builders installs new roofing systems of your choice. While most roofs are asphalt shingle, Cosmo Builders also works with other types of roofs including metal, ceramic, and others.<\/p>\n Replacing windows and doors has similar ROI to replacing the roof, with even more energy savings to enjoy while you are still in the home. According to Credit Karma, you\u2019ll get about 69% ROI on exterior window replacement when you have your home appraised.<\/p>\n Exterior doors have about the same ROI, with an even lower investment. According to House Digest, you\u2019ll recoup about 70% of your costs when you sell your home after updating exterior doors.<\/p>\n Cosmo Builders works with a number of suppliers and brands to install windows and doors that meet your budget, lower energy bills, and add to the value of your home.<\/p>\n Are you ready to update your exterior to increase your home\u2019s value and your enjoyment of the home while you still live there?
