To the OP. As a buyer I didn't look at a new roof as something that increased the value of a house. I looked at an old roof as something that decreased the value of a house, I factored in a roof replacement cost in MY valuation of a potential purchase and adjusted target price accordingly. When I shopped for insurance on the house I bought, THEY were certainly interested in the age of the roof.

Agree with this as a buyer. Three questions 1. Roof 2. AC 3. Bond. All will lower value if not within my reasoning.
