Giving your roof kerb appeal can greatly enhance the overall aesthetic appeal of your home and of course, improve your chances of attracting buyers when you want to sell.
But even if you are not interested in selling your home, a few simple tweaks could keep yours looking great.
Follow our six tips for the best-looking roof in town.
Clean and maintain your roof regularly
A clean and well-maintained roof is the baseline for a stunning home.
Reg
ularly remove leaves or twigs from your roof and clear out gutters. Our roof cleaning service will sweep away any debris build-up, preventing the development of moss or lichen, which looks unkempt and is bad for the longevity of your roof.
Replacing broken tiles or slates is also important aesthetically and to avoid leaks. Improve a Roof offers a roof inspection service that will spot broken or loose tiles for you before they become a problem.
Choose the best roofing material
Even if you are building your own home or re-roofing your property, you could take the long view and look at your home through the eyes of a potential future buyer.
The roofing material you choose should be of high quality and complementary to the architectural style of your home. There are better choices than plastic tiles on an ancient cottage for visual appeal.
Durability is essential for both you and your home’s future owners. Welsh slate has been used on roofs for centuries. It often outlasts the house upon which it is first used, so you’ll get some sustainability points and a beautiful roof.
Emphasise your roof’s best features
Draw attention to attractive architectural features like dormer windows, roof lights or gables with accent colours or contrasting shapes or sizes of tiles. Emphasising the lines and angles of your roof could add interest and extra appeal to your home.
Add some new features of your own
Used i
n a considered fashion, decorative elements like cupolas, finials, or weather vanes could add to the visual appeal of your roofline.
Stay on the right side of kooky and these additions could add character and charm to your home.
Install high-quality gutters and fascia
Ditch dingy plastic gutters, downspouts, and fascia and replace them with roof furniture in high-quality materials that match the overall aesthetic of your home. Coordinate their colours with the roof and exterior for a coherent style makeover. Keep your fascias and roof drainage systems looking sparkling with our roof cleaning service.
Make sure you can see the roof for the trees
As trees grow around your home, the landscaping you have chosen or inherited at ground level may start to impact the appearance of your roof.
Older trees and shrubs should be cut back so that they don’t overhang your home. If leaves and branches obscure your roof, your styling efforts will all be in vain.
In addition, the shade cast by vegetation can cause moss and lichen to grow which may detract from your home’s visual appeal. If you start to experience moss or lichen problems, a good cleaning from the Improve a Roof team will freshen things up.
