Never underestimate the power of curb appeal. A whopping 99 percent of National Association of Realtors members believe it’s important in attracting a buyer.

August is National Curb Appeal Month, and the perfect time for homeowners to make upgrades. Whether repairs enhance form, function or both, homeowners should select projects that will improve quality of life now, and add value when it comes time to sell.

Encourage homeowners to take a “top down” approach, starting with the roof. They can get 68.8 percent of the cost recouped from this investment when reselling a mid-ranged priced home, according to the “2017 Cost Versus Value Study” from Remodeling Magazine. Plus, it’s a big impact project with long-lasting value, especially if they choose low maintenance, high-quality materials. For example, the composite slate and shake roof offerings at DaVinci Roofscapes are durable and impact- and fire-resistant.
