How a New Roof Can Increase Your Home’s Resale Value

April 16, 2025

Top Off Your Home Sale with a High-End Roof

If you’re planning to sell your home in the near future, upgrading your roof might not be the first thing that comes to mind. However, a new roof—especially one installed with high-end materials and expert craftsmanship—can have a significant impact on both the marketability and resale value of your property. At Paese Construction, we specialize in premium roof replacements that not only protect your home but also enhance its appearance and value.


Here’s how investing in a new roof can yield substantial returns when it’s time to sell.


First Impressions Matter

Your roof is one of the most visible parts of your home. A worn, faded, or damaged roof can be a red flag for potential buyers, suggesting hidden issues and expensive repairs down the road. On the other hand, a brand-new roof immediately boosts curb appeal and signals that the home has been well maintained. For buyers, this translates to peace of mind—and for sellers, it often means a faster sale.


At Paese Construction, we use premium materials from trusted brands like GAF, Owens Corning, and CertainTeed to ensure a flawless finish that elevates the look of your entire home. Whether you’re aiming for a classic, modern, or rustic aesthetic, our team can match the roofing style to your home’s character and appeal to today’s discerning buyers.

A High ROI Home Upgrade

According to the Remodeling 2023 Cost vs. Value Report, a new asphalt shingle roof can offer a return on investment (ROI) of 60–68% on average. That percentage often increases when high-quality materials and expert installation are factored in. Metal and specialty roofs, such as those made with architectural shingles or designer asphalt options, can provide an even greater perceived value.


Buyers are often willing to pay more for a home that will not require immediate repairs, and roofing is one of the largest-ticket maintenance items. A new roof gives you leverage in negotiations and can help you achieve your asking price—or more—in a competitive market.

Warranties and Long-Term Value

Another strong selling point of a new roof is the manufacturer and labor warranties that come with it. Many of the roofing systems Paese Construction installs come with extended warranties of 25 years or more, and our workmanship stands behind every job we complete. Buyers appreciate the added security of knowing they’re covered should any issue arise down the road.


We proudly install products from brands like GAF and Owens Corning, which offer some of the best warranties in the industry, including transferable warranties—a bonus that adds extra appeal when listing your home.


Energy Efficiency and Modern Roofing Technology

Newer roofing materials are designed not only to last but to increase energy efficiency as well. Cool roof technology, better insulation, and proper ventilation can significantly reduce heating and cooling costs throughout the year. These features are increasingly important to eco-conscious buyers and those looking to save on utility bills.


At Paese Construction, we focus on building energy-smart roofing systems. When combined with upgraded siding, exterior trim, and gutters, a new roof becomes part of a comprehensive, high-performance exterior that modern buyers are actively seeking.

How to Choose Trim Materials That Withstand New Jersey’s Climate

August 12, 2025
Protect Your Home with Quality Exterior Trim Exterior trim is more than a decorative finishing touch. It frames windows and doors, defines rooflines, and provides an important layer of protection against the elements. In New Jersey’s climate , where hot, humid summers are followed by cold, snowy winters, trim materials must be selected with care. Choosing the right option ensures lasting performance, reduced upkeep, and enduring beauty. At Paese Construction, a company dedicated exclusively to full exterior replacements rather than temporary repairs or maintenance, we understand the importance of investing in trim that can stand up to years of environmental stress. Our commitment to high-end materials and expert installation means each project is designed for long-term results.

When gutters begin to fail, the effects ripple across your entire exterior envelope. At Paese Construction, we specialize in full-scale exterior upgrades using premium materials and high-end installation methods. That means when gutters are no longer functioning as they should, we recommend a complete replacement, not a patchwork fix.

How Proper Ventilation Protects Your Roof and Your Investment

July 10, 2025
Why Ventilation Matters When homeowners think about roofing, most focus on shingles, underlayment, or visible signs of wear. But what happens underneath your roof can be just as important — especially when it comes to ventilation. At Paese Construction, we specialize in full roofing system replacements designed for performance and longevity. A crucial but often overlooked component of a roofing system is ventilation. Without it, even a brand-new roof can deteriorate faster than expected, leading to higher energy bills, mold problems, and premature replacement costs. Here’s why roof ventilation matters — and how getting it right protects your home for the long term.

Why Patch Jobs Fail: The Case for Complete Roofing Replacement

July 2, 2025
Long-Term Roof Solutions vs. Temporary Fixes When roofing issues arise—whether it’s a leak, missing shingles, or visible wear—many homeowners instinctively turn to quick fixes. A patch might seem like the economical choice, but in reality, it often amounts to little more than a temporary delay of a much larger problem. At Paese Construction, we specialize in complete roof replacements because experience has shown us that patchwork solutions almost always fail to provide long-term protection, performance, or peace of mind.

Hardie vs Vinyl: Which Siding Holds Up Best in New Jersey Summers?

June 26, 2025
Choosing the Right Siding for NJ Weather If you’re considering a siding upgrade for your home, material choice matters—especially in New Jersey, where summers bring intense sunlight, heat, humidity, and frequent storms. Two of the most popular siding options on the market are James Hardie fiber cement siding and vinyl siding. Both offer protection and curb appeal, but they perform differently under seasonal stress. At Paese Construction, we’ve installed both materials extensively and can speak to their real-world performance. Here’s how they stack up when it comes to durability, appearance, maintenance, and long-term value—with a special focus on how each holds up in the heat, moisture, and unpredictability of a New Jersey summer.

Done right, it enhances the architectural character of your home, protects structural seams, and boosts long-term performance. Here’s why trim should never be an afterthought—and how we incorporate it into every full-scope exterior renovation we do.
