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.

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.

June 18, 2025
Trim Work That Transforms When homeowners think about curb appeal, they usually focus on big-ticket upgrades: a new roof, updated siding, or custom windows. But there is a detail that quietly ties everything together—and often determines whether a home looks complete or unfinished: the exterior trim .

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.

At Paese Construction, we specialize in complete exterior transformations, handling roof replacement, siding installation, and detailed trim work as an integrated system.

Is a Metal Roof Worth the Investment? A Look at Long-Term Value and Performance

June 4, 2025
The Durable, High-Performance Upgrade for Your Home When it comes to roofing, there is no shortage of material options. Asphalt shingles remain common, but homeowners increasingly seek alternatives that offer longer lifespans, better durability, and greater return on investment. One material that continues to rise in popularity—particularly among high-end residential clients—is metal roofing. Metal roofs are not the least expensive option upfront, but they offer long-term advantages that justify the investment for many property owners. At Paese Construction, we work with clients who value not only aesthetics, but also performance, resilience, and lasting value. If you are considering a new roof and wondering whether metal is the right choice, here is what you need to know. 1. Longevity That Outlasts Traditional Materials One of the most compelling benefits of metal roofing is its exceptional lifespan. While asphalt shingle roofs typically last 15 to 25 years , a professionally installed metal roof can last 40 to 70 years or more with minimal maintenance. This means many homeowners will only need to replace the roof once in their lifetime, rather than two or three times. Metal does not rot, crack, or become brittle with age. It is also resistant to common roofing issues like moss growth, moisture damage, and shingle blow-off—reducing the likelihood of repairs over time.

At Paese Construction, we specialize in complete roof replacements because experience has shown us that it is the most reliable way to protect a home, increase property value, and avoid the compounding costs of ongoing repairs. Here’s why replacement is the smarter long-term choice.

Why High-End Roofing in the Northeast Demands More Than Just Looks

May 21, 2025
Elevating Roofing with Design and Performance in the Northeast When investing in a luxury home or high-end commercial property in the Northeast, roofing is often treated as a design feature—an aesthetic capstone to an architectural vision. But in a climate like New Jersey’s, a roofing system must do far more than look good. It must endure. It must insulate. It must protect against wind, ice, sun, and rain. And above all, it must perform without compromise. At Paese Construction, based in Warren, NJ, we understand that roofing is not a surface—it is a system. Our approach to roofing combines elevated design with elite functionality, using premium products from brands like GAF, Owens Corning, CertainTeed, and Mule-Hide. For residential or commercial projects, we do not offer repairs or maintenance. We focus solely on high-end, full-scope builds—because anything less dilutes the integrity of the work.

April 23, 2025
