To replace the roof or not to replace the roof
Hello all,
New to BiggerPockets here - and wanted to get some thoughts on whether or not to replace a roof during the rehab of a flip. Comps in the neighborhood are around 150-170k. Here's the issues with the roof:
1. The roof is 19 years old and is showing some signs of wear on the shingles
2. There were 2 gable roof additions added where shingles were installed that don't quite match the existing shingles
3. The ridge vent along the top of the roof leaks slightly in a few locations
4. Gutters are in bad shape and no drip edge around perimeter.
So my options are to:
1. Replace the roof - I got quoted around 4k
2. Replace the ridge vent, fix gutters, drip edge, etc - quoted around 1.3k
3. Do nothing
Again, just want some thoughts here on if you guys think the roof will be a deal breaker for people when buying the house, if i'll be able to recoup the cost of a new roof when selling, etc.
Thanks in advance
