Roof Material Question for flip
Low slope roof on 1,200 sf starter home in working class neighborhood.
It seems like the proper option is a TPO roof with and estimated lifespan of 20 years.
It seem that the cheaper option is to replace the exsisting MSR roll roofing with the same again which has a 8 ish year lifespan.
The price difference is $1,800.
Do buyers know or care ? New roof is a new roof either way. Or would a roll roof be a large decrease in value?
It wouldn't be the only roll roof in the neighborhood. I'm using the same contractor either way.
