Selling or buying
Plant City Roof Rejuvenation for Home Sellers & Buyers
An older roof can stall a sale even when it is still doing its job. We look at the shingles, explain what a treatment would and would not do, and leave the decision with the people doing the deal.
Selling or buying, and the roof gets flagged
It tends to happen one of two ways. A seller getting ready to list wonders whether the roof's age will put buyers off, or a buyer's inspection notes faded, granule-worn shingles on a roof that is not leaking. Either way, the roof may suit rejuvenation — a treatment that puts oils back into dried shingles so they flex and hold their grit, adding years to a sound roof without tearing it off or filling a dumpster. We give everyone involved the same plain account of what the shingles look like and what treating them does.
Where it can help, and where it cannot
We are upfront about this, because a sale is the worst place for surprises.
Where it fits
- Shingles aged and faded but still lying flat
- Granule loss noted, with no leaks
- A seller who wants the roof looked after before listing
- A buyer and seller who agree on treatment after the inspection
What we will not claim
- That the roof will pass any inspection
- That it changes what the house sells for
- That it settles anything a lender or insurance company asks for
- That it fixes leaks, soft decking or storm damage
Keeping it straight for both sides
The same story to everyone
Whoever calls, we describe the roof as we find it, with no shading for the seller or the buyer.
A clear record of the work
You get a plain note of what was done and when, to pass to the other side if you choose.
Small fixes handled first
Loose shingles or bare nails picked up at inspection can be dealt with in a pre-treatment tune-up.
Questions from sellers and buyers
Will a treatment get the house through inspection?
No honest contractor can promise that, and we will not. What we can explain is what the treatment does for the shingles; how much that counts in the sale is up to the buyer, the seller and their agents.
How quickly can it be done?
Most treatments are finished in a few hours once the roof is dry. Whether it lands before closing comes down to the weather and how full our schedule is, so an early call helps.
Who should call you, the seller or the buyer?
Either one. We look at the roof for whoever arranges it and explain the same facts to both sides.
Roof flagged in a sale?
Call and we will look over the shingles, tell you plainly whether a treatment makes sense, and price it so everyone can make up their own minds.
