Deal with the roof once you have a buyer and if it becomes an issue then. In the meantime make certain your house is very presentable, clutter free and clean, and don't forget the exterior curb appeal.

Hi Rosa, if it's not leaking don't fix it. Get 2 different estimates in writing. Wait to see what the buyer's inspector says- if the buyer asks for something off- have them give you a price-start with offering them half of what they ask for. (Meet them half way) Terry K 718-614-3167 cell

In order to secure the sale the roof must be free of leaks, so if there are none you are ok. depending on the condition it could negatively impact the sale. You should do the due dilligence and get estimates as during a home inspection it will most probably come up. Depending on the cost , you may want to do the work as it will impact the offer. Hope this helped

its ahrd to find a good roofer, contractor for that matter. i would wait til i find someone first whos likes the house., and deal with that later.never know your buyer might be a roofer or handy person and even determine that the whole roof doesnt need to be replaced.

Rosa, I concur with my collegues. I live in Flushing about 15 min from South Ozone Park.

In NY, you are required to deliver a roof that doesn't leak. That's it. What is the condition of the rest of the house? Are you updated and staged everywhere else?

I would get some estimates and put them aside. Get a buyer and have their PE inspect the premises. If the roof becomes an issue, you can think about negotiating at that time. Don't spend the money until it becomes an issue. That's my opinion.

I would discuss the return on your investment (roof replacement) with a realtor. Buyers often overestimate what costs will be to repair/replace a given item and figure this in to an offer. You may in fact get a better offer with a new roof. Costs really depend on the square footage of the roof, specific shingle type chosen, and whether any plywood under the shingles needs to be replaced. Getting estimates from roofing contractors will be you best guage.
