When a homeowner takes on a large home improvement project, they are generally doing it for their own benefit and enjoyment. And although they may anticipate the project will greatly increase the value of the home, most projects only add a small portion to the total.

A roof replacement is an expensive project that homeowners often put off, or try to get away with not doing at all. But the results of the Remodeling Impact Report show that 32 percent of real estate agents said a new roof recently helped them cinch a deal for them.

The average cost of a new roof comes in at $7,600, and the boost to value resulting from the new roof comes in even higher: at 105% of the original investment.

Replacing a roof pays dividends indirectly as well — pushing too far past the life expectancy of an existing one can result in leaks that can drip down the inside the walls, leading to the need to cut out drywall and replace flooring. In this way, even a small leak can end up costing a homeowner $20,000 or more.

New roofing was also named in the report as the exterior project that most appeals to buyers, followed by new vinyl windows, a new garage door and new vinyl siding.
