The Hidden Upgrade That Adds Real Value: How High-Quality Roofing Underlayment Can Boost Property Worth
2025-05-27
In today’s competitive real estate market, more homeowners and investors are paying attention to "invisible upgrades" — improvements that may not be immediately visible but have a major impact on a home’s long-term value and performance. One of the most overlooked yet critical elements? The roofing underlayment beneath the shingles.
Experts at Mountain Bigfoot Barrier say that while underlayment doesn’t appear in listing photos, it plays a key role in the durability, waterproofing, and maintenance costs of the roof over time.
"A premium synthetic underlayment like Bigfoot Barrier not only delivers superior water resistance and tear strength, but it also significantly extends the lifespan of the entire roofing system," a company spokesperson explains. "For any potential buyer, that means peace of mind and reduced future repair expenses."
Compared to traditional felt, modern synthetic materials are more resistant to heat, moisture, and damage during installation. They also offer benefits like slip resistance, UV protection, and resistance to curling — reducing accident risks during installation and ensuring long-term performance.
Recent studies show that homes with high-performance roofing underlayment can sell for 5%–8% more than those with standard roofs. For buyers, a home with a "no-worry roof" is far more appealing.
