<p>I don’t think getting a new roof- windows doors etc is getting a new home.
Roof is maintainance. Windows doors can be energy saving/safety related. In fact our utility company encourages and aids homeowners to improve their homes by upgrading windows and doors.
Same with siding- water prblems/rot can necessitate a lot of work.
We had to take out a home equity loan in order to free up equity that the school expected us to access, might as well do some work to make the house salable while we were at it.
I don’t know why people would complain about others upgrading their homes, doesn’t that increase the value of your own?</p>
