You can claim your house here and then update your home facts  here. It is quick and easy. Although you will see the change right away in your facts it may take a few updates for the new numbers to work into the system. you can include value for your remodel by creating an owners estimate, but the real value of those improvements will be decided by your buyer when you sell your house. Hope the links are helpful.

A new roof is just maintenance, and while a bad roof can break a deal a new roof does not add value to the house.
In addition, while kitchen remodels do add value, these days if your pay back is 50 cents on the dollar you are very lucky.
How does Zillow know you made these changes?

Zillow is a computer program. It uses an algorithm to figure out value. The computer does not take into consideration the amenities and condition of the home. It only takes into consideration the numbers like sqft size and age.

I think consumers are savvy enough to know that Zestimates are far from exact and your improvements will speak for themselves. But there is never a one-to-one addition to value from renovations and, as Colleen said, this is a downward market.

Zillow does not take into consideration many of the items needed to properly value a home. I would suggest talking with an agent about the current value.
It is possible that you overbuilt for your neighborhood. If this is the case you will not recoup the money invested. Add to that the declining market and the current value may be hard to swallow.
