Yes, you can add the additional money expended on the roof to the basis of the home even though you sold it soon afterwards. There used to be a caption entitled "fixing up expenses" to prepare for a sale that allowed you to deduct that amount from the sales proceeds but adding to the basis would be the better way to handle it.
