Roof Rejuvenation

What is roof rejuvenation, and how does it differ from traditional roof replacement?

Roof rejuvenation involves applying a specialized treatment to restore the flexibility and durability of aging shingles, extending the roof's life. It differs from replacement, which involves completely removing and installing a new roof.

What types of roofs are suitable for rejuvenation treatments?

Asphalt shingle roofs are ideal candidates for rejuvenation treatments, especially if they are structurally sound but showing signs of aging or wear.

How long does a roof rejuvenation treatment last?

A roof rejuvenation treatment typically lasts around 5 years, after which the treatment can be reapplied to further extend the roof's lifespan.

Benefits include cost savings, extended roof life, improved shingle flexibility and waterproofing, and reduced environmental impact since it avoids the waste associated with roof replacement.

Can roof rejuvenation help with energy efficiency?

Yes, rejuvenation can enhance the reflectivity of the shingles, helping to reduce heat absorption and improve the overall energy efficiency of your home.

How do I know if my roof is a good candidate for rejuvenation?

If your roof is 5-15 years old, showing signs of wear such as minor granule loss or fading, but is otherwise in good structural condition, it may be a good candidate for rejuvenation. A professional inspection can confirm suitability.

Is roof rejuvenation a cost-effective solution compared to replacement?
