Roof Shingle Treatment FAQs

Most asphalt roofs show some signs of drying out between 6 and 10 years of age, depending on region and intensity of the Sun’s UV rays. This would be an ideal time for us to apply our asphalt shingle treatment to extend the life of your roof.

When the shingles’ protective top layer of granule coating begins shedding off into the gutters. This coating functions as a sort of “sunscreen” for your shingles. The oil contained within the shingles is essential for maintaining this coating, but as it dries out, the shingles will start to become brittle and crack.

Black stains and streaking on the shingles is another sign that the roof is aging. Most roofs with staining are shedding the protective top coating to varying degrees. Note: Staining does not harm the roof and is only an aesthetic issue.

Yes. The products Roof Renew uses are Eco-friendly and 100% safe for people, pets, property, and the environment. It’s an all-natural food-grade product. Any overspray is rinsed away with a hose or rain.

Roof Renew proudly warrants that the treated asphalt shingles will perform as originally designed and warranted by the shingle manufacturer for a period of at least five (5) years from the date of your treatment.

The Roof Renew Warranty is still valid even if your manufacturer’s warranty is (or becomes) void due to time or transfer restrictions.

If under normal operating & weather conditions the treated shingles lose their proper operating flexibility, granular adhesion characteristics, or structural integrity or performance, Roof Renew will retreat all affected areas on a simple prorated basis (over 60-month warranty period).

This is not a warranty against leaks, including from faulty installation or other damage sustained by the roof (i.e., hail, high winds).

Temperature: It must be above 45 degrees for application.

Rain: Our asphalt shingle spray quickly penetrates the shingle’s top layer and begins penetrating in about one hour. There is no need for concern about it being washed away by the rain once it has been absorbed by the shingles.

The Roof Renew asphalt shingle spray will bring your shingles back closer to their original color. Most shingles lighten in color as the oil drys out. This natural oil resaturates your shingles, which helps to restore their color.
