Roof Revival FAQ
Straight answers, including the ones where the answer is no.
What is a roof revival?+
A treatment sprayed on an asphalt shingle roof to restore the oils the sun and heat have dried out, so shingles stay flexible longer.
Is it a replacement?+
No. It is a way to get more life from a roof that is aging but still sound, and put off the cost of replacing it.
How long does it take?+
Most homes take a day or less on site, plus dry time.
How long does it last?+
It depends on your roof's age, condition and exposure. Ask for evidence relevant to your roof and the specific treatment. There is no single lifespan estimate that applies to every roof.
Does it fix leaks?+
No. Active leaks need repair first, and roofs with leaks may not be candidates.
What does it cost?+
Pricing depends on roof size, pitch and how much cleaning is needed. It is usually a fraction of a replacement. Compare written estimates that explain the scope and any repair needs.
Does it change how my roof looks?+
The cleaning step removes moss and streaks, so most roofs look noticeably cleaner. The roof keeps its existing shingle color.
What does the weather need to be?+
Dry conditions are generally needed. Follow the specific product’s application and drying requirements.
Will it affect my shingle warranty or homeowners insurance?+
Policies vary. Ask your shingle manufacturer and your insurance company, before agreeing to a treatment.
What if treatment is not suitable?+
Depending on the issue, repairs or replacement may be more appropriate. Ask for the inspection findings and a clear explanation of each option.
How do I choose a roofing professional?+
Check licensing and insurance requirements in your area, ask for a written assessment and scope, and compare options without relying on a treatment promise alone.
