Question 1

When is the right time to treat my asphalt shingles?

Accepted Answer

In Calgary, asphalt roofs typically start showing signs of drying out and losing flexibility between 8 and 12 years of age, depending on sun exposure and weather conditions.

Question 2

How can I tell if my roof is drying out?

Accepted Answer

The most common sign is finding granules washing into your gutters or at the bottom of your downspouts. You might also notice the roof looking faded or patchy.

Question 3

Is the rejuvenation treatment safe for my property?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Roof Shield YYC uses a USDA-certified bio-based product that is safe for people, pets, plants, and the environment. It is non-toxic, and any accidental overspray can simply be rinsed away with a garden hose.

Question 4

How does the 5-year warranty work?

Accepted Answer

We provide a 5-year transferable warranty for qualifying roofs, guaranteeing that treated shingles will retain their restored flexibility and granule adhesion under normal weather conditions for five years.

Question 5

What weather conditions are needed for application?

Accepted Answer

We need the temperature to be above 5°C. The treatment absorbs very quickly—usually within 45 to 60 minutes. Once it has penetrated the shingles, normal rain will not wash it away.

Question 6

Will the treatment change how my roof looks?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it typically restores the shingles closer to their original, richer color. Replenishing the oils brings back a darker, newer aesthetic.

Question 7

What do insurance companies think about roof rejuvenation?

Accepted Answer

Most insurance providers appreciate proactive maintenance. By restoring the shingle's flexibility and ability to hold granules, the roof performs like a much newer system, reducing the likelihood of claims.

Question 8

Does this work on all types of roofs?

Accepted Answer

No, our treatment is specifically formulated for asphalt shingle roofs. It is not designed for cedar shake, metal, tile, or flat membrane roofing systems.

Question 9

How long does the actual process take?

Accepted Answer

The application itself is very fast—usually completed in just 1 to 2 hours for a standard residential home. There is no messy tear-off or loud construction noise.

Question 10

What if my roof has moss or algae on it?

Accepted Answer

We recommend cleaning heavy moss before treatment. The bio-based oils naturally smother existing moss and algae, making it hard for them to survive or regrow.

Question 11

How many years will this add to my roof?

Accepted Answer

A single application typically adds 5 years of functional life to the roof. The treatment can be repeated up to three times, potentially extending your roof's life by up to 15 years.
