Roof rejuvenation is a maintenance treatment applied to an existing asphalt shingle roof. It is intended to address the drying and stiffening that happens as shingles age, helping the shingles retain flexibility. It is not a repair method, a coating, or a replacement for structural roofing work.
A coating adds a new surface layer on top of the roof and changes its appearance and weight. Rejuvenation is absorbed into the existing shingle rather than forming a separate film over it, and it does not change the roof to a coated system.
Most single-family asphalt roofs in our service area are treated in a single visit, typically a few hours, after the roof and property are prepared. Larger or more complex roofs may take longer.
No. Rejuvenation is only appropriate for asphalt shingle roofs that are aging but still structurally sound. Roofs with rotting decking, structural damage, major active leaks, widespread missing shingles, or severe deterioration are not candidates.
Age alone does not decide it — condition does. Roofs in roughly the 8–20 year range are the most common candidates, but a well-ventilated 22-year-old roof can be in better shape than a poorly ventilated 14-year-old one. We assess the shingles rather than the install date.
Sometimes. If the shingles are intact, the mat is not exposed across the field, the decking is sound and there are no major leaks, a 20-year-old asphalt roof can be a candidate. If the shingles are already cracking through or shedding heavily, it usually is not.
No. Rejuvenation is not a leak repair. Active leaks indicate a failure at the shingle, flashing, or decking level and need repair or replacement first. If a leak is found during assessment, we will tell you that before discussing treatment.
No. Missing shingles need to be replaced by a roofer. A small number of replacements can sometimes be handled before treatment; widespread missing shingles usually mean the roof is past the point where rejuvenation makes sense.
A free assessment tells you which of the three paths fits your roof — including when rejuvenation is not appropriate.
