What are the Benefits of Roof Rejuvenation?

Before and after the Roof Shield process. The results speak for themselves.

Roof rejuvenation is an innovative process that has transformed the roofing industry. It extends the lifespan of your roof by restoring it to its performance to its original condition. Thus saving you the huge costs associated with a roof replacement. One of the leading technologies in roof rejuvenation is Roof Shield, a process that cleans and restores aging asphalt shingles using a proprietary asphalt shingle rejuvenator named Roof Reboot. Here, we delve deeper into the world of roof rejuvenation and its numerous benefits.

The Importance of Roof Rejuvenation

Roofs, just like any other part of your home, wear out over time. Exposure to the elements, temperature fluctuations, and the simple passage of time cause asphalt shingles to lose their pliability and become brittle. This makes them more susceptible to damage from storms and changes in temperature. Shingles also lose granules, the protective top layer that provides resistance to damage. As the granules are lost, the shingle’s ability to resist weathering decreases significantly. Additionally, aging shingles allow more moisture to permeate, leading to an increased risk of leaks and water damage.

Rejuvenation addresses all these issues, extending the life of your roof and enhancing its performance and appearance.

Roof Shield and Roof Reboot: The Next Level of Roof Rejuvenation

Roof Shield is a leader in the roof rejuvenation process, employing a two-step method to clean and restore old and aging asphalt shingles. The first step involves cleaning the roof using a gentle soft washing process that removes streaking, mold, and algae. The next step is the restoration process with Roof Reboot, a proprietary asphalt shingle roof rejuvenator manufactured by Roof Shield.

Roof Reboot has been lab-tested to restore the performance of a 15-year-old shingle back to that of a new shingle. When absorbed into the shingles, it revitalizes them from the inside out, providing a series of vital benefits:

  1. Restoring the shingle’s pliability: As shingles age, they dry out and become brittle, making them more vulnerable to damage from storms and thermal changes. Roof Reboot restores the shingles’ pliability, reducing their vulnerability to these elements.
  2. Preventing granule loss: The granules are the top layer of the shingle, and as they are lost, the shingle’s resistance to damage decreases. Roof Reboot stops granule loss, maintaining the shingle’s durability.
  3. Improving impact resistance: After the shingles regain their pliability and granule adhesion, they become less likely to sustain damage from hail and strong storms.
  4. Restoring vapor resistance: Vapor resistance is the measure of how much moisture a shingle will let through. Roof Reboot changes an aging shingle’s rating from semi-permeable to impermeable, preventing moisture penetration and potential water damage.
  5. Enhancing color: Dry shingles absorb Roof Reboot, resulting in a dramatic change in shingle color. This makes the roof look years younger and improves the building’s curb appeal.
The Wider Benefits of Roof Rejuvenation

Beyond the immediate improvements to your roof’s performance and aesthetics, roof rejuvenation also comes with a slew of broader benefits.

Firstly, it’s cost-effective. Rejuvenating your roof can significantly extend its lifespan, thus delaying the costly prospect of a total roof replacement. It’s an investment that more than pays for itself in the long run.

Secondly, roof rejuvenation contributes to sustainability. By extending the life of your current roof, you’re preventing waste from old shingles that would otherwise end up in landfills.

Lastly, a rejuvenated roof can increase the value of your home. A roof in good condition is a major selling point if you put your property on the market. Not only does it enhance the visual appeal, but it also gives potential buyers peace of mind knowing that they won’t have to deal with a failing roof anytime soon.

Roof Shield has taken roof rejuvenation, repair, and restoration to new heights. As the manufacturer and exclusive distributor of Roof Reboot, Roof Shield has integrated a comprehensive suite of cleaning solutions into their ‘Clean-Restore-Protect’ program to provide homeowners with the best possible results each time.

Roof Rejuvenation vs. Replacement: Extend Your Roof’s Lifespan

Don't replace your roof, restore it with Roof Shield and save thousands.

A well-maintained roof is vital for the safety and efficiency of your home. When faced with an aging or damaged roof, homeowners often consider a complete replacement, which is both expensive and disruptive. However, there’s an alternative that is growing in popularity—roof rejuvenation. In this blog post, we will discuss the differences between roof rejuvenation and replacement and how rejuvenation can help extend the life of your roof.

Roof Rejuvenation: A Cost-Effective and Sustainable Solution

Roof rejuvenation is the process of restoring your existing roof by addressing any minor issues or damage and then applying a shingle rejuvenation product to restore the shingle’s performance. Compared to a full roof replacement, this restoration saves homeowners thousands and minimizes disruptions. Here are the key benefits of roof rejuvenation:

  1. Cost-effective: Roof rejuvenation is substantially less expensive than replacement. By focusing on repairing and restoring the existing roof, you can significantly reduce the overall cost and avoid the expense of a complete replacement.
  2. Environmentally friendly: Roof rejuvenation is a sustainable choice, as it extends the life of your current roof and reduces waste. By postponing the need for a new roof, you conserve resources and contribute positively to the environment. (Visualizing Waste: How Many Tons of Asphalt Shingles End Up in Landfills Annually? – Roof Shield)
  3. Shorter project duration: Roof rejuvenation is completed quickly. Most roofs take a few hours, minimizing any inconvenience to your daily life. In contrast, a full roof replacement is time-consuming and disruptive.
  4. Enhanced protection: Roof Shield uses the asphalt shingle rejuvenator, Roof Reboot, that restores the performance of a 15-year-old shingle back to the performance of a brand-new shingle. By fortifying the roof with Roof Reboot, your home is protected from the elements, and the roof’s lifespan is extended. (What is Roof Shield? Unveiling the Protection Your Home Needs – Roof Shield)
  5. Improved curb appeal: A rejuvenated roof can boost the aesthetic appeal of your home, making it look well-maintained and attractive to potential buyers. This enhancement can increase your property value and make your home stand out in the neighborhood.

Roof rejuvenation is an excellent option for any asphalt shingle roof that is not in complete failure. By rejuvenating and restoring before failure, you can extend the life of your roof and avoid the need for a costly replacement down the line.

Roof Replacement: Necessary but Disruptive

However, if a roof is at failure, whether through damage or age, it is time for a replacement. Roof replacement involves removing the old roofing material and installing a new roof. While it can be expensive and time-consuming, there are instances where it is the most appropriate choice:

  1. Extensive damage: If your roof has suffered significant damage from weather, pests, or age, a replacement may be the only viable solution. Your Roof Shield applicator will assess the roof, and a replacement will be recommended if it is beyond the rejuvenation point.
  2. Near the end of its lifespan: If your roof is nearing the end of its lifespan and shows severe signs of age, rejuvenation may not be as effective or practical. In this case, a replacement can provide long-term protection and peace of mind.
When to Consider Roof Rejuvenation

The decision between roof rejuvenation and replacement depends on several factors, including the roof’s condition, budget, and age. By carefully considering these factors and consulting with a roof rejuvenation contractor, you can make the best decision for your home. Roof rejuvenation is a cost-effective and sustainable alternative to replacement that can extend your roof’s life while enhancing your home’s protection. It is certainly an option worth considering before committing to a full roof replacement. And with Roof Shield’s ‘Clean-Restore-Protect’ program, your rejuvenated roof will save you money, extend its life, and restore the roof’s curb appeal in the process.

The Importance of ASTM Testing?

The ASTM logo

In a previous post, I answered the question, What is ASTM Testing? And in that post, I also share some of the tests used to validate product performance in the roof rejuvenation space. But I noticed that the post didn’t dive deep enough. As I interact with more contractors and clients nationwide, I find the topic of ASTM testing warrants greater understanding. We will start with a little background.

What is ASTM Testing?

ASTM International is the American Society for Testing and Materials. A globally recognized organization that develops and publishes standards for a wide range of materials, products, systems, and services. These standards serve as guidelines and benchmarks for quality, performance, and safety across various industries, including the roofing sector. The credibility of ASTM standards stems from their rigorous development process, which involves the input of industry experts and stakeholders from around the world.

ASTM testing methods certify shingles throughout the United States. This means that GAF, Tamko, Atlas, etc… determine the performance of their shingles through the testing methods developed by ASTM. As a result, when testing roof rejuvenation products, ASTM testing is the only valid methodology.

What ASTM Testing Provides?

By standardizing methods across the roof restoration industry, ASTM provides:

  1. Quality Assurance – ASTM standards provide strict guidelines to ensure quality, setting minimum requirements for product performance. These guidelines act as a quality control mechanism, enabling manufacturers to produce high-quality products that meet consumers’ expectations consistently.
  2. Performance Comparison – ASTM testing allows for an objective comparison between various roof rejuvenation products. By testing all products against the same set of standards, consumers can make informed decisions based on a product’s performance in specific areas, such as water resistance, UV protection, and longevity. This uniform approach to testing and evaluation ensures that consumers can easily compare products to find the best fit for their needs.
  3. Industry Benchmarking – ASTM standards serve as a benchmark for the entire industry, helping roofing professionals, contractors, and consumers evaluate various products’ quality and performance. Providing a clear and uniform set of guidelines, ASTM standards create a level playing field for manufacturers. Holding all products to the same high quality and performance standards.
  4. Certification – Compliance with ASTM standards is a mark of quality by industry professionals, including building inspectors, architects, and contractors.
Are other testing methods valid?

In short … not really. There are countless anecdotal tests. But the reality is that roof rejuvenation products need to be tested by scientific and repeatable methods.

This is important to remember when comparing products. Roof rejuvenation is an emerging market. Most of the established brands are ASTM-tested and work to varying degrees. But there are a growing number of startups that aren’t ASTM certified.

If you are a homeowner looking to rejuvenate your roof, or a contractor, looking to offer roof rejuvenation services to your clients, make sure to ask about the ASTM testing. You can easily sort the offerings on the market with that one simple question.

Conclusion

Consumers have confidence in their choice by selecting ASTM-tested products. Knowing that they are investing in a solution that has been rigorously evaluated and validated by an independent body. This adherence to industry standards not only guarantees a high-quality product but also contributes to the continued growth and innovation within the roof rejuvenation market, resulting in more effective and environmentally friendly solutions for maintaining and extending the life of our roofs.
