Is my roof too old to save?
Is your roof too old to save? Its age matters less than its condition. A roof is worth treating if the shingles have dried out but are still intact, and not worth treating once they are damaged or worn through.
We are based in Deer Park, we only do rejuvenation, and we turn down roofs that will not respond. The assessment tells you which kind you have.
Tired is treatable. Broken is not.
Gulf Coast heat and UV dry the oils out of a shingle long before it wears through. A dried-out shingle goes stiff, cracks when the roof moves, and sheds granules. That stage is what the treatment is for.
Signs your roof may still be a candidate
- Granules in the gutters or at the downspouts
- Shingles that look faded, tired, or stiff
- Nothing leaking, nothing missing
Storm or hail damage
Bruised, split, or stripped shingles are physical damage. Nothing sprayed on a roof repairs that.
An active leak
Water in the house means something is open. Get it fixed first. This is preventative, not a patch.
Shingles past recovery
Past a certain point a shingle has lost too much to come back. Then you are saving for a new roof.
If your roof is in one of those three, we will tell you at the roof and give you the name of a roofer who does replacements.
The window closes before the leak
Most people wait for a leak before they do anything about a roof. For this, that is backwards. The treatment needs a shingle with enough left in it to respond, so the right time is while the roof looks tired and nothing has gone wrong yet.
That deadline is set by your shingles, not by us. There is no offer expiring. Most roofs cost $1,000 to $2,000 to treat; here is how that is worked out.
