A patented restoration process can prolong the life of asphalt shingles. This process helps keep granules in the shingles, which prevents them from leaking. Additionally, the restoration process helps protect the shingles from damage and helps prevent granules from winding up in gutters and on the edges of shingles. Certified technicians can determine if your roof is a candidate for the restoration service.
Greener Shingles
Greener Shingles are a revolutionary new system for restoring and rejuvenating asphalt shingles. Unlike traditional sealants that work only on the surface of shingles, Greener Shingles work in the deepest layers of shingles to repair existing damage and protect against further damage. They are formulated to penetrate all five shingles layers, including the granular layer. They are made from concentrated oils that have been field-tested in thousands of homes throughout North America.
Greener Shingles will change color over time, darkening to the original color after a couple of years but eventually returning to their original color. This process is faster and less expensive than other roof treatments, like sealants, which only make the shingles lighter or more translucent. This process is less expensive and requires less labor, but it eliminates the opportunity to examine the sheathing underneath the shingles for water damage. However, it may not be an option for all homes, and it is possible to add cool-roof shingles if you tear off the old roof.
Shingles must be flexible enough to withstand changing temperatures and prevent cracking and leaks. But as they age, they become less flexible and water-resistant. A sudden fall from a tree could cause the shingles to break. To remedy this problem, Greener Shingles restore the flexibility of the shingles, and they are more water-resistant.
Choosing a new roof is a significant purchase for a home, so homeowners should take the time to research their options and decide. After all, a new roof will boost the house’s overall appeal. Darker roofs also complement different types of siding, including brick or cream-colored siding. Similarly, asphalt shingles with minimal color variation will not compete with masonry.
Roof Maxx
Using Roof Maxx will restore the flexibility and waterproof protection of your shingles. This product replaces the oils lost in the shingles over time. Once applied, the shingles will regain their complete flexibility within 72 hours. This solution is safe to use around your home and won’t damage other building materials.
As asphalt shingles age, they lose their essential oils and flexibility, leading to cracking and leaks. Applying Roof Maxx to your shingles will prevent your roof from needing to be replaced. Plus, the soy-based formula will give your shingles a complimentary roof tune-up, saving you the money and hassle of getting a new roof.
A Hollister Roofing service provider can apply Roof Max to your roof and provide roof rejuvenation. Roof Maxx works by penetrating the asphalt shingles with its plant-based oil. A complete roof replacement is expensive and disrupts your daily routine, so a roof rejuvenation is a more affordable alternative.
Roof Maxx restores the flexibility of old asphalt shingles and can reduce hail damage by up to 24 percent. The solution is applied to the shingles by highly skilled roofing technicians and soaks into them. It can provide 20 years of reliable service to your roof.
The treatment penetrates the core of asphalt shingles and replaces the dried-out petrochemical oil with a plant-based formula. The resulting oil restores the original saturation levels of shingles and provides waterproofing and flexibility. The treatment is cost-effective and guarantees an additional five years of lifespan.
Roof Rejuvenation
Asphalt shingles are susceptible to weathering and deterioration, but with the proper treatment, they can be restored to like new. Roof rejuvenation companies use an all-natural formula derived from soybean oil to restore deteriorated shingles to their former glory. The solution penetrates the shingles’ top granule coating and prevents further deterioration.
The patented chemistry of the Greener Shingles formula stretches across the roof to repair the damage. It restores the structural integrity of the shingles and creates a membrane that covers the entire roof. The product contains concentrated oils that repair damaged areas and prevent further damage. It has been field-tested on thousands of homes across North America.
Roof rejuvenation is a process that reapplies plant-based oils and polymers to the asphalt shingles. This increases the roof’s lifespan by at least 10-15 years. As a result, the process reduces the need for a complete roof replacement.
Asphalt shingles naturally lose their natural oil, which holds the granules together. The granules can become loose and break off, damaging the gutter and downspout. A solution like Roof Maxx can revitalize these shingles and prolong their lifespan by up to five years.
Roof Maxx warranty
With a five-year transferable warranty, Roof Maxx extends the life of a roof by up to 15 years. This simple spray-on treatment can save homeowners from costly roof replacements. Moreover, it’s safe for your home and family. The process also lets you delay roof replacement for years, saving you a lot of money.
Roof Maxx restores natural oils that make asphalt shingles flexible and pliable. These oils help the shingles resist extreme weather conditions. With age, asphalt shingles lose these oils and become brittle. The procedure can help prevent costly roof replacements and save you money by reducing your home’s energy bills. Typical asphalt roofs last about 20-30 years but can break down sooner, depending on the climate. If you’re worried about your roof’s longevity, contact your local dealer for a consultation.
Having a faulty roof can cause massive damage to your home. Fortunately, Roof Maxx offers a warranty for this roof rejuvenation and asphalt shingle restoration work. This is a valuable benefit to homeowners, as it eliminates the need for expensive replacement and offers the same protection as new roofs.
The rising cost of asphalt has forced manufacturers to reduce the amount of asphalt used in shingles, which shortens their lifespan. Roof Maxx uses 100% natural, eco-friendly products to restore asphalt shingles and extend their life. Using Roof Maxx will extend the life of your roof by up to fifteen years.
Repairing a shingle
If you are replacing a shingle on your roof, you must have all the tools you need at hand. Those tools include a hammer, pry bar, utility knife, roofing nails, and replacement shingles. To install the new shingle, you need to remove the damaged one first. Then, you must insert the pry bar between the damaged shingle and the existing shingle in good condition. You must be careful not to tear the excellent shingle.
To remove the damaged shingle, first, remove the nails holding it to the roof deck. Then, lift it. Be careful not to lift the shingle alone, as it will destroy it. You can then use the utility knife to round the upper edges of the new shingle and then secure it to the roof with roofing cement. The new shingle should fit beneath the old shingle in the row above it, and the bottom part should align with the shingles on either side.
Sometimes, a missing shingle will cause a leak in your roof. If this happens, you may need to replace the entire shingle. However, if you already have some shingles from previous roof work, buying a bundle of shingles may be cheaper. They cost $15 to $20 per square foot, and you can get them at lumberyards or home centers.
Repairing a shingle on a roof may be daunting, but it is usually relatively easy to do. Some shingles will need reattaching with asphalt roof cement or another roofing compound. You can buy some non-matching shingles and use them as a temporary fix for the rest. Alternatively, you can make a temporary patch with sheet aluminum or copper.
