When it comes to roofing solutions, property owners who are dealing with old structures typically take the traditional route of replacing their roofs. However, a paradigm change known as “roof rejuvenation” is bringing in a new era of roofing innovation. The days of only choosing replacement are long gone; today, rejuvenation becomes a strong substitute. This method, which embraces the saying”out with the old and in with the new,” gives existing roofs new life and revitalization. Property owners can minimize their impact on the environment, increase durability, save money, and prolong the lifespan of their roofs through roof rejuvenation.
Isn’t it better to have a new roof?
This is a question we encounter much too frequently, and the most likely response is no. It’s funny that materials made now are not built with the same quality of materials they are tearing off and throwing in the trash, but that’s how the roofing industry gets its reputation—”rip it off and replace it.” If your car’s auto mechanic informed you that your car’s engine needed to be completely replaced because the oil was old, how would you respond?
They would be laughed out of the door by you and the insurance company. The same is becoming more and more accurate every day as insurance providers and property owners gain a better understanding of how an asphalt shingle actually functions. Rejuvenating your roof is like changing the oil in your car. Your roof’s lifetime depends on the asphalt in your shingles’ ability to expand and retract, which requires lubricants to stay flexible. The solution is to refuse to let a roofing firm take a chance with your homeowner’s insurance coverage. Why would you switch from your current, superior product to a subpar one?
Isn’t Roof Replacement Simple?
No, it’s not even close! Allowing a roofer to convince you to phone your insurance provider on your behalf is another typical mistake. The majority of roofers and roofing firms have a warm demeanor, which makes the procedure seem simple! Be it with the old song and dance about how they know the insurance system so well, or claims to be the “most trusted” or “number one ranked.” We are here to alert you to the fact that you are placing yourself at danger if the individual negotiating your claim over the phone with your insurance company is not a licensed public adjuster.
We believe that taking a chance on your homeowner’s insurance coverage being canceled is not worth it. All of that to say, replacing a roof is not a cost-effective decision; rather, it is an incentive to make an insurance claim. It’s undoubtedly inefficient and unfriendly to the environment. We are aware that in some situations replacing your roof or making a claim is the best course of action, but most of the time rejuvenation is the superior choice!

Treatment Process
Treatment is straightforward. We begin by offering our roof maintenance package. One step in this process is to install new rubber rain collars around your plumbing vents to stop leaks. Any roofing flashing that may require it should be recapped. Removing any “nail pops,” or nails that have backed out of the roof, and caulking those areas with silicone. While we are up there, we may take care of any more minor roof maintenance.
Next, we will remove any debris from your roof using a blower and prepare the roof for the treatment. After the completion of all the preparation and tune-up work, your treatment will begin. Treatment often lasts an hour or so, depending on the size of your roof. We use light pressure when administering the rejuvenation therapy. The product then begins to seep into the shingle layer of asphalt, revitalizing your roof. You will notice a noticeable improvement in your shingle’s performance within thirty minutes after treatment. Your roof will function nearly as well as the day it was installed 72 hours after application.
Conclusion
Roof replacement has long been the default choice for property owners facing aging structures, but a new wave of innovation called “roof rejuvenation” is reshaping the roofing landscape. This method breathes new life into existing roofs, offering a host of benefits from environmental consciousness to cost savings and enhanced durability. Comparatively, the question of opting for a new roof versus rejuvenation often arises. Consider this: would you replace your car’s engine due to old oil? The analogy is apt—rejuvenating your roof is akin to changing the oil in your car, maintaining its longevity and functionality. Plus, it’s a far simpler and more cost-effective process than full replacement.
