Did you recently inspect your roof, and it doesn't appear as shiny or visually appealing as it was after installation? After shielding you from the scorching sun, the strong winds, and the cold months, your roof could begin to deteriorate. The deterioration gets visible when the glossy appearance caused by the oil on the roofing starts to dry up. So, how do you restore the glory of your roof? Do you replace or rejuvenate?

Why You Should Consider Rejuvenating

Most homeowners think roof solutions narrow down to two options—repairs or replacement. However, there is a third option: rejuvenation. Rejuvenation helps with:

Rejuvenating Your Shingles

There are rejuvenating products, primarily sprays, that a roofer will use. The products will soak into the shingles and replace the lost petrochemicals. It works immediately and restores the glossy appearance.

The spray and rejuvenating products are waterproof. So, they make your roof appear shiny and new. The spray also helps keep the granules in place and makes your roof more resistant to blunt force impact.

Functionality

Applying rejuvenating products will make your roof more flexible. Therefore, the roof can handle extreme impact from hailstones, branches, or other objects which might fall on the roof. Roof rejuvenating solutions work by replacing the oils needed by shingles to keep them sturdy and resilient. So, it helps your roof remain durable despite the weather or usage.

Durability

Most roofs offer several decades of service. However, once the volatile petrochemicals on the roof begin to deplete, the roof becomes weak. It can barely withstand wind uplift and other forms of impact. Applying rejuvenating products extends the durability of your roof. Additionally, it is cost-effective as it helps you avoid unnecessary replacements.

What Happens During Rejuvenation?

When you seek roof rejuvenation services, the roofers will follow this three-step process:

Inspection: The first step is to inspect the roof to see if there is any damage and how extensive it is. Then, they prepare the roof for rejuvenation and set up their working equipment on the roof.

Application: Once the roof is prepared and ready for spraying, the roofers will begin applying the spray. It can take a few hours, depending on the number of applicants and roof size.

Completion: After spraying, your roof will become shiny and highly functional. A rejuvenation will add durability, making your roof sturdy enough to withstand windy conditions.

Roof rejuvenation products should be professionally applied. You need a single application to rejuvenate your old roof, restore its functionality, and extend its durability.
