Don’t Replace — Rejuvenate.

How It Works

The Science Behind the Service

Asphalt shingles are saturated with oils during manufacturing — those oils keep shingles flexible and granules locked in. Heat, UV rays, and Pittsburgh weather bake those oils out over time. Rejuvenation replenishes them.

1
Thorough Inspection
We inspect every square foot of your roof, documenting granule loss, cracking, and overall shingle health to confirm you’re a candidate for rejuvenation.
2
Gentle Cleaning
We treat and remove algae, moss, and black streaks safely — without high-pressure washing that can blast away granules and void warranties.
3
Bio-Rejuvenator Application
Our USDA Bio-Preferred, 80% recycled-source rejuvenating treatment is sprayed evenly across all shingles, penetrating deep to restore oils and reseal granules to the asphalt base.
4
Absorption & Cure
The formula absorbs into the shingle mat over 24–48 hours, restoring pliability to brittle shingles and dramatically slowing granule loss and UV degradation.
5
Final Walkthrough
We walk the property with you, document the before-and-after condition, and provide your certificate of treatment for insurance and home sale records.

  • Requires significant financing or savings
  • Thousands of lbs of old shingles in landfill
  • Often unnecessary for roofs with 7–15 yrs left

Note: Replacement is the right call for roofs with structural damage, active leaks, or shingles under 25% of their lifespan. Our free inspection determines which solution is right for you.

Is Your Roof a Candidate?

Signs your roof would benefit from rejuvenation rather than replacement:

🖤
Black Streaks or Staining

Those dark streaks are algae colonies (Gloeocapsa magma) feeding on your shingles. Treatment removes them without damaging washes.

🪨
Granules in the Gutters

Finding granules in your gutters after rain? Your shingles are losing their UV-protective coating — rejuvenation re-seals them.

📅
Roof is 10–20 Years Old

The sweet spot for rejuvenation is roofs in the 10–20 year range with no structural damage. We add 10–15 more years of protection.

📋
Insurance Non-Renewal Notice

Insurance companies increasingly drop policies for aged-looking roofs. Rejuvenation restores appearance and can save your policy.

🌿
Moss or Lichen Growth

Moss and lichen trap moisture against your shingles and accelerate degradation. Treatment eliminates growth and prevents regrowth.

💵
Replacement Feels Too Soon

Your inspector says the roof has years left but it doesn’t look great? Rejuvenation is the cost-smart alternative to early replacement.
