Question 1

How do I know if my shingles need rejuvenation?

Accepted Answer

Your shingles may be a good candidate for rejuvenation if your roof is aging but still structurally sound.Common signs include:Shingles look dry, faded, or brittleGranules are collecting in gutters or around downspoutsThe roof is losing its original color or textureShingles are beginning to show early surface wearThe roof is older but not actively leakingShingles are still lying mostly flat without severe curlingThe roof has not reached the point where replacement is clearly requiredRoof Rejuvenate is designed for asphalt shingle roofs that are drying out and losing flexibility, but are still in serviceable condition. It is not meant for roofs with major leaks, severe curling, missing shingles, structural damage, or advanced deterioration.The best way to know is to have an authorized dealer inspect the roof. They can determine whether the shingles are a good candidate for rejuvenation or whether repair or replacement is the better option.

Question 2

Is Roof Rejuvenate safe?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Roof Rejuvenate is designed to be safely applied by trained authorized dealers using proper equipment, application procedures, and roof safety practices.Roof Rejuvenate is a 95% USDA Certified Bio-Based asphalt shingle rejuvenation treatment and does not contain PFAS, commonly known as “forever chemicals.” It is not a coating, paint, or sealant, and it is designed to penetrate asphalt shingles rather than sit on top of the roof surface.During application, dealers follow proper preparation and protection steps for the roof, gutters, landscaping, walkways, and surrounding property areas. As with any roof service, the roof should be inspected first to confirm it is a good candidate and to identify any repairs or safety concerns before treatment.Roof Rejuvenate is safe when used as directed by trained professionals and applied to qualifying asphalt shingle roofs.

Question 3

How much does it cost?

Accepted Answer

Shingle rejuvenation costs on average around 15% - 20%of the cost of replacement. 
The average cost of roof replacement in 2020 was $10,000 compared to only $1,500 to rejuvenate. 
A certified Roof Rejuvenate dealer will asses your roofs condition and qualify it for the rejuvenation process. Based on the size, pitch, access and condition of the roof an estimate will be provided.

Question 4

What if I have solar or may get it soon?

Accepted Answer

Roof Rejuvenate can be a strong fit for homeowners with solar panels or those planning to install solar soon.Before solar panels are installed, the roof is usually inspected to make sure it is in good enough condition to support the system for years. If the shingles are aging but still serviceable, rejuvenation may help restore flexibility, improve granule adhesion, and extend the usable life of the roof before panels are added.This can be especially valuable because once solar panels are installed, roof replacement becomes more expensive and complicated. Panels may need to be removed and reinstalled before roofing work can be completed.For homes that already have solar, an authorized dealer can inspect the roof and determine whether the exposed asphalt shingles can be treated safely around the system. The goal is to help preserve the roof and reduce unnecessary future disruption.If you are considering solar, it is smart to evaluate the roof first. A roof rejuvenation treatment may help you get more life from your existing shingles before committing to a solar installation.

Question 5

What’s the difference between this and soft washing with SH?

Accepted Answer

Soft washing with SH, or sodium hypochlorite, is a roof cleaning process. It is commonly used to kill and remove organic growth such as algae, moss, mildew, and staining from the surface of a roof.Roof Rejuvenate is a shingle rejuvenation treatment, not a cleaner. It is designed to penetrate aging asphalt shingles and help restore flexibility, improve granule adhesion, and extend the usable life of qualifying asphalt shingle roofs.The easiest way to understand the difference is this:Soft washing cleans the outside of the shingle. Roof Rejuvenate treats the shingle itself.A roof may need to be cleaned before rejuvenation if it has heavy organic growth or debris, but cleaning alone does not restore oils, flexibility, or granule adhesion to aging asphalt shingles.Both services can have a place in roof maintenance, but they solve different problems. Soft washing addresses appearance and organic growth. Roof Rejuvenate addresses aging asphalt shingles that are drying out and losing performance.

Question 6

Will roof rejuvenation void the original shingle manufacturer warranty?

Accepted Answer

It depends on the shingle manufacturer, the age of the roof, the warranty terms, and the condition of the shingles.Many asphalt shingle roofs being considered for rejuvenation are already outside their original full-coverage warranty period, or the warranty may already be limited, prorated, or affected by normal aging, ventilation, installation conditions, storm damage, or maintenance history.Roof Rejuvenate is not a coating, paint, or sealant. It is a penetrating asphalt shingle rejuvenation treatment designed to help restore flexibility and improve granule adhesion in qualifying shingles. However, every manufacturer has its own warranty language, and homeowners should review their specific shingle warranty if they are concerned about coverage.Roof Rejuvenate provides its own 5-year, non-prorated, transferable product warranty. That warranty is separate from the original shingle manufacturer warranty and is designed to give homeowners confidence after treatment.The best answer is: check the original shingle warranty, confirm the roof’s current warranty status, and have an authorized Roof Rejuvenate dealer evaluate whether the roof is a good candidate before treatment.

Question 7

What does the warranty cover?

Accepted Answer

Roof Rejuvenate offers a 5-year, non-prorated, transferable product warranty.The warranty is for the Roof Rejuvenate product itself, meaning the rejuvenating treatment is warranted to remain present in the asphalt shingle during the 5-year warranty period. This is different from a workmanship warranty, roof replacement warranty, or leak warranty.Roof Rejuvenate is designed to penetrate asphalt shingles and help restore flexibility and granule adhesion in qualifying roofs. The warranty supports the product’s presence and performance as a shingle rejuvenation treatment.It does not mean the roof is guaranteed against unrelated issues such as storm damage, improper roof installation, ventilation problems, flashing failures, active leaks, structural issues, missing shingles, or damage caused by other trades or events.The warranty is also transferable, which means it can move with the home if the property is sold during the warranty period. This can be valuable for homeowners who want to preserve the roof and document that it was professionally treated.An authorized Roof Rejuvenate dealer can review the warranty terms, inspect the roof, and confirm whether the shingles qualify before treatment.

Question 8

Does shingle rejuvenation change the color of the shingles?

Accepted Answer

Roof Rejuvenate may make aging asphalt shingles look darker or more refreshed after application, especially if the shingles had become dry, faded, or oxidized over time.However, Roof Rejuvenate is not a dye, paint, stain, coating, or cosmetic color treatment. The purpose of the product is not to change the roof color. It is designed to penetrate asphalt shingles and help restore flexibility and granule adhesion.Any visible darkening is typically the result of the shingle being treated and rehydrated, not because a color has been added to the roof. The final appearance can vary depending on the shingle age, original color, roof condition, sun exposure, granule loss, and weathering.In simple terms: Roof Rejuvenate may improve the appearance of dry, aging shingles, but its primary purpose is performance, not color change.Yes, the color of the shingles will darken, similar to what it was like when new. Initially the change can be seen immediately after the initial process is completed, this "darkening" will dissipate over the course of a few days and become lighter as the oils makes it's way into the lower layers of the shingles. Within a couple of years, the shingles will start to lighten up as the surface oils begin to oxidize off and the Roof Rejuvenate can be applied again for more years of saturated, functional shingles.

Question 9

Does Roof Rejuvenate help with moss and algae growing on my roof?

Accepted Answer

Roof Rejuvenate is not a roof cleaner and is not sold as a moss, algae, or stain removal product.Moss, algae, lichen, and heavy organic growth may need to be addressed before rejuvenation so the product can properly contact and penetrate the asphalt shingles. If the roof surface is covered with growth or debris, the roof may need to be cleaned or prepared first.That said, Roof Rejuvenate is designed to treat the asphalt shingle itself, not just the surface appearance. Once the roof is properly prepared, the treatment helps restore flexibility and improve granule adhesion in qualifying asphalt shingles.In simple terms: cleaning handles moss and algae. Roof Rejuvenate handles aging, drying shingles. Both may be part of a proper roof maintenance plan, but they are not the same service.

Question 10

What will my insurance company say about Roof Rejuvenate?

Accepted Answer

Every insurance company is different, so no one can guarantee how a carrier will respond. Insurance decisions depend on the state, roof age, roof condition, policy terms, inspection results, and the insurer’s underwriting rules.In general, insurance companies care about whether the roof is serviceable, properly maintained, and has remaining useful life. Roof Rejuvenate is not an insurance product and does not guarantee coverage, but it can help homeowners document that they are proactively maintaining an aging asphalt shingle roof.For homeowners in states like Florida, roof age and remaining useful life can be especially important. Florida law allows homeowners with roofs 15 years or older to obtain an inspection, and if the inspection shows at least 5 years of remaining useful life, the insurer cannot refuse coverage solely because of the roof’s age. (The Florida Senate⁠)The best approach is to have the roof inspected, complete any needed repairs, rejuvenate the roof if it qualifies, and keep documentation of the service, warranty, photos, and inspection records. Your insurance company may still evaluate other factors, but having clear maintenance records can help show that the roof is being cared for.

Question 11

What's "green" about Roof Rejuvenate?

Accepted Answer

Roof Rejuvenate is a 95% USDA Certified Bio-Based asphalt shingle rejuvenation treatment designed to help extend the usable life of qualifying asphalt shingle roofs.The environmental value comes from helping homeowners delay premature roof replacement. By preserving aging asphalt shingles and helping them last longer, Roof Rejuvenate helps keep shingles out of landfills for longer and reduces unnecessary roof tear-offs.Roof Rejuvenate is also not a coating, paint, or sealant, and it does not contain PFAS, commonly known as “forever chemicals.” The product is manufactured by Colorbiotics, a Sika brand, and is designed to penetrate asphalt shingles to help restore flexibility and granule adhesion.In simple terms: Roof Rejuvenate is green because it is bio-based, PFAS-free, and helps reduce landfill waste by preserving existing asphalt shingles and extending their service life.

Question 12

What about homeowners insurance issues in Florida?

Accepted Answer

Florida is one of the most important states for roof condition, roof age, and homeowners insurance questions.Under Florida Statute 627.7011, insurance companies generally cannot refuse to issue or renew a homeowners policy solely because a roof is less than 15 years old. For roofs that are 15 years or older, the insurer must allow the homeowner to obtain an inspection by an authorized inspector. If that inspection shows the roof has at least 5 years of remaining useful life, the insurer may not refuse coverage solely because of the roof’s age. (Online Sunshine⁠)That matters because Roof Rejuvenate is designed to help qualifying asphalt shingle roofs maintain flexibility, improve granule adhesion, and extend usable roof life. It is not an insurance product and does not guarantee coverage, but it can be part of a proactive roof maintenance strategy for Florida homeowners who need to preserve an aging but still serviceable roof.A proper roof inspection is still critical. Insurance companies can consider other underwriting factors, including roof condition, storm damage, leaks, installation issues, ventilation problems, or other risks. Roof Rejuvenate should not be presented as a way to “force” insurance approval. It should be presented as a roof life extension treatment that may help homeowners maintain a roof that still qualifies for service.For Florida homeowners, the best approach is: inspect the roof, address needed repairs, document the condition, rejuvenate if the roof qualifies, and keep records of the service and warranty.

Question 13

Do you have to clean the roof before applying Roof Rejuvenate?

Accepted Answer

Not always. It depends on the condition of the roof.Roof Rejuvenate needs to make proper contact with the asphalt shingles so it can penetrate and treat the shingle itself. If the roof has heavy moss, algae, lichen, dirt, leaves, or debris, it may need to be cleaned or prepared before rejuvenation.However, not every roof requires a full roof cleaning before treatment. Some roofs only need basic preparation, such as removing loose debris, clearing valleys, checking gutters, and making sure the shingle surface is ready for application.Roof Rejuvenate is not a roof cleaner. Cleaning removes surface growth and debris. Rejuvenation treats aging asphalt shingles by helping restore flexibility and improve granule adhesion.An authorized Roof Rejuvenate dealer can inspect the roof and determine whether cleaning is needed before treatment.

Question 14

What’s the difference between Roof Rejuvenate USA’s product and other roof rejuvenators on the market?

Accepted Answer

Roof Rejuvenate stands apart from many other roof rejuvenation products because it does not rely on soy methyl esters or industrial-grade solvent chemistry commonly found in some similar products.Instead, Roof Rejuvenate uses a unique bio-based technology designed to work within the asphalt shingle itself. The treatment is made to penetrate the shingle and target the asphalt base, helping restore flexibility and improve granule adhesion from within the shingle rather than simply changing the surface appearance.Roof Rejuvenate is also a 95% USDA Certified Bio-Based product and does not contain PFAS, commonly known as “forever chemicals.” It is not a coating, paint, or sealant.Another major difference is testing. Roof Rejuvenate undergoes rigorous lab testing to evaluate performance in key areas such as flexibility, granule adhesion, weathering resistance, mass loss, and fire performance. The testing is designed to measure how the product performs over time, not just how shingles look immediately after application.Roof Rejuvenate’s lab results show product performance after simulated long-term aging, including testing tied to the 5-year warranty period. Longer-term studies have also shown the product present in shingles beyond that period, but Roof Rejuvenate USA maintains a 5-year, non-prorated, transferable product warranty to be responsible across the wide range of climates, roof conditions, and shingle types found throughout North America.In simple terms: Roof Rejuvenate is different because it is bio-based, PFAS-free, not soy methyl ester based, manufactured by Colorbiotics, a Sika brand, tested for long-term performance, and backed by a dealer-owned company with real field experience.

Question 15

Can you buy Roof Rejuvenate and apply it yourself?

Accepted Answer

No. Roof Rejuvenate is not sold as a DIY product for homeowners to buy and apply themselves.Roof Rejuvenate is applied through authorized dealers who are trained on proper roof evaluation, mixing, application rates, equipment, safety procedures, and warranty requirements. This matters because the roof must be inspected first to confirm that it is a good candidate for rejuvenation.Proper application is also important. Too little product may not deliver the intended result, while improper application can create runoff, waste product, or fail to treat the shingles correctly.Roof Rejuvenate is designed as a professional asphalt shingle rejuvenation service, not a retail roof spray. An authorized dealer can inspect the roof, determine whether it qualifies, apply the product correctly, and provide the applicable 5-year, non-prorated, transferable product warranty.

Question 16

Isn’t Roof Rejuvenate just vegetable oil?

Accepted Answer

No. That is a common misconception.Roof Rejuvenate is not vegetable oil, cooking oil, or a simple oil sprayed on a roof. The product is made from fermented corn sugars and is designed specifically for asphalt shingle rejuvenation.Roof Rejuvenate is a 95% USDA Certified Bio-Based product, but that does not mean it is the same as soybean oil, vegetable oil, or generic plant oil. It is also SME-free, meaning it does not rely on soy methyl esters, which are industrial solvent-type ingredients found in some other rejuvenation products.Roof Rejuvenate is designed to penetrate asphalt shingles and help restore flexibility, improve granule adhesion, and extend the usable life of qualifying roofs. It is not a coating, paint, sealant, or cosmetic darkening agent.The product is also PFAS-free, does not contain “forever chemicals,” and is applied by trained authorized dealers according to proper application procedures.Roof Rejuvenate is backed by independent lab testing and a 5-year, non-prorated, transferable product warranty. The testing is designed to show performance after the product has been in the shingle over time, not just how the roof looks on day one.

Question 17

I called my insurance company and they said, “We don’t cover roof rejuvenation.” What does that mean?

Accepted Answer

That usually means the insurance company will not pay for the roof rejuvenation service as a covered claim.Roof Rejuvenate is a proactive roof maintenance and life-extension service, not an insurance claim, storm damage repair, or roof replacement. Most homeowners pay for it directly, just like they would pay for roof cleaning, gutter maintenance, minor repairs, or other preventative home maintenance.That does not mean the treatment has no value for insurance purposes. Insurance companies typically care about the roof’s age, condition, remaining useful life, and whether the roof is being properly maintained. If your roof qualifies, rejuvenation can help preserve aging asphalt shingles, improve flexibility and granule adhesion, and provide documentation that the roof was professionally treated.The important distinction is:Insurance usually does not pay for Roof Rejuvenate, but proper roof maintenance and documentation may still help support the condition and remaining useful life of your roof.Homeowners should keep inspection records, before-and-after photos, warranty documents, and service paperwork after treatment.

Question 18

Who manufactures Roof Rejuvenate?

Accepted Answer

Roof Rejuvenate is manufactured by Colorbiotics, a Sika brand.Sika is a global leader in construction materials, and Colorbiotics brings large-scale manufacturing experience, product consistency, and technical capability to the Roof Rejuvenate system.Roof Rejuvenate USA does not manufacture the product in-house. The product is produced by an established construction materials manufacturer and supplied through the Roof Rejuvenate USA authorized dealer network.This matters because when comparing roof rejuvenation products, homeowners, contractors, and entrepreneurs should ask who makes the product, whether it is third-party tested, whether it has a clear warranty, and whether the company can support product supply at scale.

Question 19

What is a roof rejuvenation dealer?

Accepted Answer

A roof rejuvenation dealer is an authorized local business that offers asphalt shingle rejuvenation services to homeowners and property owners in their market.For Roof Rejuvenate USA, authorized dealers are trained to inspect asphalt shingle roofs, determine whether a roof is a good candidate, apply Roof Rejuvenate properly, and explain the product warranty and maintenance benefits to customers.Roof rejuvenation dealers may be roofing companies, exterior cleaning companies, solar companies, contractors, home service businesses, or entrepreneurs adding a high-demand roof life extension service to their local market.A Roof Rejuvenate USA dealer is not buying a traditional franchise. Dealers operate under their own business name, serve their protected territory, purchase product as needed, and receive training, product access, marketing resources, and ongoing support from a dealer-owned company with real field experience in the roof rejuvenation industry.

Question 20

How can a product mixed with water penetrate asphalt shingles?

Accepted Answer

Roof Rejuvenate USA's product is not using water to restore oil-based asphalt. The active rejuvenating components are bio-based oils. Water is used as the carrier to help apply the treatment evenly across the roof surface.Once applied, the rejuvenating components penetrate the asphalt shingle and help restore flexibility while improving granule adhesion. That is why third-party lab testing measures shingle performance before and after treatment, including flexibility, granule retention, and weathering resistance.

Question 21

Is Roof Rejuvenate field proven?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Roof Rejuvenate is both lab tested and field proven.Yes. Roof Rejuvenate is field proven on millions of square feet of asphalt shingles across North America.The product has been applied by authorized dealers throughout the United States and Canada, across a wide range of climates, roof conditions, and shingle types — from Alaska to Florida.That real-world use matters because asphalt shingles perform differently depending on heat, cold, sun exposure, moisture, roof pitch, ventilation, installation quality, and regional weather patterns. A product should not only perform in a lab; it should also prove itself on actual roofs in real markets.Roof Rejuvenate combines both: independent lab testing and field-proven performance across millions of square feet of shingles.
