ROOF EDUCATION / THE SCIENCE OF ROOF EVOLUTION

A SMARTER WAY
TO THINK ABOUT
YOUR ROOF.

Before you replace it, understand it. Learn how asphalt shingles age, how GoNano protection works, and when a fresh start makes sense.

Preserve when possible. Replace when necessary.

THE STARTING POINT: THE ROOF YOU ALREADY HAVE.

01 / UNDERSTAND THE WEAR

WEATHER HAPPENS.
SHINGLES CHANGE.

Asphalt shingles are built to face the elements. Over time, sunlight, moisture, and temperature changes can leave them less flexible and more vulnerable to damage.

Look at the whole roof.

Granule loss and brittle shingles are part of the picture. Flashing, ventilation, drainage, leaks, and the roof underneath matter too.

Condition comes before age.

A roof that looks tired may still have useful life. A roof with serious damage may need replacement. An assessment helps tell the difference.

02 / EXPLORE THE TECHNOLOGY

TINY PARTICLES.
A DIFFERENT APPROACH.

ShieldTek uses GoNano’s penetrating treatment to help protect suitable asphalt shingles. The aim is to improve the material already in place and extend its useful life.

01

PENETRATE

GoNano describes nanosilica particles that enter the shingle’s pore structure rather than forming a conventional surface film.

02

FORTIFY

The manufacturer describes bonding within the asphalt material to support flexibility and resistance to weathering.

03

PROTECT

The selected system, preparation, and application all matter. Your proposal explains the treatment and the warranty available for your roof.

03 / CHOOSE THE RIGHT NEXT STEP

TWO PATHS.
ONE HONEST ASSESSMENT.

Refurbishment and replacement solve different problems. We recommend the work that fits the condition of your property.

PRESERVE THE ROOF YOU HAVE

REFURBISHMENT

For a serviceable asphalt roof that can benefit from protection. Keep sound materials working, with less disruption than a complete tear-off.

BUILD THE NEXT CHAPTER

REPLACEMENT

For a roof with deterioration or underlying problems that make refurbishment unsuitable. Address the roofing system with a defined installation plan.

Straight answers

Good questions.
Honest answers.

Still wondering about your property? We’re happy to talk it through.

No. Leaks, damaged flashing, failed decking, and other defects need appropriate repairs. We identify those issues before recommending a protective treatment.

It depends on the condition of the shingles and the roof underneath. We inspect first, explain what we find, and recommend refurbishment only when the roof is a suitable candidate.

Eligible roof refurbishment projects have warranty options up to 15 years. The available term, coverage, maintenance requirements, and exclusions depend on your roof and the selected system. Your written proposal will include the applicable terms.
