Frequently Asked Question
We've compiled the most frequently asked questions about Roof Shield to give you a clear understanding of our groundbreaking roof rejuvenation process. Discover how it works, what makes it eco-friendly, and everything else you need to know—all in one place.
How does Roof Shield's treatment work?
The roof of a home is constantly exposed to the elements, making it a highly dynamic and vulnerable system. Over time, this exposure leads to shingle deterioration, causing them to become dry, brittle, and more permeable while losing essential granules.
Roof Shield tackles these issues with our Clean-Restore-Protect program, designed to extend the life of your roof and enhance its performance.
Step-by-Step Roof Rejuvenation Process:
✅ Inspection & Repairs – Before applying our Roof Reboot rejuvenator, we conduct a comprehensive roof inspection to identify and repair common problem areas, including damaged pipe boots, exposed nail heads, and faulty flashing.
✅ Soft Wash Cleaning – We perform a professional soft wash roof cleaning to eliminate harmful organic growth, algae, moss, and lichen, which accelerate shingle degradation.
✅ Rejuvenation Treatment – Our Roof Reboot rejuvenator penetrates the shingles, restoring their flexibility, reducing granule loss, and improving moisture resistance. This treatment not only enhances durability but also revives the roof’s original color and performance.
With Roof Shield’s advanced roof rejuvenation, you can protect your investment, extend your roof’s lifespan, and delay costly replacements.
What is Roof Reboot?
Roof Reboot is the asphalt shingle rejuvenation product that is owned and manufactured by Roof Shield LLC.
Roof Reboot absorbs into an aging asphalt shingle and:
- Restores flexibility – aging shingles are brittle, dry, and prone to breakage. Roof Reboot restores flexibility to new.
- Stops granule loss – aging shingles shed granules and will become too thin to protect the home. Roof Reboot stops granule loss.
- Restores vapor resistance – aging shingles become permeable and allow water transmission, leading to rotten decking. Roof Reboot restores vapor resistance to new.
- Restores curb appeal – Roof Reboot enhances the color of shingles, restoring their look while enhancing curb appeal.
How do I know if my roof qualifies for Roof Shield?
Many factors affect how a roof will age. In general, we recommend the Roof Shield process for roof systems over 1 year old and not actively failing. Depending on shingle type and environment, Roof Shield clients tend to have roofs between 5 to 20 years of age. Furthermore, roofs that show black streaks (Gloecapsa Magma) are also likely candidates for Roof Shield as the streaking is caused by a bacterium that destroys shingles.
Will Roof Shield void my roof warranty?
The short answer is no.
Roof Shield improves the performance of your roof, making the roof system less likely to fail. And our soft wash cleaning step uses manufacturer-approved ARMA (Asphalt Roofing Manufacturer Association) guidelines that are accepted industry-wide.
How long does a Roof Shield application protect my home?
We offer a 5-year transferable warranty with each application by a certified applicator. The warranty certifies that the roof’s performance will remain improved for the next five years.
Can Roof Shield’s treatment be used on all types of roofs?
Roof Shield’s proprietary Roof Reboot process works on asphalt granulated roofs. It is important to consult with one of our professionals to determine if our treatment is a good option for your specific roof.
