Self-check
Signs your roof may qualify
None of this replaces an assessment, but it will tell you whether one is worth booking. Stay on the ground — use binoculars, not a ladder.
1. The roof is roughly 8–18 years old
This is the range where asphalt has commonly dried out while the shingle is still intact. Younger roofs usually don't need treatment yet; much older ones have often crossed into mechanical failure.
2. Colour has faded, especially on the sunniest plane
Compare the south- and west-facing planes against a north-facing one. A clear difference indicates UV weathering — which is exactly what rejuvenation addresses.
3. You're finding granules, but not heaps of them
Some granules in the gutters after a storm is normal ageing. Steady accumulation with visibly bare patches on the roof is a different story and often points to replacement.
4. Mild curling at tab edges
Slight lifting at the corners is an early stiffening sign and often still within range. Shingles that have hard-curled into a cup shape usually are not.
5. No leaks, ever
Check ceilings and attic sheathing for staining. A roof with no history of water intrusion is a far better candidate than one that has leaked, even if the leak was repaired.
6. Roof planes are straight
Sight along the ridge and down each plane from the ground. Waviness, dips or sagging suggest a decking or framing issue that rejuvenation cannot address.
7. Shingles are all present and lying flat
Scan for gaps, displaced tabs and lifted edges — particularly after a windy winter. Isolated missing shingles can often be repaired first; widespread loss points to replacement.
Red flags that rule rejuvenation out
- Active leaks or interior water staining
- Black fiberglass mat visible through the granules
- Shingles that crack or crumble when handled
- Sagging roof planes or soft decking
- Two or more layers of shingles
- Recent storm damage with an open insurance claim
Qualification questions
Does the assessment cost anything?
No. The roof assessment is free and there is no obligation to move forward with anything afterward.
Do I need to be home?
Not necessarily. We can often complete the exterior assessment without you present, then review the findings with you by phone or email. If attic access is helpful, we'll arrange a time that works.
Will you pressure me into treatment?
No. A meaningful share of the roofs we look at don't qualify, and we say so. Our model depends on being right about which roofs are suitable, not on treating every roof we visit.
How quickly will I hear back?
We aim to respond to every qualification request within one business day and schedule the on-site assessment shortly after, weather permitting.
See if your roof qualifies
Six quick questions about your roof, and an honest read on whether rejuvenation is likely to be a fit for it.
2-minute self-check
Answer six questions from the ground.
This won't replace an on-roof inspection, but your answers shape the recommendation you'll get at the end — including when rejuvenation isn't the right call. "Not sure" is a fine answer.
1.Is your roof roughly 8–25 years old?
2.Do you have any active leaks or interior water stains?
3.Are there shingles missing, cracked through, or hard-curled in sections?
4.Do you see granules collecting in gutters, or fading and dry-looking shingles?
5.Do any roof planes sag, or does the decking feel soft?
6.Does the roof have more than one layer of shingles?

Before you replace — see if you qualify.
A free roof assessment tells you whether your asphalt shingles still have serviceable life. If they don't, we'll say so and point you to a roofer we trust.
