Question 1

How much does rejuvenation cost compared to replacement?

Accepted Answer

Roughly 15 to 30 percent of the cost of replacement on a comparable South Florida shingle roof. Exact pricing depends on square footage, pitch, and the number of small repairs folded into the same visit — your quote is from the inspection photos, not a square-foot guess. Most rejuvenations land between $1,500 and $4,500 on a typical Pompano Beach single-family home (see the pricing tiers for the full band); a comparable re-roof runs several times that once tear-off, disposal, and materials are added. Pull the inspection onto paper with the quote form.

Question 2

How long does rejuvenation actually last — will it hold up?

Accepted Answer

5 to 10 years of added service life on a shingle that was a sound candidate in the first place (see the rejuvenation tier on our pricing page for what the scope includes). The treatment restores the binder oils that South Florida sun bakes out over a decade — flexibility returns, granule loss slows, and the surface seals against UV and water again. Lifespan is driven by what your roof looked like at the inspection: an asphalt shingle in the 10-to-20-year band on a sound deck gets the full 5-to-10-year window. Older, dryer, or already-failing shingles get less — and that's when the roof repairs scope is the honest read instead of rejuvenation.

Question 3

What's covered under warranty?

Accepted Answer

A 5-year manufacturer warranty on the treatment product plus an application guarantee on our work — meaning both the material and how it was applied are covered for the same five-year window. The paperwork is filed with your inspection report so the coverage stays with the roof, not the crew. Pull that paperwork into a written scope with the quote form so the 5-year coverage travels with the home. If the treatment fails to perform as described within those five years, the manufacturer covers the product and we cover the re-application — no finger-pointing between the two.

Question 4

Should I DIY this with a kit from the store, or hire a pro?

Accepted Answer

DIY kits miss the steps that make the 5-year manufacturer warranty plus our application guarantee stick. A pro rejuvenation pressure-washes first, folds small repairs (lifted shingles, cracked pipe boots, reseated flashing) into the same visit, then applies the plant-based oil treatment at the right coverage rate — no open flame, no tear-off (see how our roof repairs crew scopes the same visit). The manufacturer warranty requires a certified applicator, which a DIY application does not get you. End result is a sealed roof the same afternoon, a photo-documented scope you can read, and a 5-year warranty filed with the report — see pricing for what pro-application includes.

Question 5

Rejuvenation vs. full replacement — when is each the right call?

Accepted Answer

Rejuvenation is a preventive treatment that restores flexibility and waterproofing to an aging shingle before the underlying structure starts to fail. Replacement is the right call when the structure itself has started to fail — and we will tell you that at the inspection rather than push a treatment that will not hold. The inspection is what actually picks the tier — book it with the quote form. Rejuvenation is out of scope if we find any of these at the inspection: Rotting shingles, decking, or roof structure Badly curled or split shingles across a wide area — far past the cosmetic edge-lift the treatment can still save Structural or deck damage (sagging, soft spots, compromised framing) Major missing shingles from wind, storm, or long-deferred repair Two or three of those lining up with what you are seeing is the honest read for replacement, not rejuvenation — see the three pricing tiers we run so you know which scope the inspection is picking between.

Question 6

What does the 15 to 30 percent of replacement cost actually cover?

Accepted Answer

A typical rejuvenation tier covers roof cleaning, application of the plant-based oil treatment, and small repairs folded into the same visit when the inspection finds them — lifted shingles, cracked pipe boots, reseated flashing. See the full breakdown on the pricing tiers page. The quote is from the inspection photos, not a tape-measure estimate — most Pompano Beach single-family quotes land between $1,500 and $4,500 once the per-scope line items are added; a comparable re-roof runs several times that once tear-off, disposal, and new underlayment are added.

Question 7

Do you offer financing for a rejuvenation project?

Accepted Answer

We do not run third-party financing — we do not want interest-rate surprises in the quote. The default is payment in full after the inspection report is signed off and before crew arrival. For projects above approximately $2,500 we offer a short-window split (typically 50 percent on signing and 50 percent on completion) — see the schedule on the quote form so it carries with the inspection report. Most homeowners who want to spread payments finance through their existing home-equity line rather than introduce a new lender.

Question 8

What is the split between the manufacturer warranty and the application guarantee?

Accepted Answer

Both run a 5-year window — same length, no carve-out between the two. The 5-year manufacturer warranty covers the treatment product itself: if the chemistry fails to perform as described, the manufacturer covers the product. Our application guarantee covers the workmanship — if the bond fails because coverage was missed on a slope, we re-apply at no labor cost. There is no finger-pointing between the two; the paperwork is filed with the inspection report so the coverage stays with the roof, not the crew. Pull that paperwork onto a written scope with the quote form.

Question 9

Is the warranty transferable if I sell my home?

Accepted Answer

Yes — the warranty transfers with the property sale. We file the original scope-of-work report with your closing paperwork so the buyer inherits coverage for the remainder of the 5-year window, and the report carries the lot-specific products (treatment lot, sealants, slope notes) so the next homeowner or their adjuster can read what was actually applied. Reach out via the free-roof-inspection form before listing so the report is ready for the buyer packet rather than chasing paperwork under contract.

Question 10

What can void the warranty?

Accepted Answer

A subsequent reroof by another contractor, structural work that disturbs the deck, or a clearly deferred repair that lets water intrusion reach the decking all void coverage. Cosmetic pressure-washing after the treatment also voids — high-PSI washing strips the sealants the treatment is designed to deposit. Routine rainwater and normal cleaning with a garden-hose-safe detergent do not void; the inspection report lists what to skip and what to keep doing between visits. See how the roof repairs scope folds into the same visit when the deck exposes what the treatment cannot cover.

Question 11

My roof is 8 years old — is it too early for rejuvenation?

Accepted Answer

Yes, in most cases. Asphalt shingles in the first 6 to 8 years still hold their factory binder oils — the treatment locks in a residue the shingle does not need and adds cost without added service life. The treatment is engineered for the 10-to-20-year shingle band, when the binder has cooked off and granule adhesion is starting to slip. If the roof is under 8, the free inspection usually turns into a routine maintenance plan instead — book it with the free inspection and we re-document at year 10 rather than push a treatment that does not yet have a job to do.

Question 12

My roof is 18+ years — am I past the window?

Accepted Answer

Often, yes. A shingle in the 18-to-25-year window is usually past the cosmetic edge-lift the treatment restores — by this age the binder is gone and the shingle is brittle, splitting underfoot rather than flexing back. We can still bring a senior-roof 18-plus inspection through the quote form, but expect the honest read to be repair (sound deck, only some slopes failed) or replacement (uniformly failed field). The free inspection is what makes the call rather than the install-date alone.

Question 13

My roof sits in the 10-to-20-year window — is that the sweet spot?

Accepted Answer

Yes — that is the band the treatment was formulated for. Binder oils cooked off by South Florida sun, granule adhesion starting to slip, edge-lift you can flatten back with a finger, no structural sag in the deck. A shingle in this band on a still-sound deck gets the full 5-to-10-year added-service-life window. The free inspection confirms whether your roof lands here — book it with the free inspection and we reconcile the install date against what the field shows at the visit.

Question 14

Walk me through the day of service — what does the crew actually do?

Accepted Answer

The visit runs about 5 to 7 hours for a typical Pompano Beach single-family home. The crew pressure-washes first to clear embedded debris from the shingle surface, folds any small repairs the inspection flagged (lifted shingles, cracked pipe boots, reseated flashing) into the same visit, then applies the plant-based oil treatment at the right coverage rate per slope — no open flame, no tear-off, no dumpster in the driveway. See the pricing tiers for what the day covers so the quote is from what was scoped, not a verbal walk-around. Crews handling the same day are the same crew our roof repairs service runs for active leaks.

Question 15

How long does the treatment take to cure, and when is the roof walkable?

Accepted Answer

The treatment cures to walkable within 4 to 6 hours under typical South Florida humidity, and we schedule the visit in the morning so the surface is set before any afternoon convection rain. Most Pompano Beach and Fort Lauderdale homes finish by mid-afternoon. Full cure to maximum hardness runs 24 to 48 hours, but no one needs to clear the area at that point and there is no strong-solvent smell to ventilate — the surface is ready for normal foot traffic as soon as the crew leaves.

Question 16

Will my landscaping and pool deck be affected by the treatment?

Accepted Answer

No. The plant-based treatment is non-toxic on contact and rinses off hard surfaces with a garden hose — we drape sensitive plantings before application and rinse overspray off pool decks and walkways while wet. It is safe around kids, pets, landscaping, and rainwater collection (no harsh solvent fumes, no chemical smell in the attic). Crews are off the property the same day, no follow-up appointment is needed, and the surface is walkable once cured.

Question 17

Why does the added-lifespan range vary so much — 5 to 10 years, sometimes closer to 15?

Accepted Answer

Three variables drive the spread. Substrate: a shingle on a sound, well-vented deck flexes back; a shingle over a poorly vented attic has been heat-baked for years and yields less added service life. Pitch: steeper slopes shed water and UV more efficiently, so a steeper roof wins on the upper end of the range. Sun exposure: a south- or west-facing slope in coastal Pompano Beach takes 30 to 40 percent more UV than the same slope under a tree-shaded Coral Springs block, and that gap shows up in the post-treatment service-life projection we put on the inspection report.

Question 18

My neighbor got 12 added years — will mine match?

Accepted Answer

Probably not the same number, even on identical homes. Two homes built the same year in the same Boca Raton subdivision can hit different service lives because of attic venting, tree cover, and which slopes take direct afternoon sun. The range we put on the report is roof-specific and we walk it back to the inspection photos — a sound deck with even sun exposure sits at the top of the range; a marginal deck with an extreme south-facing slope sits nearer the bottom.

Question 19

Does the 5-year warranty match the lifespan projection?

Accepted Answer

They are independent. The warranty covers the treatment and the workmanship for 5 years — if the chemistry or the application fails to perform as described, the manufacturer covers the product or we cover the re-application. The lifespan projection is the longer engineering estimate of added service life on a sound shingle over a sound deck. A roof at the top of the projection can clear 10 added years; a roof at the bottom can still get the full 5-year warranty. Both numbers ride the pricing tier summary and the inspection report.

Question 20

Will my homeowner insurance cover rejuvenation?

Accepted Answer

Typically not — most carriers treat rejuvenation as preventive maintenance, not storm or covered-peril damage. A wind or hail event that lifted shingles is a separate, claim-eligible scope (see our roof repairs page) and the inspection captures photo evidence your adjuster can read. The 5-year warranty is for performance, not insurance reimbursement; the inspection report pairs with the warranty paperwork so the record is complete on both sides and the adjuster-side file is ready if a separate storm scope opens.

Question 21

My HOA requires approval for exterior work — does the treatment need HOA sign-off?

Accepted Answer

Sometimes, sometimes not. Most South Florida HOAs require sign-off for material replacement but not for preventive maintenance like cleaning-and-seal; if your HOA is in the second camp, no application is needed. We can hand you the treatment product spec sheet and the application scope so the HOA has what they need — bring the exterior-modification form to the free inspection and we will fill in the technical section at the visit rather than mail a packet back and forth.

Question 22

Can the inspection count toward an insurance scope?

Accepted Answer

The inspection itself is not a covered scope. If the inspection finds storm-dated damage (uplifted shingles from a named storm, valley creasing, chimney flashing pulled by wind), the documented scope becomes the adjuster-side file and that scope can include treatment on slopes that were not physically damaged. Most Pompano Beach and West Palm Beach homes we look at after a storm event end up with a hybrid scope: storm repair on the damaged slopes and treatment on the older-but-intact ones.

Question 23

Do you treat 3-tab asphalt shingles, or only architectural?

Accepted Answer

Both, but with a different scope. Architectural shingles in the 10-to-20-year band are the sweet spot the treatment was designed for — thicker mat, more granule reserve, and the flexibility to absorb the treatment and re-bond. 3-tab is lighter and shorter-lived; a sound 15-year 3-tab can be treated, but the projected added service life is closer to the bottom of the range (5 to 7 years) than the top. Reach out via the free inspection and we grade the mat style at the visit so you know where on the range your roof sits.

Question 24

Do you treat tile or metal roofs?

Accepted Answer

No — tile and metal are out of scope for the rejuvenation treatment. They are non-asphalt surfaces and the chemistry is formulated for fibrous shingle mat, not glazed clay or standing-seam panels. Tile can usually be restored through a separate cleaning-and-seal process and metal through a fastener-and-seam scope; both are also outside our roof repairs service line. The free inspection reports on the material type so you do not pay a visit fee to learn the treatment is not a fit for the surface you have.

Question 25

What about a flat or low-slope section adjoining the shingle field?

Accepted Answer

The shingle treatment does not carry over — flat and low-slope roofs need a separate waterproofing scope to handle ponding and seam movement, not a shingle treatment. We can scope the flat section under waterproofing at the same visit if the home has both, and the free inspection walks both surfaces so the proposal is one report, two scopes. Most Pompano Beach east-of-Federal homes with a flat addition over the original roof get this hybrid treatment rather than two separate visits.

Question 26

What are the deal-breakers — when is rejuvenation off the table?

Accepted Answer

Four conditions put rejuvenation out of scope per the honest-scope band: rotting shingles or decking, badly curled or split shingles across a wide area, sagging or structurally compromised deck, and major missing shingles from wind or storm. Two or three of those lining up with what you are seeing is the honest read for replacement or repair, not treatment. The inspection walks the four conditions, and the report names which, if any, the deck meets — see the three pricing tiers we run so the proposal maps to the actual condition rather than a checkbox.

Question 27

Can my roof be partially treated — south slope only, skip the bad north slope?

Accepted Answer

Sometimes yes. A roof with a damaged north slope and a sound south slope is a candidate for a hybrid scope — roof repairs or partial replacement on the failed slope, treatment on the surviving slope. The inspection walks the per-slope condition and the quote carries the per-scope line items. This is the honest read for a roof that is not uniformly aged out, and keeps the work scoped to what actually needs doing rather than a blanket full-roof scope.

Question 28

What is the line between "needs roof repairs" and "needs replacement"?

Accepted Answer

Roof repairs carry localized component failures (lifted flashing, a missing patch of shingles, an active leak at a single penetration) on a still-sound deck. Replacement carries structural failure, widespread field failure, or a deck that no longer holds fasteners — the honest-scope conditions two-and-three most often. The inspection grades both, and the report names the per-scope line items so the quote maps to the actual condition. A roof with a sound deck and a single bad penetration sits at the repairs tier; a roof with structural sag or a uniformly failed field sits at replacement. Compare with our fascia and wood repair and roof leak repair services when the localized failure is at a soffit or active-drip penetration.

Question 29

What should I do if I am not sure whether rejuvenation is still an option?

Accepted Answer

Not sure what happens next? Read the free inspection guide to see how the visit works, then use the rejuvenation quote form to request a photo-documented scope. We will confirm whether the roof is a candidate or recommend repair or replacement when the inspection shows the structure is already failing.

Question 30

Do you also handle roof repairs?

Accepted Answer

Yes — missing shingles, lifted flashing, pipe boots, valley repairs, chimney counter-flashing, and active leak diagnosis. Same inspection stack as rejuvenation, same evidence pack your adjuster will see if you’re filing a claim.

Question 31

Do you do waterproofing on flat or low-slope roofs?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Flat-roof coatings, self-adhered membrane systems, and sealant renewal around penetrations — done as a standalone scope or as the moisture-control layer under a later rejuvenation.

Question 32

Can you replace rotted fascia and soffit?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Rotted fascia and soffit boards replaced before they pull the gutter line out of plane. Soffit ventilation corrected when the original install starved the attic. Trim, frieze, and rafter tails repaired with materials that match the existing profile.
