Homeowner qualification guide
Does My Roof Qualify for Roof Rejuvenation?
A roof is a good candidate when the shingles are aging but the roof system is still sound. Use this page to separate roofs that may qualify from roofs that need repair or replacement first.
Decision first
Start with the roof condition, not the roof age.
02
Repair first
Rejuvenation should wait until roof repair problems are handled and the roof can be inspected again.
- Missing shingles
- Failed flashing
- Problem vents or valleys
03
Usually not a fit
Some roofs are too far along for treatment and need repair, partial replacement, or full replacement.
- Soft or rotting decking
- Severe curling or cracking
- Major hail or storm damage
Inspection checklist
What a provider should check before recommending treatment
01
Shingle flexibility, brittleness, curling, cracking, and remaining granule coverage.
02
Missing shingles, exposed mat, failed tabs, or sections that need repair first.
03
Flashing, vents, valleys, penetrations, and other common leak sources.
04
Decking condition, soft spots, rot, sagging, or structural warning signs.
05
Storm, hail, wind, or installation damage that should be repaired or assessed separately.
06
Whether treatment, repair, or replacement is the most responsible next step.
Qualification map
Use this as a homeowner reference before booking.
Roof condition
Likely next step
Aging shingles, still intact
Often qualifies. Confirm with inspection.
Dry or brittle shingles
Possibly qualifies. Treatment may help restore flexibility.
Minor granule loss
Inspection needed. Severity matters.
Missing shingles or failed flashing
Repair first. These are not treatment problems.
Active leaks
Repair first. Diagnose the leak source.
Soft decking or severe curling
Usually replacement or repair. The roof may be too far gone.
Provider questions
Ask these before anyone sprays your roof.
A good provider should be willing to explain what would disqualify the roof, what repairs are needed first, and what the warranty does not cover.
- Will you inspect the roof before recommending treatment?
- What conditions would disqualify my roof?
- Does the roof need repairs before treatment?
- What product will be applied?
- Is the product safe for pets, plants, and gardens?
- What warranty is included, and what does it not cover?
- Can you explain the expected lifespan extension for this specific roof?
- What happens if the roof does not qualify?
FAQ
Common qualification questions
How old can a roof be?
Age alone is not enough to decide. Some older roofs qualify if the shingles and structure are still sound; a younger roof with leaks or failed decking may not.
Can roof rejuvenation fix leaks?
No. Leaks should be diagnosed and repaired before treatment. Rejuvenation is not a replacement for roof repair.
Can missing shingles be treated?
Missing shingles usually need repair first. Treatment does not replace missing material or correct installation problems.
What if the roof does not qualify?
Ask whether targeted repair, partial replacement, or full replacement is the responsible next step.
