Q: Does Greener Shingles change the color of the shingles? A: Yes, the color will darken, similar to what it was when new. Within a month or two it will start to lighten up as the surface oil starts to oxidize off. Within a couple years, it will be back closer to the color of the shingles the day the roof was sprayed. Q: What does the warranty cover? A: Our five year prorated warranty covers the fact that GS will extend the life of the shingle five years past the expected life of the shingle, in the environment they are in. Some owners want to stop the aging process on older shingles, so depending on how old they are we may not be able to warranty a shingle that is starting to show signs of extreme aging, like when the shingles are starting to curl up. The warranty is transferable to the next homeowner.
Q: How do I know if my shingles need rejuvenation? A: Typically shingles that are ten years old start to show signs of aging, granular loss and could use rejuvenation before they start to curl up and become brittle. Q: How much does it cost? A: It depends on the size, pitch and access of the roof. It costs about 15% of the cost of replacement, or saves 85% of the cost of replacing. Contact your local dealer for an estimate.
