What changes

What your roof looks like afterwards

Nothing about your house changes visually — that is rather the point. What changes is how the roof behaves in weather, and how many winters it has left in it.

Three measurable changes

What is different the day after

You will not see the treatment. These are the three things you can actually observe once it has cured.

Rain runs off instead of soaking in

The most visible change, and the one most homeowners notice in the first storm. Water beads and sheds rather than sitting in the shingle mat waiting for the temperature to drop.

Granule loss slows down

Check your gutters and downspouts after a hard rain. The gritty sediment that collects there is your roof's UV protection, and locking it back down is a large part of the job.

Streaking stops spreading

Black algae feeds on the limestone filler in shingles and needs a damp surface to spread. A roof that sheds water is a far less hospitable place for it to get going.

What we are looking for

The conditions restoration is built for

Three things we check on every inspection. Any of them, and your roof is probably a candidate. None of them, and we will tell you to spend your money elsewhere.

Aging asphalt shingles showing fading and granule loss

Fading and granule loss

Colour going patchy and grit collecting in the gutters. The shingle is losing its sunscreen.

Darkened roof surface with algae streaking

Streaking on shaded slopes

Usually the north face, usually worse under tree cover. Common right across the Quad Cities.

Close view of dry shingle surface texture

Dryness and early cracking

Shingles that have stopped flexing with the temperature and started splitting instead.

What you keep

What is in your hands when we leave

Whether you book the work or not, the inspection leaves you better informed about your own roof than you were that morning.

  • Photographs of your roof, taken from the roof
  • A written assessment of what we found
  • A straight recommendation, including "do nothing"
  • A written quote with no expiry and no pressure
  • Full warranty terms up front, before you commit
  • A transferable warranty if you sell the house
