How reviving your roof can add years to its lifespan

When you think of shingles, rejuvenation and reduced aging effects probably don't come to mind.

But with new technology in the industry, environmentally safe solutions can inject new life into your roof.

Typically, asphalt shingles show signs of aging within five to ten years, as the shingle's granular coating wears away, causing the shingles to weaken and crack.

But companies like OK Roof Revival use a bio-based soybean oil solution to improve granular adhesion, increase waterproofing, improve fire retardancy, and even reduce and stop moss growth.

"Roof revival is truly the latest and greatest in roofing technology," said Devin Westwood.

Many homeowners believe the only solution for aging shingles is to replace them after 10 to 15 years, but this is no longer the case.

"We can add five to 15 years to the life of your roof at just a fifth of the cost of replacing it," he said.

Moreover, roof revival is environmentally conscious, keeping shingles out of landfills.

"Over 12 million tonnes of asphalt shingles end up in landfills each year," he said. "That's truly my favorite part, working to keep those shingles on people's roofs where they belong."
