If your asphalt shingles are starting to show their age, a full roof replacement may not be your only option.
Bright Green Roof helps Edmonton homeowners preserve aging asphalt shingles, extending their usable life and postponing the cost of replacement when the roof is still in good enough condition to qualify.
We start with a free satellite roof measurement to give you accurate pricing. Before any treatment, we inspect the roof in person to make sure rejuvenation is actually the right option.
An older roof does not automatically mean you need a new one.
As asphalt shingles age, they gradually lose the oils that help keep them flexible. Homeowners may start noticing faded colour, increased granule loss, brittle shingles or some curling around the edges.
Those are signs that the roof is aging, but they do not always mean the roof has failed.If the shingles are still structurally sound, roof rejuvenation may be able to slow that deterioration, restore flexibility, improve granule adhesion and help you get more usable life from the roof you already have.
The important part is timing.Rejuvenation works best while the roof is still in preservable condition. Waiting until shingles are badly cracked, extensively curled, missing, leaking or the roof has underlying structural problems can mean the opportunity for preservation has already passed.
That is why we inspect every roof before treatment.
Some roofs may only need a few small repairs before they can be rejuvenated. Others are simply too far along and are better candidates for repair or replacement.
Our goal is not to spray every roof. It is to help you understand what condition your roof is actually in, and whether preserving it still makes sense.
Asphalt shingles don't suddenly fail when they reach a certain age. They gradually dry out, lose flexibility and become more vulnerable to cracking, curling and granule loss. Roof rejuvenation is designed to slow that process while the shingles are still in preservable condition.
The asphalt inside your shingles contains oils that help keep them flexible. Years of sun, heat, oxidation and Alberta weather gradually cause those oils to diminish.
As the shingles become drier, they can become more brittle, shed granules more easily and become increasingly prone to cracking and edge curling.
Bright Green Roof applies a 100% biobased, plant-based treatment directly to qualified asphalt shingles.
The treatment is designed to penetrate the shingle rather than simply coat the surface, helping restore some of the flexibility and protective properties lost through aging.
This real Edmonton project shows the visible difference before and after the asphalt shingles were treated with Bright Green Roof rejuvenation.
Edmonton roofs experience a wide range of conditions over the course of a year. Cold winters, warm and dry summer weather, strong sun and repeated temperature changes all contribute to the gradual aging of asphalt shingles.
None of these conditions mean a roof is destined to fail early. But as shingles lose flexibility with age, years of exposure can begin to take a greater toll.
During Edmonton's colder months, temperatures can move above and below freezing, sometimes repeatedly.
Moisture around vulnerable areas of a roof can freeze, expand and thaw again. Over time, that repeated movement can add stress to shingles that are already becoming dry and brittle.
Edmonton winters get most of the attention, but summer exposure plays an important role in shingle aging too.
UV, heat and dry conditions contribute to oxidation and the gradual loss of oils from asphalt shingles. It is a slow process that builds over years rather than happening after one particularly hot summer.
Two Edmonton homes built at the same time can have roofs in very different condition. Even different slopes on the same house can age at different rates.
Roof orientation, direct sunlight, shade, surrounding trees, wind exposure and how quickly moisture dries can all influence what happens to the shingles over time.
That is why we care much more about the actual condition of your shingles than the age printed on an old roofing invoice.
There is no magic birthday when an Edmonton roof suddenly needs rejuvenation or replacement.
A roof that is starting to dry out but remains structurally sound may still be an excellent candidate for preservation. A roof with widespread cracking, severe curling, leaks or significant underlying damage may already need repairs or replacement.
Does Your Edmonton Roof Qualify for Rejuvenation?Roof rejuvenation works best when asphalt shingles are aging, but still structurally sound.
Dryness, fading, granule loss and early edge curling can all be signs that a roof is ready to be assessed. Active leaks, extensive cracking, widespread missing shingles or structural damage may mean the opportunity for preservation has already passed.The important thing is finding out where your roof actually stands.
Our Edmonton roof rejuvenation guide explains what we look for, when treatment makes sense, and when repair or replacement may be the better option.
See If Your Edmonton Roof May Qualify
You do not need to diagnose the roof yourself. Every Bright Green Roof treatment starts with an in-person qualification inspection.
The first step is a satellite measurement of your roof.
This gives us the roof size we need to prepare an initial quote without requiring you to book an on-site visit first.
If the pricing makes sense, we move on to the qualification inspection.
Before we treat any roof, the Bright Green Roof Edmonton team inspects the shingles to make sure they are still suitable for rejuvenation.
We look at the overall condition of the roof, including shingle flexibility, cracking, curling, granule loss and any areas that may need attention.
If small repairs are required before treatment, we will show you what we found and discuss them separately.
If the roof has deteriorated too far for rejuvenation, we will tell you.
Once the roof qualifies, we prepare the property and apply the rejuvenation treatment evenly across the asphalt shingles.
After treatment, we document the finished roof so you have a clear record of the work completed and can see the result for yourself.
We are using a sustainably resourced, plant-based, non-toxic, environmentally friendly shingle preservation solution that’s been approved as a USDA Certified Biobased Product.
Our USDA Certified Biobased Product replenishes the oil within the shingle matt that has been lost due to weathering. This helps restore the shingle's colouring and pliability to allow the shingle to have flexibility, while increasing protection against damaging UV rays, rain, wind, snow and ice.
Depending on the condition of your shingles, the earliest you would want to begin your preservation program is at the 5-year mark. Please keep an eye on the condition of your roof and the volume of granular shingle surface that your find in your gutter. Older roofs that are 10-15 years old are also perfect candidates for beginning the preservation program. If your shingles are 10 years or older, you would want to initiate your preservation program, spraying the roof every 5 years, which will significantly extend the total life of your roof. Our product can be applied to a roof up to 3 times.
The shingle preservation treatment is a fraction of the cost and will save you thousands compared to the cost of a total roof replacement. The price of the service depends on the roof pitch and the number of stories, but it generally costs 80% less than a roof replacement. Just contact us for a free quote!
Having your Roof Preserved with Bright Green Roof will instantly restores lost oils, making the shingle pliable, increasing flexibility, and enhancing the color to a "like-new condition". This will reduce cracking and edge curling. Each treatment comes with a transferable 5-year warranty to ensure that the asphalt shingle will continue to be pliable and flexible for 5 years after the treatment, helping the shingles to expand and contract with the seasons and weather elements. Should you experience issues with the pliability of the shingles and they indeed begin to curl, simply contact your local Bright Green Roof dealer and your roof will be re-treated free of charge.
