Frequently Asked Questions About Fresh Roof Rejuvenation

Common Questions Virginia Homeowners Ask About Roof Restoration

Have questions about Fresh Roof rejuvenation? You're not alone! We get these questions every day from homeowners who want to save money and extend their roof's life. Here are honest answers to help you make the best decision for your home.


What Is Fresh Roof Rejuvenation?

Q: What exactly does Fresh Roof do to my roof?

A: Think of Fresh Roof like a health treatment for your aging shingles. Over time, your roof shingles get brittle and dry out from sun, rain, and weather. Fresh Roof is a special spray that soaks deep into each shingle and brings back the oils that have dried up. This makes your shingles flexible again and helps them last much longer.

It's like putting lotion on dry skin - but for your roof! The difference is that Fresh Roof actually becomes part of your shingle, so it keeps working for years.

Q: How is Fresh Roof different from just coating my roof?

A: Great question! Most roof coatings just sit on top of your shingles like paint. Fresh Roof is completely different - it soaks all the way through each shingle and fixes the problem from the inside out.

Coatings can peel and wash away, but Fresh Roof becomes part of your shingle forever. That's why it lasts so much longer than other treatments.

How Long Does Fresh Roof Last?

Q: How many years will Fresh Roof add to my roof?

A: Fresh Roof typically extends your roof's life by 6+ years with each treatment. We're so confident that we back every application with a 6-year warranty.

Here's what makes this possible: While other products just soften your shingles temporarily, Fresh Roof actually repairs the damage at a molecular level. It's like the difference between putting a band-aid on a cut versus actually healing the wound.

Q: Can I apply Fresh Roof more than once?

A: Yes! After 6+ years, you can have Fresh Roof applied again for another 6+ years of protection. Some of our customers have done this twice, giving them 12+ extra years from their original roof. That's amazing when you consider a new roof might only last 15-20 years anyway.

Fresh Roof vs. Competitors - Why It's Better

Q: I've heard of Roof Maxx. How is Fresh Roof different?

A: This is one of our most common questions! Here's the honest truth:

Fresh Roof uses advanced chemistry that was developed at Iowa State University. It creates permanent bonds inside your shingles that last for years.

Roof Maxx uses basic soybean oil that softens shingles temporarily but washes away much faster. Think of it like the difference between a permanent hair treatment versus temporary conditioner.

The results speak for themselves:

  • Fresh Roof: 6+ year warranty

  • Roof Maxx: 5 year warranty (and often doesn't last that long)

Q: What about Go Nano? Are they similar to Fresh Roof?

A: Not really. These products work completely differently:

Go Nano uses nanotechnology coating that sits on top of shingles. It can help with water resistance, but it doesn't fix the underlying problem of brittle, aging shingles.

Fresh Roof is the only product that actually goes inside your shingles and restores them to like-new condition. That's why it lasts so much longer.

Q: How does Fresh Roof compare to Roof Restore and Roof Shield?

A: Both Roof Restore and Roof Shield are soy oil coatings that quickly dissipate. Here's why Fresh Roof is better:

Fresh Roof Advantages:

  • Penetrates completely through shingles

  • Restores original shingle properties

  • Includes a built-in mold inhibitor

  • Won't peel or flake because it's part of the shingle

  • Maintains your existing roof warranty

  • Lasts 6+ years with our warranty

Cost and Value Questions

Q: How much does Fresh Roof cost compared to a new roof?

A: Fresh Roof typically costs only 10-15% of what a new roof would cost.

Here's a real example:

  • New roof replacement: $15,000-$25,000

  • Fresh Roof treatment: $1,500-$3,500

You save $15,000+ and get 6+ more years from your existing roof. If you apply Fresh Roof twice (or three times) over the years, you could get 12+/18+ extra years for less than the cost of one new roof!

Q: Is Fresh Roof worth it, or should I just replace my roof?

A: It depends on your roof's condition, but in most cases, Fresh Roof is the smarter choice. Here's why:

Replace your roof when:

  • Shingles are already falling apart (pieces of the shingles are found on the ground when there is no severe weather)

  • You have major structural damage

  • Less than 50% of the protective granules are left

Choose Fresh Roof when:

  • Your roof looks old but isn't falling apart

  • You want to save money

  • You care about the environment (keeps old shingles out of landfills)

  • You don't want the hassle of construction

We'll honestly tell you if your roof is too damaged for Fresh Roof. We'd rather give you the truth than take your money for something that won't work.

Safety and Environmental Questions

Q: Is Fresh Roof safe for my family and pets?

A: Absolutely! Fresh Roof is made from plant-based ingredients (that's why it's called GreenSoy Technology). It has zero harmful chemicals or fumes.

Safe for:

  • Children and babies

  • Pets (dogs, cats, etc.)

  • Plants and gardens

  • Well water and septic systems

  • The environment

Unlike some competitors that use harsh chemicals, Fresh Roof is so safe you could technically drink it (though we don't recommend that!).

Q: Will Fresh Roof hurt my garden or landscaping?

A: Not at all. Fresh Roof is biodegradable and plant-based. It won't harm grass, flowers, trees, or any landscaping around your home. We take extra care during application, but even if some gets on plants, it won't hurt them.

Application Process Questions

Q: How long does it take to apply Fresh Roof?

A: Most homes take just one day. Here's the typical timeline:

Morning: We arrive and do a final roof inspection

Mid-morning to afternoon: We spray Fresh Roof on every inch of your roof

Late afternoon: We clean up and explain what happens next

The whole process is usually done in 4-6 hours depending on your roof size.

Q: What happens to my roof right after Fresh Roof is applied?

A: You'll notice the Fresh Roof looks milky white when we first spray it. Don't worry - this is normal! Within 2-4 hours, it soaks completely into your shingles and dries clear.

After about 24 hours, your shingles will start looking richer and newer. The full benefits develop over the first few weeks as Fresh Roof continues working inside your shingles.

Q: Do I need to clean my roof before Fresh Roof?

A: Sometimes. If your roof has moss, thick algae, or lots of debris, we need to clean it first. Light dirt and normal wear don't need cleaning.

We offer roof cleaning services to get your roof ready for Fresh Roof treatment. This ensures the best results and the longest-lasting protection.

Weather and Timing Questions

Q: What time of year is best for Fresh Roof application?

A: We can apply Fresh Roof almost any time of year in Virginia, but some seasons are better than others:

Best times:

  • Spring and Fall - mild temperatures and less rain

  • Summer - warm weather helps Fresh Roof penetrate better

  • Winter - flexible scheduling, requires temperatures above 45 degrees

Times to avoid:

  • During heavy rain or snow

  • Extremely cold days (below 40°F)

  • 2 hours or less before big storms

Q: What if it rains after Fresh Roof is applied?

A: Light rain after 2-4 hours is fine. Fresh Roof penetrates quickly and becomes part of your shingles.

We check the weather forecast before every application to make sure you get the best results. If unexpected rain comes, we may need to reschedule for your protection.

Warranty and Guarantee Questions

Q: What exactly does your warranty cover?

A: Our 6-year warranty covers the Fresh Roof treatment performance. This means:

Covered:

  • Fresh Roof failing to perform as promised

  • Loss of flexibility and protection

Not covered:

  • Normal wear and tear

  • Storm damage from hail, falling trees, etc.

  • Problems that existed before treatment

We stand behind our work and will make things right if Fresh Roof doesn't perform as expected.

Q: What if Fresh Roof doesn't work on my roof?

A: This is extremely rare (less than 2% of cases), but if your roof isn't suitable for Fresh Roof, we'll tell you upfront during the free assessment.

We won't apply Fresh Roof if:

  • Your shingles are already too damaged

  • There aren't enough protective granules left

  • The roof structure has major problems

Honesty is our policy. We'd rather lose a sale than disappoint a customer with results that won't last.

Maintenance After Fresh Roof

Q: Do I need to do anything special to maintain my roof after Fresh Roof?

A: Not really! Fresh Roof makes maintenance easier, not harder. Here's what we recommend:

Easy maintenance:

  • Keep gutters clean (same as always)

  • Remove large debris like branches

  • Have us inspect it every few years

What you DON't need:

  • Special cleaning products

  • Frequent reapplications

  • Expensive maintenance programs

Fresh Roof actually includes a mold inhibitor that helps prevent black streaks from coming back!

Q: Can I still do roof repairs after Fresh Roof?

A: Yes! Fresh Roof doesn't interfere with normal roof repairs. If you need to replace a few damaged shingles or fix flashing, any qualified roofer can do the work.

Fresh Roof might actually make small repairs less likely because it strengthens your existing shingles and helps them resist damage.

Choosing a Contractor

Q: Why not use my pressure washing guy who claims they have the same or better product?

Fresh Roof rejuvenation is often mistaken or insulted by pressure washers because they don’t understand the Fresh Roof product when compared to a traditional roof cleaning. Other times they just don’t like that we offer something so awesome at affordable prices.

Red flags to watch for:

  • Won't show certification

  • Prices way below everyone else

  • High-pressure sales tactics

  • Won't provide written estimates

  • No local references

Always get multiple quotes and choose based on experience and reputation, not just price.
