How Roof X-TEND Works
Think of your roof like your own skin. When you are exposed to harsh climate conditions, your skin dries out. This can result in rashes, burns, and even cracks. It’s not that different for asphalt roofs. Roof X-TEND works by restoring and preserving the essential oils within your asphalt shingles. Over time, these shingles tend to lose their natural oils, causing the granular coating to wash into the gutters and leaving the shingles susceptible to cracking and deterioration.
What Is the Spray Made Of?
The base of these products is Methyl Ester and an emulsifier. Methyl Ester can be extracted from different sources such as cracked soy oil or recycled plant oils. A recycled source is better for the environment, but rarer. The Methyl Ester bonds with and re-softens the Maltene side of the Asphalt.
While the exact blend will vary from brand to brand, most are made from a plant-based oil that is applied topically to your roof. It dries clear and is easily washed off of surfaces with a garden hose. Most sprays are soybean oil-based and are human, pet, and plant-safe! All reputable companies will use products that have been lab tested to ensure that they are equal parts safe and effective.
Benefits of Roof X-TEND
For most homeowners, the biggest appeal of a roof rejuvenation, is the significant amount of money saved. A standard roof replacement for a roof with asphalt shingles can easily cost between $10,000-$25,000, depending on the size of your home and where you live. A roof rejuvenation, on the other hand, costs between $2000-$4000.
X-TEND the Life of Your Roof
Not only will Roof X-TEND will ensure that you do not need a new roof this year, but it can help you keep your current roof for many years to come. Most roof restorations can extend the life of your roof for 2-5 years, depending on the current condition of your roof and environmental conditions of your location.
Protect Against Environmental Damage
Restoration will only help to maintain any existing shingle damage from getting worse, and will protect them in the future.
Rejuvenate Your Roof with Roof X-TEND
Asphalt roofs will begin to show signs of deterioration after 5 years because the oils in the shingles start to dry up. Our plant-based spray completely rejuvenates your roof. Here’s why this is a good option for your roof:
• Adds – 3 years to your roof
• Rejuvenating every 2 years can guarantee up to 30 year lifespan
• Restores permeability of shingles
• Our rejuvenating spray is environmentally-friendly
• We offer a 2-year warranty on roof rejuvenation
• We offer a roof inspection, where one of our technicians will go on your roof to give it a proper assessment.
Generally, you should get your shingled asphalt roof treated after about 8-10 years. If you treat your roof in this time span, you can add about 15 years extra to its life. You can usually treat the shingles after about 15-20 years, but waiting this long can result in only adding an extra 5 years to its life.
A couple ways you can tell if your roof is drying out is if there are granules in the gutters, cracks throughout the shingles, broken corners on the shingles, black algae stains, if you find pieces of the shingles in your gutters or yard. Another easy way to tell is if your roof is older than 8-10 years.
Your roof cannot be rained on for 1 hour after it is treated in order to be successful. After an hour the spray will be absorbed into the shingles, so no rain will wash the rejuvenation spray away.
Roofs that are old and dry are usually very faded. Our rejuvenation spray will bring out the original colour of your roof from when it was brand new.
You definitely want to aim for the warmer weather. As long as your roof is not covered in snow – you should be fine with rejuvenation. Rejuvenation is possible a few hours after rain. Upon roof inspection, our experienced team members will ensure that your roof is ready for rejuvenation to ensure you get the most results out of our unique rejuvenation product.
Typically, it is 20% of the cost of a roof replacement project.
