How do I know my shingles are dried out?
Asphalt roofs usually start showing signs of aging after five to ten years depending on region and environmental conditions. The shingle’s granular coating starts washing into the gutters as the essential oils dry up, losing the ability to hold the granular in place. Greener Shingles Canada's bio-based rejuvenation product was tested and proven to have a 86% better granular adhesion on treated shingles versus untreated.
When used as a roof maintenance product, Greener Shingles increases shingle flexibility, helps keep granular in place, helps protect the surface, suffocate moss, and improves fire resistance, preserving and rejuvenating the shingles to last longer, keeping them on your roof where they belong.

What is it made out of?

Greener Shingles Rejuvenator has been lab tested and field proven to decrease the affect of hail damage, makes asphalt shingles 40% more flame resistant, and improves granular adhesion by 86%.

Q: What does the warranty cover?
A: Our five-year prorated warranty covers the fact that Greener Shingles will extend the life of the shingle five years past the expected life of the shingle in the environment they are in, by applying our rejuvenation system to your shingles that have 70% or more granulation remaining to retain that granulation. Some owners want to slow the aging process on older shingles. Depending on how old they are, we may not be able to warranty a shingle that is starting to show signs of extreme aging, like when the shingles are starting to curl up. The warranty is transferable to the next homeowner.
Q: How do I know if my shingles need rejuvenation?
