Roof Life Extension

Get more life from the roof you already own

Your roof represents a significant investment in your home. When asphalt shingles begin showing signs of age, it can be easy to assume that complete replacement is automatically the next step. But if the roof is still structurally suitable for treatment, you may have another option.

What causes roofs to age?

Asphalt shingles spend every day exposed to the environment. Common factors that contribute to roof aging include:

Over time, shingles may become increasingly dry, brittle, faded or prone to cracking. Once the aging process begins, taking action early can give homeowners more options.

  • Sunlight, heat and UV exposure
  • Rain and moisture
  • Wind and hail
  • Temperature changes
  • Granular loss
  • Natural material aging

Can you extend the life of an asphalt shingle roof?

Depending on its existing condition, yes.

Roof life extension focuses on preserving shingles that still have usable structural life instead of allowing deterioration to continue unchecked. GoNano technology is designed to help strengthen qualifying asphalt shingles, reduce common signs of premature deterioration and support longer lasting roof performance.

The amount of additional usable life depends on factors including the condition and age of the existing roofing system and the treatment that is appropriate for it.

Five reasons homeowners extend a roof instead of replacing it

  • Get more value from your existing roof: if your asphalt shingles are still suitable for treatment, preserving them can help maximize the value of your original roofing investment.
  • Delay premature replacement: a complete roof replacement is a significant project. Extending the life of a qualifying roof may give homeowners additional time before that investment becomes necessary.
  • Strengthen aging roofing materials: GoNano technology helps reinforce qualifying asphalt shingles that have begun experiencing the effects of aging.
  • Protect against continued deterioration: addressing granular loss, dryness, brittleness and environmental exposure before they become severe can help preserve roof performance.
  • Give yourself more planning time: extending the usable life of a roof may allow homeowners to plan and budget more comfortably for future roofing needs.

Rejuvenation vs waiting

Ignoring an aging roof does not stop the aging process. Granular loss, dryness, cracking and weather exposure can continue affecting the shingles.

A proactive evaluation gives you the opportunity to understand whether the roof is still protectable. If it qualifies, rejuvenation can help preserve the roofing system during a period when doing nothing may simply allow deterioration to continue.

Two Different Paths

Roof life extension vs replacement

Roof life extension may be appropriate when

  • Asphalt shingles are aging
  • The roofing system remains structurally suitable
  • Granular loss or dryness is beginning
  • The homeowner wants to preserve the existing roof
  • Treatment can reasonably help extend its usable life

Roof replacement may be necessary when

  • The roof has reached significant failure
  • Structural problems exist
  • Damage is too extensive for rejuvenation
  • Large areas require replacement
  • The existing roofing material is no longer suitable for treatment

How long can GoNano extend roof life?

GoNano offers different protective systems depending on the age and condition of the asphalt roof. For qualifying applications, GoNano states that its technology is designed to provide years of additional protection, with certain systems designed to help extend roof life by up to 20 years.

The actual solution for your home depends on the condition of your existing shingles. An evaluation is necessary before determining what treatment may be appropriate.

The "up to 20 years" figure is GoNano’s own manufacturer statement about its systems, not a guarantee from Superior Roof Coatings. It does not mean every roof will receive another 20 years. Every roofing system eventually reaches the end of its usable life; rejuvenation is intended to help preserve qualifying shingles and delay premature replacement, not eliminate the need for future replacement.

Common Questions

Roof life extension questions

For qualifying asphalt shingle roofs, GoNano technology is designed to help extend usable roof life by protecting and reinforcing existing roofing materials. The amount of additional life depends on the current condition of the roof and the appropriate treatment.
The GoNano information supplied to us indicates that qualifying systems may provide up to 20 years of additional roof life, depending on the treatment and the condition of the roof. This does not mean that every roof will automatically receive another 20 years. The existing roof must first be evaluated to determine what solution may be appropriate.
If an existing asphalt shingle roof still has usable structural life, protecting it may help homeowners get additional value from their original roofing investment. It can also provide more time to plan and prepare for eventual roof replacement.
Yes. Every roofing system eventually reaches the end of its usable life. Roof rejuvenation is intended to help preserve qualifying shingles and delay premature replacement, not eliminate the need for future roof replacement forever.
