The curing window
The surface needs 24 to 48 hours of dry weather after application to cure. We watch the forecast and plan the visit around it, and if rain arrives inside that window we return at no charge.
Nobody walks on the roof during that time. After it, the roof is back to normal use.
Nothing to reapply
There is no product to put on later and no sealer to renew: the treatment has gone into the shingle, which is the difference from a coating that has to be maintained as a film.
That is also why the care list is short. The roof is doing its own job again, and the work is keeping things out of its way.
The ordinary care that matters
Most roof problems that are not storm damage are water problems, and most water problems start where water is not leaving: a blocked gutter, a downpipe discharging against the house, a valley holding debris.
Growth is the other one. On a shaded slope it holds moisture against the surface, which is the opposite of what the treatment is for.
- Clear gutters and downpipes so water leaves the roof
- Keep debris off valleys and out of the water paths
- Remove growth from the shaded slopes
- Fix a leak when it appears rather than at the end of a season
- Note the date of any repair on the roof
When to call us instead
If water appears inside, or a shingle lifts, that is a report rather than a maintenance task. The remedy starts with a free inspection, and the first question is where the water or the damage is coming from.
If the roof is simply drying out again years later, the answer is a re-treatment, and the warranty includes a 20 percent price lock on that future work.
The first month
Nothing needs doing in the first month beyond watching. If water appears inside, report it rather than waiting for a convenient moment, because the inspection is free and the cause is easier to establish early.
