Question 1

What is Bright Green Roof?

Accepted Answer

Bright Green Roof is a cost-effective alternative to a full roof replacement. Our 100% active, USDA Certified Biobased shingle rejuvenation solution is applied to your shingles to add additional life, restore color, and improve moisture resistance.

Question 2

How much additional life is added to my roof?

Accepted Answer

Each application of our Shingle Rejuvenation solution will add 5-10 years of additional life to your roof. Application of our product can be performed up to three times (every 5 years), which can double the useful life of your roof if the process is started when the roof is 7 to 10 years old and still in great condition.

Question 3

What does the product do for shingles?

Accepted Answer

The shingle rejuvenation solution restores shingles by replenishing lost oils, enhancing pliability, and preventing cracking and curling while also slowing the rate of granular surface loss. It also provides superior resistance to environmental factors like UV rays, rain, and snow.

Question 4

Does the product enhance the roof’s appearance?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the shingle rejuvenation solution immediately restores the roof’s original color, shine, and vibrancy, making it look like new.

Question 5

What exactly is applied to my roof?

Accepted Answer

We use a proprietary USDA Certified Biobased Product, free from chemicals and derived from natural plant oils. It’s safe for humans, animals, your home and landscaping.

Question 6

When should I start the shingle preservation process?

Accepted Answer

It’s best to apply the product when your roof is 5 to 15 years old, although we have treated roofs that are 25 years old. Older roofs may have deteriorated to a point where the only option is a complete roof replacement. But if your roof is still in good condition, our Shingle Rejuvenation solution can be applied to add valuable life and restore the original colour of your roof, making it look brand new.

Question 7

What age of shingles can this product be applied to?

Accepted Answer

It’s ideal for roofs between 5–15 years old. We don’t treat roofs newer than 5 years, as these shingles still contain most of the petro-chemical oils. Roofs older than 20 years may still be treated as long as they’re still in good condition (no cracking, and still retaining most of the granular surface), although older roofs may only allow for one or two applications of the product.

Question 8

Can my roof be treated if the shingles are curling?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the shingle rejuvenation solution will increase the shingle’s pliability, and in combination with the sun, the shingles will typically lay flat again within 48hrs of applying the product.

Question 9

How much does shingle preservation cost?

Accepted Answer

The cost of our service is typically 10-15% of the cost of an average roof replacement. The product can be applied up to three times, every five years, and will roughly double the life of your roof, for significantly less money than replacing your roof. It’s the perfect solution to delay a costly roof replacement for homeowners who expect to sell their home in five to ten years.

Question 10

Will this change the colour of my roof?

Accepted Answer

Our USDA Certified Biobased Product will deepen and enrich the original colour of your roof, almost making it look brand new! Our clients are always thrilled with the restored appearance and enhanced curb appeal. It will NOT turn your roof green! Our service is only green for the environment, keeping shingles out of landfills, while also keeping some green in your wallet!

Question 11

Does the roof need to be cleaned prior to treatment?

Accepted Answer

Most roofs do not require cleaning, and Bright Green Roof will use a leaf blower to remove any plant matter from your roof prior to treatment. Some roofs that are shaded by trees may develop moss. In these situations, we can apply a solution to kill the moss and wash the affected areas a couple days prior to applying the shingle rejuvenation solution.

Question 12

Do you offer a warranty or guarantee?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we offer a 5-year warranty against further shingle curling. If at any point during the 5-year warranty period you notice any additional curling of your shingles, Bright Green Roof will re-apply the Shingle Rejuvenation solution to your roof free of charge.

Question 13

Does weather affect the application process?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the shingle rejuvenation solution requires the temperature to be at least 3°C (38°F) to properly penetrate your shingles. There is not a maximum temperature for application. It’s important that the roof is dry prior to application, although it isn’t an issue if it rains within a few hours after application. Wind can also be an issue and your service may be rescheduled if it’s an extremely windy day.

Question 14

What happens if there is over-spray?

Accepted Answer

One team member stays on the ground throughout the whole process. Prior to applying the product, and during the application, this team member will use a hose to spray your home and outside elements (patio furniture, sheds, BBQ, etc.) with water as a precaution. The water will protect your home’s brick or siding from any over-spray or wind taking hold of the shingle preservation solution. Our team also carries car covers and may cover your vehicle prior to the application. Drop clothes are also used as an added measure to protect your driveway from the application equipment.

Question 15

My roof is leaking… will this product help?

Accepted Answer

The shingle preservation solution will not cure an existing leak in your roof. We recommend having a professional roofing contractor assess and repair the issue prior to applying the shingle rejuvenation solution.

Question 16

How many Bright Green Roof Dealers are in North America?

Accepted Answer

Bright Green Roof Southwest Oregon is one of over 50 Bright Green Roof Dealers in North America, and the first to offer shingle preservation services in Brookings and surrounding areas.
