What are you applying to my roof?
A sustainably sourced, plant-based, non-toxic, environmentally friendly shingle preservation solution that has been approved as a USDA Certified Biobased Product.
How does the treatment work?
Our USDA Certified Biobased Product replenishes the oil within the shingle mat that has been lost to weathering. This restores the shingle's coloring and pliability so it can flex, while increasing protection against damaging UV rays, rain, wind, snow and ice.
When can I have a treatment done?
Depending on the condition of your shingles, the earliest you would want to begin your preservation program is at the 5-year mark. Keep an eye on your roof and the amount of shingle granules you find in your gutters. Roofs 10 to 15 years old are also perfect candidates. After that, spray the roof every 5 years. Our product can be applied to a roof up to 3 times.
How does the price compare to a total roof replacement?
The treatment is a fraction of the cost and will save you thousands compared to a total roof replacement. The price depends on the roof pitch and the number of stories, but it generally costs 80% less than a roof replacement.
Do you offer a guarantee?
Yes. The treatment comes with a transferable 5-year warranty that the shingles will stay pliable and flexible, expanding and contracting with the seasons. If they do begin to curl, contact your local Bright Green Roof dealer and your roof will be re-treated free of charge.
My shingles are curling! What do I do?
We can treat curled shingles to reduce the severity of the curling and replenish lost oils. Depending on how severe the existing curling is, we offer a 1 to 3 year life extension guarantee.
How long does the treatment take?
About an hour for most homes. There's no tear-off, no dumpster in the driveway and no mess.
When can I go back on my roof?
The solution is about 80% dry in an hour and fully cured within 4 hours. We recommend staying off the roof for 24 hours.
What weather do you need to spray?
The roof has to be dry, with no rain or high wind, and the temperature above about 3°C (37°F).
Is it safe for my family, pets and garden?
Yes. It's a plant-based, non-toxic solution and a USDA Certified Biobased Product.
Does the warranty transfer if I sell my home?
Yes. The 5-year warranty is transferable, so it goes to the new owner.
How many times can my roof be treated?
Up to 3 times, about every 5 years.
How much solution does my roof need?
One gallon covers about 750 sq ft. A 2,000 sq ft roof takes about 2.7 gallons.
