Rejuvenation treats existing shingles that are dry but still intact; replacement removes the roof entirely. If your roof is not leaking, is roughly 10 to 20 years old and has 5 or fewer missing shingles, roof rejuvenation may be worth considering first.

When replacement is usually the conversation

A roof that is actively leaking or has many missing shingles has problems that a surface treatment is not meant to solve. Those roofs are not good candidates for rejuvenation.

When rejuvenation is worth a look

A roof that is largely intact but looks dry, faded or is starting to lose granules may be a candidate. Rejuvenation helps restore shingle flexibility and granule retention.
