It is safe to say that most homeowners do not like the appearance of dried out shingles that are beginning to curl. Not only is it a sore sight, but it also decreases the value of your home. Most asphalt roof shingles last 20 to 40 years, but standard roof warranties span about 15 to 20 years. In other words, complete roof replacements happen more often than the shingles’ estimated life expectancy. Depending on the region and environmental conditions, asphalt roofs typically start showing signs of aging after 8 to 10 years. The granular coating on the shingles begins to wash into the gutters once the oils dry up, causing the shingles to lose their ability to hold the granular in place. As a result, the shingles are left exposed to cracking and failing at their intended purpose. However, if the shingles are treated early enough, the life span can extend longer than originally estimated.
You might now be asking yourself how you can extend your shingles’ life expectancy to get the most out of your investment? Let’s talk about Greener Shingles asphalt rejuvenator.
