🔍 FAQ - Shingle Rejuvenation

Would you replace your entire AC system just because it’s 10 years old — or would you service it to keep it running another 5 to 10 years?

That’s the logic behind roof rejuvenation. If your shingles still have life left in them, why throw away thousands of dollars on a full replacement before it’s truly necessary?

Rejuvenation isn’t just affordable — it’s often the smartest choice.

A full roof replacement can be expensive, messy, and disruptive. Rejuvenation costs a fraction of that and is usually completed in just one day. You’ll extend your roof’s life, enhance its appearance, and possibly avoid being forced into a premature replacement by your insurance company.

We also provide detailed documentation showing your roof is being properly maintained — which can help you during insurance renewals and inspections.

Plus, rejuvenation is the greener option. You help reduce landfill waste and save the energy and raw materials used to produce new shingles. If your roof qualifies, rejuvenation is a smart, sustainable investment that protects your property and your wallet.

Let’s inspect your roof first — if it’s not a good fit for treatment, we’ll let you know. But if it is, rejuvenation gives you a powerful way to extend its life without the cost and chaos of a full tear-off.

Real Science. Real Results.

Bright Green Roof’s Preservation Oil is not a sealant or surface coating — it chemically restores aging shingles by:

• Replenishing lost oils
• Restoring flexibility and weather resistance
• Reducing granule loss and cracking
• Improving hail, fire, and wind resistance

✅ Backed by ASTM testing:

• Pliability (D3462)
• Granule adhesion (D7111)
• Fire resistance and weatherability (D6381)

Treatment is only applied when the roof qualifies.

We Only Rejuvenate When It Makes Sense

We don’t treat every roof. If shingles are too brittle, curled, or damaged, rejuvenation won’t help — and we’ll tell you that upfront.

But for thousands of aging roofs across Florida, rejuvenation:

• Saves thousands of dollars
• Delays premature replacement
• Supports insurance inspections
• Extends useful life with confidence

Worried Insurance Might Still Deny You? We’ve Got Your Back.

If we inspect your roof and determine it's a good candidate for treatment — and it still fails an insurance inspection within 24 months — we’ll credit your rejuvenation toward a new roof, up to 100%. That’s peace of mind, guaranteed. Low risk. Real protection.

Many insurance adjusters follow internal policies that only support full roof replacements. Their job is to protect the carrier’s bottom line — not yours. That’s why we work with independent, ethical inspectors who prioritize what's best for you and your roof.

Roofing contractors often make the most money on full replacements. Rejuvenation challenges that model, so it’s no surprise many dismiss it without fully understanding the science behind it. We’ve been in the roofing space for nearly two decades and only partner with contractors who see the value in helping homeowners extend the life of their roof affordably and responsibly.

Shingle manufacturers don’t just avoid recommending rejuvenation — they avoid recommending any post-installation treatment. Why? Because their business depends on selling new shingles, not making old ones last longer. It’s understandable from a business standpoint. That said, we’re now hearing that several manufacturers are developing their own versions of roof-preserving products. When they have something that helps their shingles last longer — you can bet they’ll market it hard.

As for skeptics, we get it. The early days of this industry were messy — some companies made big promises they couldn’t back up. That’s not us. We inspect every roof thoroughly and only recommend treatment if the roof is a good candidate. If it’s not, we explore other alternatives.

It’s Not About Roof Age — It’s About Lawsuits

Florida insurance premiums are skyrocketing not because of aging roofs, but because of abuse in the roofing claims process.

• Florida accounts for nearly 80% of U.S. roofing-related lawsuits
• Many claims were inflated or driven by aggressive contractors
• Billions lost forced insurers to raise premiums or leave the state

Rejuvenation offers a middle ground:

Preserve the roof. Prove its condition. Avoid replacement.

You Have the Right to an Inspection

By law, your insurance provider cannot deny coverage just because your shingle roof is over 15 years old.

Florida statute allows homeowners to:

• Get a roof inspection
• Prove 5+ years of useful life
• Require the insurer to honor or renew the policy

We work with qualified inspectors who help certify this — and our rejuvenation treatment often helps roofs meet that standard.

No — but we understand the skepticism.

In the early days, some companies overpromised and underdelivered. They treated every roof whether it was a good fit or not, skipped inspections, and made exaggerated claims about “adding decades” or guaranteeing insurance renewals. That created confusion and gave critics fuel.

We do things differently. At Bright Green Roof, we:

• Inspect every roof before treatment — and turn away jobs that aren’t a good fit
• Use our USDA Certified 100% Biobased product backed by ASTM-compliant lab testing
• Provide transparent, written warranties
• Never promise miracles — just proven results on qualified roofs

Rejuvenation isn’t a scam, and it’s not a replacement. It’s smart, science-backed maintenance that extends roof life — when applied responsibly.

Roof Reuse > Roof Replacement

Every year, millions of perfectly restorable shingles are sent to landfills. Here's why rejuvenation is the better path:

• Shingles take 400+ years to break down
• Manufacturing replacements creates carbon emissions
• Most torn-off shingles still have multiple layers in good shape
