Debunking the Myth: Will Rejuvenators Void Your Shingle Warranty?

Updated: Nov 29


Have you heard that applying a roof rejuvenator could void the warranty provided by the original shingle manufacturer? It's a common concern, but let's debunk this myth and shed some light on the facts of the matter.


Question: A roofer told me that rejuvenators would likely void the original shingle manufacturer's warranty. Is that true?


Answer: This misconception stems from a misunderstanding of how roof rejuvenators work. Unlike sealants or coatings that create an external barrier, our rejuvenation product penetrates the shingle, replacing what has been lost over time. It's a restorative process rather than a hindrance to your shingle's integrity.


Furthermore, it's crucial to recognize that shingle warranties have limitations, especially as roofs age. Once a roof surpasses the 10-year mark, the shingle warranty becomes less effective. Most manufacturers no longer cover labor costs beyond this point. So, even if you were to file a claim for defective materials, you'd only receive a prorated percentage of the material costs. The majority of the expenses, which often involve labor, would still be your responsibility.

In essence, shingle warranties can be misleadingly overvalued by homeowners. They are often misunderstood, particularly in terms of what they actually cover. As your roof ages, the warranty's effectiveness diminishes, making the comprehensive benefits of a rejuvenation process more appealing and financially sensible. Revitalizing your roof is a savvy investment, presenting a cost-effective remedy to prolong the lifespan beyond the confines of standard warranties. Manufacturers might exploit any excuse to dodge claims, making roof rejuvenation a good option.


Investing in roof rejuvenation not only offers a cost-effective solution to extend your roof's lifespan but also serves as a strategic measure against potential manufacturer loopholes. By understanding the nuances of your shingle warranties and dispelling misconceptions, homeowners empower themselves to make informed decisions. Remember, conducting thorough research and due diligence is key to ensuring that roof rejuvenation aligns seamlessly with your individual needs. Embracing this proactive approach not only safeguards your investment but also contributes to the longevity and resilience of your home.
