FAQs

  • How do I know if my roof needs a Fresh Roof treatment?

    If your roof is at least 8 to 10 years old, it is already drying out, starting to lose granules, and would significantly benefit from a Roof Renew treatment. Typical signs your roof is starting to age are fading, granule loss, exposed fiberglass backing, shingle curling, and broken and/or weak shingles. If you take a corner of a shingle and it easily breaks up as you lift it, your roof desperately needs a Fresh Roof treatment. We will come out and do a full roof evaluation and help you identify areas that need to be corrected to help maintain the health and lifespan of your roof.



  • Does Fresh Roof come with a Warranty?

    Yes, Fresh Roof comes with a 6-year best-in-industry warranty.

  • What does the 6-year limited warranty cover?

    The 6-year warranty is fully transferable should you sell your home, and it guarantees that your shingles will maintain their flexibility (the primary reason shingles fail) for the first 6 years after treatment. If your shingles lose their flexibility during those 6 years, Magic Coat Roofing will re-apply Fresh Roof to those affected areas at no cost. But we don’t believe you’ll need to file a warranty claim, as Fresh Roof has been rigorously tested to perform as claimed.

  • How long does a treatment last?

    A treatment will last 6 years and can be repeated to extend the life of your roof by up to 18 years.

  • How long does a treatment take?

    The roof tune-up typically takes 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the repairs needed. The application of Fresh Roof typically takes only 1 to 2 hours. So the total Fresh Roof treatment should take no more than 2 to 4 hours.

  • What is the cost for a Fresh Roof treatment?

    Roof Renew costs only $0.75 - $0.95 per square foot depending on roof size, complexity and roof pitch.

  • What are the weather requirements for a treatment?

    To apply Fresh Roof, the roof must be dry and at least 36 degrees Fahrenheit. It is formulated to absorb very quickly into the shingle and will be absorbed within 2 to 3 hours of application. Once absorbed into the shingle, Fresh Roof will not wash away in the rain.

  • Will Fresh Roof change the color of my roof?

    Shingles dry out over time and take on a faded appearance. A Roof Renew treatment will help rejuvenate the original color of the shingles. This will give them a darker appearance that will look more like a new shingle, but it won’t change the actual color of the shingle.

  • Is Fresh Roof safe?

    The Fresh Roof product we use is based on all-natural soy oil treated with safe polymers and UV protectants. It is non-hazardous and poses no risk.
