Can this roof be saved?
Find out before you spend a dollar. Some roofs can be restored for a fraction of the replacement cost. Some can't. The difference matters.

Determine if your TPO, EPDM, modified bitumen, or built-up roof qualifies for restoration through a coating system.

Find out if your asphalt shingle roof is a candidate for rejuvenation treatment to extend its useful life.
Take the self-assessmentThe honest answer before the sales pitch
A coating contractor will always tell you your roof can be coated — that's how they get paid. A roofer will often tell you it needs to be replaced — that's how they get paid. Neither one is incentivized to give you the honest answer.
This site helps you figure out which category your roof falls into before you invite anyone to give you a quote. Some roofs can be restored for a fraction of the replacement cost. Some can't — and coating over a roof that should be replaced is wasted money.

If your building has a flat or low-slope roof, start here
Roof coating restoration can save 50-70% compared to full replacement — when the existing roof qualifies. The key word is "when." Not every roof is a candidate, and applying a coating over a roof that needs replacement wastes your money.
- Eligibility first. Find out if your TPO, EPDM, mod bit, or BUR roof qualifies
- Chemistry matters. Silicone, acrylic, and polyurethane serve different roofs differently
- Run the numbers. Our ROI calculator shows when replacement is actually the better investment

Residential / Shingle Homeowners
If you have an asphalt shingle roof and want to explore rejuvenation
Shingle rejuvenation treatments restore flexibility to aging shingles by reintroducing oils that evaporate over time. At $1,500-3,500 per treatment, it's significantly cheaper than replacement — but it's not right for every roof.
Realistic expectation: 3-5 additional years per application. Not 15. Not permanent. Products like Roofmaxx can be valuable when applied to the right roof at the right time — and a waste of money when they're not.
