Answer: Roof rejuvenation is only for asphalt shingle roofs.

Answer: The actual application of the rejuvenation treatment is relatively quick, typically taking a few hours, depending on the size and condition of the roof.

12. What happens to the 5-year warranty on the rejuvenation treatment if I sell my house?

If your home is listed for sale and a buyer’s inspection indicates that a roof replacement is necessary, despite having had the rejuvenation treatment within the last five years, we offer a solution. Should you choose Jack Caton Roofing Company for the roof replacement, we will grant a 100% refund of your roof rejuvenation service. This policy ensures that you can proceed with the sale and roof replacement without losing the value of your initial investment in roof rejuvenation.
