5 Signs Your Asphalt Shingles Need Rejuvenation Spray

February 28, 2025

Signs Your Asphalt Roof Shingles Need Rejuvenation

Asphalt shingles are designed to protect your home from the elements, but over time, they can deteriorate due to exposure to sun, rain, wind, and temperature fluctuations. Instead of immediately opting for a costly roof replacement, consider rejuvenating your shingles to restore their color and extend their lifespan. Here are five signs that indicate your asphalt shingles may need rejuvenation:


1. Fading or Discoloration

If your roof has lost its original color and appears dull or washed out, it’s a sign that the protective oils in the shingles have dried out. UV exposure and weathering cause the granules on your shingles to fade, making your roof look older than it really is. A rejuvenation treatment can help bring back the vibrant color and improve the roof's appearance.


2. Loss of Granules

Check your gutters and downspouts for an accumulation of shingle granules. These granules provide a protective layer that shields shingles from UV damage. If you notice excessive granule loss, your shingles are becoming weak and more susceptible to cracking, leaks, and premature aging. Rejuvenation products can help replenish lost oils and slow down further deterioration.


3. Brittle or Cracked Shingles

Over time, shingles can become dry and brittle, leading to cracking or curling at the edges. This not only makes your roof less effective at shedding water but also increases the risk of shingles breaking off during storms. A rejuvenation treatment can restore flexibility to the shingles, helping them withstand the elements for years to come.


4. Roof is More Than 6 Years Old

If your roof is over six years old, it's time to consider rejuvenation. The sooner you treat it with Fresh Roof, the better chance you have of getting the full 30-plus years out of your roof. Proactive maintenance can help restore lost oils and keep your shingles in optimal condition.


5. Moss, Algae, or Stains

If your roof has dark streaks or patches of moss and algae, it’s not just an aesthetic issue—it’s a sign that moisture retention is accelerating roof deterioration. Rejuvenation treatments can help prevent further staining and inhibit future growth, keeping your roof looking cleaner and lasting longer.


Extend the Life of Your Roof with Rejuvenation

Rather than spending thousands on a full roof replacement, consider an asphalt shingle rejuvenation treatment. Products like Fresh Roof’s can help restore color, flexibility, and protection to aging shingles, extending their lifespan and saving you money.

If you've noticed any of these signs on your roof, now is the time to take action. Rejuvenating your asphalt shingles can improve their performance and keep your home protected for years to come.
