Brandon Roof Rejuvenation for Home Sellers & Buyers
An inspection note saying the roof is aging can stall a sale. If the shingles are still sound, treatment is one option on the table. Tell us the closing date when you call and you will hear straight away whether a visit and a treatment can fit around it.
Where we stand in a sale
What we do
Check the shingles, tell you whether the roof is a sound candidate for treatment, and put a price on it before any work.
What the treatment does
Restores flexibility and granule hold to aging asphalt shingles. On a sound roof that commonly means another five to seven years of shingle life.
What we leave to you
How an inspector, buyer or lender views the roof is not ours to predict. Those calls belong to the people in the deal.
Where a treatment fits in the timeline
Sellers sometimes treat a weathered roof before listing so the shingles are in better shape when buyers start looking. Buyers sometimes ask about it after an inspection mentions granule loss or brittle shingles. Either way, the first step is an assessment to see whether the roof is actually a candidate, with any small fixes priced as a tune-up. You get the findings and the price in plain terms, and what happens next is between buyer and seller.
When it is worth raising
Treatment only suits some of the roofs that come up during a sale.
Worth a look
- The inspection mentions aging, brittle or granule-shedding asphalt shingles
- No leaks noted and no soft decking
- Shingles still lying flat
Not the answer
- The inspection found active leaks or rot
- Widespread cracked or missing shingles
- A roof at the end of its life
Sale questions
Will a treated roof pass the buyer's inspection?
We cannot say how any inspector will write it up, and we will not pretend to. What we can do is explain what the treatment does and show you photos of the roof before and after.
Who should call, the buyer or the seller?
Either, or an agent for them. The owner approves the work, so we will need their go-ahead and access to the roof.
Can you work to a closing date?
Give us the date when you call. Treatment needs a dry day, so you will hear honestly whether the timeline is realistic before anyone plans around it.
Did the roof come up in an inspection?
Call with the address and the closing date. We will tell you whether a roof check fits the timeline and price the treatment before anyone signs off on it.
