If you’ve been told your roof is “at the end of its life,” you may want a second opinion. In Oshawa, Whitby, and Ajax, many asphalt roofs are replaced years before they actually need to be.
Here are 7 signs your roof may be a candidate for rejuvenation instead of replacement:
- Shingles are dry but not missing
- Granule loss is visible but moderate
- No active leaks inside the home
- Shingles are flexible but aging
- Roof is 8–18 years old
- No major structural sagging
- Attic ventilation is adequate
Ontario’s freeze-thaw cycles dry out shingles over time. Often, they aren’t “dead” — they’re dehydrated. Roof rejuvenation restores flexibility and improves granule adhesion, helping extend roof life 5–15 years at a fraction of replacement cost.
Before committing to a $12,000–$20,000 roof replacement, it’s worth finding out if your roof still has life left in it.
