If your asphalt shingles are starting to show their age, a full roof replacement may not be your only option.
Bright Green Roof helps Red Deer homeowners preserve aging asphalt shingles, extending their usable life and postponing the cost of replacement when the roof is still in good enough condition to qualify.
We start with a free satellite roof measurement to give you an accurate quote. Before any treatment, we inspect the roof in person to make sure rejuvenation is actually the right option.
An older roof does not automatically mean you need a new one.
As asphalt shingles age, they gradually lose the oils that help keep them flexible. Homeowners may start noticing things like faded colour, increased granule loss, brittle shingles, or some curling around the edges.
Those are signs that the roof is aging, but they do not always mean the roof has failed.If the shingles are still structurally sound, roof rejuvenation may be able to slow that deterioration, restore flexibility, improve granule adhesion, and help you get more usable life from the roof you already have.
The important part is timing.Rejuvenation works best while the roof is still in preservable condition. Waiting until shingles are badly cracked, extensively curled, missing, leaking, or the roof has underlying structural problems can mean the opportunity for preservation has already passed.
That is why we inspect every roof before treatment.
Some roofs may only need a few small repairs before they can be rejuvenated. Others are simply too far along and are better candidates for repair or replacement.
Our goal is not to spray every roof. It is to help you understand what condition your roof is actually in, and whether preserving it still makes sense.
Asphalt shingles don't suddenly fail when they reach a certain age. They gradually dry out, lose flexibility and become more vulnerable to cracking, curling and granule loss. Roof rejuvenation is designed to slow that process while the shingles are still in preservable condition.
The asphalt inside your shingles contains oils that help keep them flexible. Years of sun, heat, oxidation and Alberta weather gradually cause those oils to diminish.
As the shingles become drier, they can become more brittle, shed granules more easily and become increasingly prone to cracking and edge curling.
Bright Green Roof applies a 100% biobased, plant-based treatment directly to qualified asphalt shingles.
The treatment is designed to penetrate the shingle rather than simply coat the surface, helping restore some of the flexibility and protective properties lost through aging.
This project includes treated and untreated sections of the same roof, making the difference particularly easy to see.
Roofs in Red Deer deal with a lot over the course of a year.
Hot, dry summer days can accelerate the loss of oils from asphalt shingles, while cold winters make already-dry shingles less flexible. Between those extremes, repeated temperature changes can put additional stress on roofing materials.

Red Deer temperatures can move above and below freezing repeatedly through the colder months.
Moisture can work its way into small gaps and vulnerable areas, freeze, expand and then thaw again. Over time, that repeated movement can contribute to wear in shingles that are already becoming dry and brittle.
Winter gets most of the attention in Alberta, but summer matters too.
UV exposure, heat and dry conditions all contribute to the oxidation and gradual drying of asphalt shingles. The effect builds slowly over years rather than appearing after one particularly hot summer.
Not every section of your roof experiences the same conditions.
Roof orientation, surrounding trees, nearby buildings and how exposed your home is can all affect how quickly different areas age. One slope may receive more direct sunlight while another takes more wind or stays damp longer after rain and snow.
That is why two roofs of the same age, or even two sides of the same roof, can be in very different condition.
There is no single age at which a Red Deer roof automatically needs rejuvenation or replacement.
What matters is the condition of the shingles.
A roof that is beginning to dry out but is still structurally sound may be an excellent candidate for preservation. A roof with extensive cracking, severe curling, leaks or other significant damage may already require repairs or replacement.
Roof rejuvenation works best when asphalt shingles are aging, but still structurally sound.Things like fading, dryness, granule loss and early edge curling do not automatically mean your roof needs to be replaced. But significant leaks, severe cracking, widespread missing shingles or structural damage may mean the roof has already gone beyond what rejuvenation can address.
The important thing is finding out where your roof actually stands.
We put together a complete guide explaining what we look for, which signs are encouraging, which ones can be repaired, and when replacement may be the better option.
The first step is a satellite measurement of your roof.
This gives us the roof size we need to prepare an initial quote without requiring you to book an on-site visit first.
If the pricing makes sense, we move on to the qualification inspection.
Before we rejuvenate any roof, the Bright Green Roof Red Deer team inspects the shingles to make sure they are still suitable for treatment.
We look at the overall condition of the roof, including shingle flexibility, cracking, curling, granule loss and any areas that may require attention.If there are a few small repairs needed before treatment, we will identify them and discuss them with you separately.
And if the roof is too far gone for rejuvenation, we will tell you.
Now comes the magic. Our proprietary solution is carefully sprayed onto your roof, where it quickly absorbs into the shingles. This USDA Certified Biobased formula replenishes the natural oils and resins that your shingles need to stay flexible and durable.
Think of it like a nourishing treatment for your roof, giving it new life and strength.
We are using a sustainably resourced, plant-based, non-toxic, environmentally friendly shingle preservation solution that’s been approved as a USDA Certified Biobased Product.
Our USDA Certified Biobased Product replenishes the oil within the shingle matt that has been lost due to weathering. This helps restore the shingle's colouring and pliability to allow the shingle to have flexibility, while increasing protection against damaging UV rays, rain, wind, snow and ice.
Depending on the condition of your shingles, the earliest you would want to begin your preservation program is at the 5-year mark. Please keep an eye on the condition of your roof and the volume of granular shingle surface that your find in your gutter. Older roofs that are 10-15 years old are also perfect candidates for beginning the preservation program. If your shingles are 10 years or older, you would want to initiate your preservation program, spraying the roof every 5 years, which will significantly extend the total life of your roof. Our product can be applied to a roof up to 3 times.
The shingle preservation treatment is a fraction of the cost and will save you thousands compared to the cost of a total roof replacement. The price of the service depends on the roof pitch and the number of stories, but it generally costs 80% less than a roof replacement. Just contact us for a free quote!
Having your Roof Preserved with Bright Green Roof will instantly restores lost oils, making the shingle pliable, increasing flexibility, and enhancing the color to a "like-new condition". This will reduce cracking and edge curling. Each treatment comes with a transferable 5-year warranty to ensure that the asphalt shingle will continue to be pliable and flexible for 5 years after the treatment, helping the shingles to expand and contract with the seasons and weather elements. Should you experience issues with the pliability of the shingles and they indeed begin to curl, simply contact your local Bright Green Roof dealer and your roof will be re-treated free of charge.
