The Challenge

Linda and George Patterson have lived in their home for over 20 years. Their asphalt shingle roof—installed 16 years ago—was starting to show signs of wear: degranulation, minor cracking, and some fibreglass mat showing. 

They received multiple quotes for a full roof replacement, ranging from $14,000 to $17,000—a cost that wasn’t in their current retirement budget.

With no active leaks and the underlying structure still in good shape, they wondered: Is there a way to extend the life of their current roof without committing to a full replacement?

 

The Nanoclad Solution

After speaking with a local roofing contractor, they were referred to Nanoclad—a spray-applied roof coating designed to rejuvenate and protect aging asphalt shingles.

Nanoclad offered a cost-effective, fast solution that could buy them 10 or more years before needing a full roof replacement—at a fraction of the cost.

 

Installation

  • Assessment & Approval: The Nanoclad team inspected the roof and confirmed it was a great candidate for coating: structurally sound, but showing UV damage and weathering.
  • Cleaning & Prep: The surface was cleaned of debris, moss, and dirt buildup.
  • Application: A single-day spray application sealed the shingles, restored their protective layer, and improved reflectivity—helping reduce heat absorption in the summer.

 

The Results

  • Extended Roof Life: Linda and George now expect to get 10–12 more years out of their roof.
  • Saved Thousands: Nanoclad cost a fraction of full replacement, allowing them to delay a major expense without compromising on protection.
  • Peace of Mind: Without the worry over the high cost of an imminent roof replacement, Linda & George now have time to save for a future replacement when that time eventually comes. 

 

Customer Feedback

“We weren’t ready for the cost of a full roof replacement, but we didn’t want to risk letting things get worse. Nanoclad was the perfect in-between solution—fast, affordable, and it made our roof look almost new again.”
