What Are the Best Ways to Extend Roof Life?
The best ways to extend roof life are keeping gutters clear, sealing flashings and skylights, replacing damaged shingles early, keeping the attic ventilated, and protecting the shingles with a coating.
| Action | What It Protects | Included in a Tune-Up? |
|---|---|---|
| Seal flashings and skylights | Leak points | Yes |
| Replace damaged shingles | Weak spots | Yes |
| Protective coating | Every shingle | Yes |
| Low-pressure wash | Coating bond | Yes |
| Clear gutters | Roof edges | No, homeowner task |
| Attic ventilation | Shingles from below | Checked at inspection |
Does a Roof Spray Extend Roof Life?
A roof spray made for asphalt shingles helps extend roof life on a sound roof, and it works best when the roof is repaired before it is applied.
Spray over a lifted flashing leaves the leak in place. See roof coating for asphalt shingle roofs.
How Much Longer Can a Treated Roof Last?
A roof treated with a Dura-Foam tune-up is covered for six years by warranty, and many treated roofs keep going beyond that.
Roofs treated earlier keep more life. See how long an asphalt shingle roof lasts and what a roof tune-up includes.
