When the Roof Is the Reason the Solar Deal Dies

You quoted the system. The numbers worked. Then the roof came up, and now the customer is looking at a $20,000 reroof nobody planned for. We treat the roof instead, and hand the customer back to you ready to install.

Free assessments for your customers. No charge to refer. We do not sell solar and we never will.

The dead deal

“My Roof Is Too Old to Put Solar On”

Every installer in Calgary has lost contracts to that sentence. The homeowner wants the system, the payback maths works, and then somebody looks up and notices the shingles are fifteen years old.

At that point you are no longer selling solar. You are asking someone to fund a roof replacement first, and most of those conversations quietly end there.

The reason it ends the deal is that the only two options on the table are both bad: put a 25 year system on a roof with 8 years left, or spend $18,000 to $25,000 before the solar conversation can even resume.

The system is fine. The surface underneath it is what stalls the sale.

The third option

Treat the Roof, Keep the Contract

GoNano NuRoof is a nano-penetrating treatment that soaks into the shingle and restores its flexibility, rather than sitting on top of it as a coating. On a roof that still has structure left, it adds 10 to 15 years of life with a written warranty, in one day, for roughly a fifth of what a replacement costs.

Your customer keeps their money

About $3,750 on an average 2,500 sq ft Calgary roof instead of $18,000 to $25,000. That leaves the solar budget intact, which is the entire point.

You close the deal you were losing

The roof objection stops being terminal. The customer comes back to you with a treated roof and a warranty in hand, usually within a week or two.

No callback in eight years

A roof that fails under an array you installed becomes your problem in the customer’s mind, whether or not it is your responsibility. Aligning the two horizons removes that.

How it works

How a Referral Actually Runs

1. You send them to us

A name and a phone number is enough. You can hand it over on site or send it after the fact. There is no portal to log into and no paperwork.

2. We assess for free

We get on the roof, photograph it, and give the homeowner a straight answer. If the roof is too far gone we say so and tell them it needs replacing, because pretending otherwise would come back on both of us.

3. They come back to you

Treated roof, written warranty, solar budget untouched. We do not sell solar, we do not quote solar, and we do not pass your customer to anyone else.

Referrals run both ways. We are on Calgary roofs every week, and a fair number of the homeowners we treat are already thinking about panels. If we are working with you, that is who we point them at.

Being straight with you

When Treatment Is Not the Answer

Roof rejuvenation is not a fix for a failing roof. If the shingles are cracked through, badly cupped, or the mat underneath has gone, the roof needs replacing and we will tell your customer exactly that.

About half the roofs we look at do not need treating yet either. Sending us a customer whose roof is genuinely fine costs you nothing and gets them a free inspection that tells them so in writing, which tends to unstick the solar decision on its own.

We would rather turn work away than have an installer send us three customers and hear back that we oversold two of them.

Questions

Installer Questions

Do you sell solar?

No. We treat and repair roofs. We do not quote solar, we do not install it, and we have no interest in starting. Your customer stays your customer.

Does it cost my customer anything to be assessed?

No. The assessment is free and there is no obligation at the end of it, whether or not the roof turns out to be worth treating.

How long does the treatment take?

One day on site for a typical Calgary home. Your install can be scheduled straight after.

Can you treat around an array we have already installed?

Yes. We treat the exposed shingle around and between the panel rows. No panel removal and no electrical work, so nothing lands back on you.

What if the roof is genuinely finished?

We tell the homeowner it needs replacing. We would rather lose one job than send a customer back to you with a treated roof that was never going to hold.

What are the commercial terms?

That depends on how we end up working together, so we would rather agree it with you directly than publish a number here. Send the form and we will talk it through.
