Treating the shingles under and around a solar array adds 10 to 15 years of roof life, so the roof and the system finish together instead of the roof giving out first.
Free. In person. No pressure. If your roof does not qualify, we tell you that too.
A solar system is built for about 25 years. A Calgary asphalt shingle roof has a working life of roughly 20 to 25 years, and plenty of roofs are already halfway through that when the panels go on. Hail, chinook freeze-thaw cycles and UV pull the oils out of asphalt here faster than in most of the country.
That mismatch is the whole issue. If the roof goes first, the array has to come off so the roof can be replaced, then go back on. None of that was in anyone’s budget.
A 25 year system on a roof with 10 years left is a bill waiting to happen.
This is the cheap version. We treat the shingles first, on a bare roof with nothing in the way, and your installer then mounts the array on a surface that carries a written 10 to 15 year warranty. One day of work, before anything gets complicated.
We treat the exposed shingle around and between the panel rows. No panel removal, no electrical work, no interruption to generation. The roof under the array is the part that was going to fail first, and this is how you buy it another decade.
Figures below are Calgary averages on a 2,500 sq ft roof. Your own number depends on size, pitch and the condition the shingles are actually in, which is what the free assessment is for.
Total: $21,000 to $38,000, on top of what the solar system cost in the first place.
Total: about $3,750, and the roof and the array now finish on roughly the same horizon.
This is the surface we treat. The panels stay exactly where they are.
GoNano NuRoof is not paint and it is not a surface sealant. It is a nano-penetrating treatment that soaks into the shingle itself, restoring flexibility and adding a water-shedding barrier from within the material.
That is exactly why it works around an existing array. There is no film building up on top, nothing that needs to bridge under a panel, and no reason to lift hardware to reach the surface that matters.
We come out, get on the roof, and check the shingle condition around the array. No charge, and no obligation at the end of it.
If the roof qualifies, the treatment goes on in a single visit. Your system keeps generating the whole time.
You get the warranty in writing, with the term set by the condition the roof was in when we treated it.
If the shingles are already past the point where treatment does anything useful, we will tell you. A roof that is genuinely failing needs replacing, and the honest advice there is to deal with it properly rather than spend money delaying it by a year.
About half the roofs we look at do not need treating yet. We say so, and you have had a free inspection of the roof under your array either way.

Tell us where the house is and whether the panels are up yet. We will come out, look at the shingles properly, and give you a straight answer.
We cover Calgary, Airdrie, Cochrane, Okotoks, Chestermere and Strathmore.
Takes a minute. We call you back to set a time.
No. We treat the exposed shingle around and between the panel rows. There is no panel removal and no electrical work involved in the treatment itself.
No. The system keeps running while we work. There is nothing to disconnect.
Before, if you have the choice. A bare roof is quicker and there is nothing in the way, so it is the cheaper version of the same job. After is still very much worth doing.
That is the part of the roof already most sheltered from UV and hail. The exposed runs around and between the rows are where the weathering actually happens, and that is what we treat.
Between 10 and 15 years on the treated surface, with the exact term set by the product used and the condition of the roof at the time we treat it. You get it in writing. Full detail is on our warranty page.
About $3,750 on an average 2,500 sq ft Calgary roof. Size, pitch and condition move that number, which is why the assessment is free and ends with a firm price rather than a guess.
We look at the shingles around your array, show you the photos, and tell you honestly whether treating it is worth your money.
