Most homeowners assume a roof that’s showing its age has only one path forward: full replacement. That assumption costs people thousands of dollars they didn’t need to spend. At M&A Contracting, we offer a smarter alternative for shingles that are drying out, losing granules, and beginning to curl—a bio-based rejuvenation treatment that restores your existing roof from the inside out. As a Certified Roof Rejuvenate USA dealer, we bring a proven, scientifically backed solution to homeowners across Buffalo, NY and surrounding areas who want to protect their investment without the disruption and expense of a tear-off.
What Roof Rejuvenation Actually Does
Asphalt shingles fail for one primary reason: they lose the natural oils that keep them flexible and waterproof. Over years of sun exposure, freeze-thaw cycles, and moisture, those oils evaporate. The shingle dries out, becomes brittle, and starts shedding the protective granules that shield it from UV damage. Once that process begins, it accelerates. Cracking, curling, and granule loss are all symptoms of the same underlying chemical breakdown.
The rejuvenation treatment we apply is a 95% USDA Certified Bio-Based oil rejuvenator engineered by Colorbiotics, a Sika company. It’s made from a unique corn-oil technology—no soy methyl esters, no harsh solvents, and nothing toxic to your family, pets, or landscaping. This is not a paint-on coating, a silica sealer, or a temporary surface treatment. It penetrates deep into the asphalt base within each shingle, replenishing lost oils, restoring original flexibility, locking loose granules back into place, and improving resistance to mold, moss, and algae growth. In short, it reverses the damage rather than hiding it.
The Science Behind the Treatment
What separates this product from anything else on the market is that it works at the molecular level. The formula targets the asphalt base within the lower tab of each shingle, where the chemistry that holds everything together first begins to break down. By reintroducing oil to that core structure, the treatment restores the surface integrity of the roofing shingles and creates an environment where organic growth is far less likely to take hold.
Every application is guaranteed to add five years of extended roof life and is backed by a fully transferable five-year warranty. That transferability matters if you plan to sell your home—it becomes a documented asset for the next owner. The treatment can be reapplied up to three times, meaning a roof that qualifies can gain up to 15 additional years of serviceable life. When you weigh that against the cost of a full replacement, the value becomes obvious. This is roof life extension and roof preservation done the right way.
Our Rejuvenation Process from Start to Finish
We don’t spray first and ask questions later. A successful rejuvenation depends on confirming the roof is a good candidate and preparing it properly. Here’s how we handle every project at M&A Contracting:
- Detailed assessment: We begin with a thorough professional inspection to verify that your shingles are a good fit for treatment. We photograph any areas of concern and review them directly with you so you understand exactly what your roof needs.
- Roof tune-up: Before applying anything, we perform a minor tune-up of the entire roofing system, focusing on flashings and the leak-prone areas where problems most often start. This ensures the treatment goes onto a sound structure.
- Bio-based spray application: The application itself is quick, clean, and safe—typically completed in under two hours. Your roof’s flexibility and waterproofing protection returns fully within 72 hours.
Because the owner is on site at every single job, you’re never dealing with a crew operating without oversight. We look over all of our work personally, because we stake our reputation on the outcome. That hands-on involvement is something we’ve carried through 18 years in business, and it’s why homeowners trust us with a treatment this important.
Who Benefits Most from Shingle Rejuvenation
Rejuvenation isn’t the right answer for every roof, and we’ll tell you honestly if yours has passed the point where treatment makes sense. But there’s a large middle ground of roofs that aren’t failing yet but are clearly aging—and those are exactly the roofs this treatment was designed for. Consider rejuvenation if you’re seeing any of the following:
- Granules in the gutters: Finding shingle granules collecting in your gutters or at downspout outlets is one of the earliest signs your shingles are drying out.
- Fading or dull appearance: A roof that has lost its uniform color and looks weathered is often a candidate before physical damage sets in.
- Minor curling or brittleness: Edges that are beginning to lift or shingles that feel stiff rather than pliable respond well to oil restoration.
- A roof in the middle of its life: Roofs roughly 8 to 15 years old frequently benefit most, gaining years of protection before replacement is ever necessary.
These situations come up constantly for the homeowners we serve throughout Kenmore, Tonawanda, Buffalo, Amherst, Eggertsville, North Tonawanda, Grand Island, & Cheekowaga, NY. A family with a 12-year-old roof that’s structurally fine but drying out can preserve it for well over a decade with periodic treatments. A homeowner preparing to sell can add documented, transferable value. A property owner managing several rentals can stretch capital budgets by rejuvenating roofs rather than replacing them all at once.
