Read CAREFULLY...... It says on their own web site that this will void your shingle warranty. It also says the you are NOT to seal the shingle seams. The only way to do this is to get up close and personal with the roof. I don't know about you all but I am not getting on some of these roofs around here. I can hit the peak just fine with my delavan.

Here is an ARMA bulletin on field coatings. Read it and understand. Their product probably does work but at what cost to the home owner and possibly to you and your business?

Besides if this is a new product where is the research? I want proof it does not hurt the shingles.

Hello there and thank you for accepting my email.... ( Everyone )
I meant no harm or intrusion. I appreciate your time and consideration.

Shingle Solution is the culmination of extensive on exposure testing, over 5000 hours to give you an idea... tests will be coming soon, as well as MSDS, and TDS. Shingle Solution is manufactured by a leading paint and roof coatings manufacturer who has many Miami Dade approved roof coatings. Not to mention they've been in business for over 60 years...

Yes, it is likely that any coating will void a shingle manufacturers warranty but, how many homeowners actually have a warranty on a their roof after say a few years anyway??

These coatings are not designed for the NEW roof, they are designed for older, in service roofs ... the ones that get Mold and algae on them as they break down. The ones you see every day...


"Most roof buyers tend to use warranties as one of their primary tools for selecting
products. Manufacturers have found that by limiting coverage/liability to
"manufacturing defects" they can dramatically increase warranty periods (to 30, 40,
or 50 yrs.) on products with functional life cycles of less than 15 yrs. These "defects"occur in 1% of all shingles produced and the warranty does not cover wear from normal exposure. Homeowners need to understand the real functional life expectancy of the materials being considered. These warranties are typical to all roofing material manufacturers. "

Of course the Asphalt Shingle Manufacturers Association is going to recommended that no coatings be applied to their product offerings.. They're in the business of selling shingles! If a coating takes a roof shingle from dilapidated to rejuvenated, keeps it from getting wet, locks down the granules, inhibits mold growth and UV degradation....   Virtually stopping the aging process then the Asphalt Shingle Manufacturers Association sells fewer shingles, this hurts business... so, let's no recommend it. Makes sense...

This is a real product.... In fact we just applied it to an acrylic roof coating engineers home.. who happens to work within a large international company that you'd all be familiar with.. they don't make things, they make things better.. hint.

We have been showing this product to homeowners and contractors here in the Carolina's with great response... if this service isn't in you market now or seems new to you.. it won't be going forward.


Testing and all one needs to make an educated decision will be uploaded to our site by the end of November.  Nothing Bogus about it...

Feel free to contact me directly @ 704-553-2633  Thanks again everyone and hope business is good. Regards, Adam Calder  Shingle Solution.com

Guys if you want to read more there is a thread at TGS where I did not get one question answered.

Just for you all I did the math and if you do 8 hours a day for 5000 hours that equals 1.71 years of testing.

Adam stated the testing data will be on the site by the end of the month. I will hold further judgement until then. I am skeptical because of the lack of longevity testing.


You go to the home owner and say that I have a product that will make your shingles last for ever. BUT it will also void your warranty. Better run because you are going to get a boot in the back side.

Some where 5 years before recoating comes to mind and to do a 2k house costs alone for the product at todays internet special will be $500 with shipping. Their instructions say you can use a hvlp sprayer to apply but they also say be careful not to seal the shingle seams. On another document on their site it tells the home owner how to clean their roof and then says they can rinse with a pressure washer.

Like I said I am with holding final judgement until I see more documentation.

Well like I said I was going to reserve judgement and I went back and looked at their web site. I was not able to find any more information than was there before. I can protect a roof from algae for 5-7 years for a little more than it costs for the product itself for one application. If they were to come out with more information I would be glad to look at it but for right now I will pass. I am not going to be responsible for voiding any warranty.
