Solving the insurance roof matching problem, without roof replacement

When roof repairs don’t match the rest of the roof, it’s more than cosmetic — it can impact your insurance claim. Liqua-Roof restores a uniform finish, making repair viable again.
OVERVIEW

What is the roof matching problem?

When a roof is partially damaged, insurance carriers typically approve repairs for the affected areas only. The challenge is that new shingles rarely match existing ones. Over time, the original shingles fade, weather, and may even become discontinued, making a consistent appearance difficult to achieve.

RESURFACING OVERVIEW

Roof matching can become an insurance issue

Some insurance policies require repairs to result in a “reasonably uniform appearance.” When a repaired section doesn’t match the rest of the roof, it can raise questions about whether the outcome meets that standard. Matching requirements vary by state and policy and can affect how a claim is resolved, sometimes leading to full roof replacement.

How matching requirements can affect your claim

When a repair can’t achieve a uniform appearance, it can change the scope of the claim, sometimes requiring full roof replacement. What starts as a minor repair can quickly become a much larger claim.

States with confirmed matching requirements

Examples of states where matching requirements have been established include:

Alaska
California
Connecticut
Florida
Iowa
Kentucky
Louisiana
Montana
Nebraska
Ohio
Rhode Island
Tennessee
Utah
Vermont
West Virginia
Wisconsin

Other states may have similar standards based on policy interpretation or legal precedent. Always review the specific guidelines that apply to your location and claim.

The LIQUA-ROOF SOLUTION

Liqua-Roof creates a uniform roof, without full roof replacment

We repair the damaged areas first, then resurface the entire roof with our patented roof resurfacing system. By fully resurfacing the roof with a brand new, high-build granule layer, Liqua-Roof is able to achieve a consistent color and finish across the entire surface, eliminating any visible patches and restoring a like-new, uniform appearance.

THE IDEAL SOLUTION

Is your roof a good fit for roof repairing and resurfacing?

Liqua-Roof is designed for roofs with localized damage, where the structure is still sound, but the surface is wearing out.

Your roof deck is structurally sound
Damage is localized (leaks, missing shingles, isolated areas), less than 15% of the entire roof.
The rest of your roof is aging, worn, or losing granules

How is it possible to claim that Liqua-Roof is stronger than new shingles?

It’s all about the granules. Asphalt shingles are composed of multiple layers—fiberglass for structure, asphalt for flexibility and waterproofing, and a topmost layer of granules that provides the true protection against sun, wind, and water. When those granules erode over time, your roof begins to break down. The asphalt underneath gets exposed, leading to curling, cracking, and eventual failure. What makes Liqua-Roof unlike any roof treatment or coating on the market is that we don’t just preserve what’s left—we rebuild it. Our roof resurfacing system adds a new, high-build granule layer directly onto your existing shingles, increasing their protective barrier beyond even what you’d get with brand-new shingles—including those rated Class-4 for impact resistance. That’s what makes Liqua-Roof a true upgrade, not just maintenance.

Is Liqua-Roof an alternative to roof replacement?

Absolutely! Liqua-Roof delivers the benefits of a new roof—protection, appearance, and durability—at a fraction of the cost, time, and without all the mess and disruption of a full replacement.

How is Liqua-Roof different from installing new shingles over existing ones?

Unlike layering new shingles, our roof resurfacing system is significantly more cost-effective and dramatically lighter. Traditional shingles are heavy due to their asphalt and multiple layers—materials our process eliminates. Liqua-Roof resurfaced shingles weigh less than 20% of conventional new shingles. This reduced weight helps preserve your roof's structural integrity and allows it to continue breathing properly, unlike applying shingles over existing shingles.

Will granules begin shedding like regular shingles?

Granule shedding may occur over time but at a significantly slower rate. Unlike new shingles, where granules are simply “tossed” onto hot asphalt during the manufacturing process, we physically glue the granules onto the shingles for superior adhesion. In ASTM 4977 testing, our coating showed 90% less granule loss compared to uncoated shingles, ensuring long-lasting protection.

What colors are available?

Liqua-Roof’s base formulation is clear; the color comes entirely from the granules themselves! We offer the same color options as new shingles, blending two or three granule shades to create a natural, dimensional appearance—just like a traditional shingled roof.
