Question 1

Does Liqua-Roof Breathe?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Standard asphalt shingles have a perm rating of 0.65, while our system rates at 5.64 perms—over eight times more breathable. This means it won’t trap moisture or act as a vapor barrier over existing shingles.

Question 2

Will Liqua-Roof fade over time?

Accepted Answer

No—Liqua-Roof is not a paint. Its color comes from pigmented granules, not a surface coating. Like those used in new shingles, these granules are naturally fade-resistant. For added protection, each granule is encapsulated in a UV-resistant resin, further shielding them from sun exposure.

Question 3

Will Liqua-Roof come off over time?

Accepted Answer

No. Liqua-Roof exceeds ASTM D6803 standards for roof coating adhesion by over 200%—bonding at more than 5 pounds, well above the required minimum. All projects are backed with a 15-year warranty against premature wear.

Question 4

Does Liqua-Roof protect against wind?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Liqua-Roof seals shingles together, forming a continuous roof overlay, and resists wind uplift. In testing, Liqua-Roof withstood wind tunnel conditions at 110 mph for over 5 minutes with no delamination.

Question 5

Does Liqua-Roof protect against hail?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Liqua-Roof enhances impact resistance by over 300% compared to uncoated shingles by layering granules and proprietary solids bonded with our advanced resin formula.

Question 6

Will Liqua-Roof prevent leaks and waterproof my roof?

Accepted Answer

Liqua-Roof forms a continuous, hydrophobic, water-resistant film. While not warrantied for waterproofing, we offer an optional waterproofing basecoat for higher-risk areas.

Question 7

Will granules begin shedding like regular shingles?

Accepted Answer

Granule shedding may occur slowly. Our granules are glued on for superior adhesion. In ASTM 4977 testing, our coating showed 90% less granule loss than uncoated shingles.

Question 8

Does Liqua-Roof reflect heat and can it keep my home cool?

Accepted Answer

It can—by using solar reflective roofing granules, which are available at a premium cost.

Question 9

Does Liqua-Roof protect against moss and algae?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Liqua-Roof includes algaecides and fungicides, and its smooth finish helps prevent moss and algae growth.

Question 10

Is Liqua-Roof the same as rejuvenating your roof with an oil?

Accepted Answer

No. While oil treatments hydrate shingles, they don’t restore granules. Liqua-Roof re-granulates and reinforces shingles with a durable, long-lasting surface layer—stronger than the original.

Question 11

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

Accepted Answer

Liqua-Roof is more cost-effective and weighs under 20% of new shingles, preserving roof structure and breathability, unlike layering new shingles.

Question 12

Is Liqua-Roof an alternative to roof replacement?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. It provides the look and protection of a new roof for a fraction of the cost and without the mess.

Question 13

How does Liqua-Roof compare to roof paints or coatings?

Accepted Answer

Unlike roof paints that leave a flat finish and don’t restore granules, Liqua-Roof restores protection and adds a dimensional, natural-looking granule layer.

Question 14

How does Liqua-Roof compare to shingle sealers and rejuvenators?

Accepted Answer

Shingle rejuvenators don’t replace lost granules. Liqua-Roof does, adding a durable protective layer that truly restores the roof.

Question 15

Can I repair a section of my roof before applying Liqua-Roof?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Repairs blend seamlessly once Liqua-Roof is applied, giving a uniform, new-look appearance.

Question 16

When is the best time to apply Liqua-Roof?

Accepted Answer

If over 15% of your roof needs repairs, it may be too late for Liqua-Roof, and full replacement is recommended.

Question 17

What happens if it rains after application?

Accepted Answer

Liqua-Roof has early rain resistance, but we apply it only when no rain is forecast for 24 hours.

Question 18

Can Liqua-Roof be applied to flat roofs?

Accepted Answer

Yes, with a modification: we add an extra waterproofing layer beneath the granulated topcoat for flat roofs.

Question 19

Can Liqua-Roof be applied to metal roofs?

Accepted Answer

Liqua-Roof is designed for asphalt shingles and not recommended for metal roofs due to its granular finish.

Question 20

How much does Liqua-Roof cost?

Accepted Answer

Liqua-Roof costs under 40–50% of full replacement. It costs more than oil rejuvenators but lasts 2–3 times longer and offers more benefits.

Question 21

What type of warranty do you offer?

Accepted Answer

We offer a 15-year warranty against premature surface wear. If your shingle color shows through, we’ll reapply at no cost.

Question 22

What are the exclusions of your warranty?

Accepted Answer

Exclusions include damage from foot traffic, poor ventilation, installation defects, extreme storms, mold, mildew, or algae. All roofs are inspected prior to treatment.

Question 23

Is the warranty transferable if I sell my home?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The warranty is fully transferable and stays with the home, not the owner.

Question 24

What colors are available?

Accepted Answer

Liqua-Roof uses granules to create color. We offer color blends similar to new shingles for a dimensional, natural look.

Question 25

Is Liqua-Roof eco-friendly?

Accepted Answer

Yes. It helps reduce landfill waste from shingles and has ultra-low VOCs, making it environmentally responsible.

Question 26

Is Liqua-Roof toxic?

Accepted Answer

No. With a high solids content and under 50 g/L of solvents, Liqua-Roof is an ultra-low VOC, safe, non-toxic product.
