The roofs we can help have one thing in common: they're tired, not finished. Here's how to tell which one you're looking at before you call anyone, us included.
The Five-Step Check
- Confirm it's an asphalt shingle roof. That's what the treatment is made for, and it's what most East Kootenay homes have.
- Look for signs of aging. Granules in the gutters, faded colour, shingles that look dry or are starting to curl at the edges.
- Rule out signs of failure. Water stains on the ceiling, soft spots, sagging, or shingles missing across large areas.
- Weigh condition over age. A well-kept older roof can qualify. A younger roof that has taken a few hard winters and a hailstorm may be further along than its years suggest.
- Get it looked at. The first four steps you can do from the yard. The last one takes someone on the roof, or a drone above it.
What Rules a Roof Out
- Active or widespread leaks
- Shingles missing, broken or badly deteriorated across the roof
- Rotted or soft decking, or a roofline that sags
- A roof that has reached the end of its structural life
If that's your roof, treatment won't fix it, and we'll tell you so. We work with a local roofing partner for repairs and replacements, so you still leave with a next step.
The Sweet Spot: Aging but Sound
Most roofs around here sit in the middle: no longer new, nowhere near failing. That's where rejuvenation does its best work. The treatment restores the flexibility and water resistance the shingles have lost, and it costs a fraction of a replacement.

Which one your roof qualifies for comes out of the assessment, along with an exact quote.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is my roof a candidate for roof rejuvenation?
Likely yes if it is an asphalt shingle roof that is aging but structurally sound, with granule loss, fading or brittleness and no active leaks or widespread damage. A professional assessment confirms it.
What disqualifies a roof from rejuvenation?
Active or widespread leaks, shingles missing or broken across the roof, rotted or soft decking, structural sagging, or a roof at the end of its structural life.
Does the age of my roof matter?
Condition matters more than age. A well-maintained older roof can qualify, while a neglected younger roof in a harsh climate may not.
What happens if my roof is not a candidate?
Key City Surface Solutions will tell you, and can point you to a local roofing partner for repair or replacement instead.
