Answers to Your Frequently Asked Questions about GoNano Advanced Roof Protection Solutions
6 times less than a new roof. Depending on the condition of your roof, the cost of the treatment is generally 15 to 20% of the full replacement cost. The treatment has a starting price of only $0.85 per sqft.
The treatment helps restore the original appearance of your roof, while modifying and improving it.
Science at the nanoscale. One meter is equivalent to one billion nanometers. Nanotechnology is science, engineering and technology performed on particles ranging from 1 to 150 nanometers, which makes it infinitely small.
The duration of the treatments administered by our certified partners is guaranteed for a span ranging from 5 to 15 years. This duration is contingent on the type and condition of the surfaces at the time of installation. Importantly, the warranty associated with our treatments is fully transferable, providing homeowners with the assurance that the coverage seamlessly carries over in the event of a home sale. This transferability feature adds an extra layer of value to our services, ensuring ongoing protection and peace of mind for both current and future homeowners.
Yes, for the better. The treatment helps restore the original appearance of your roof, while modifying and improving it.
Certainly. Understanding the pivotal role that a roof plays in safeguarding your home, it becomes imperative to explore avenues that enhance its longevity and resilience. In the absence of treatment, the average lifespan of a roof typically stands at 15 years. However, the introduction of GoNano treatment brings about a transformative impact, extending the life of your roof by an additional 10 to 15 years. This substantial extension in lifespan equates to a remarkable 15 to 20% of the cost associated with a full roof replacement. This cost-effectiveness not only underscores the economic wisdom of opting for GoNano treatment but also positions it as a prudent investment in the long-term durability and protection of your home.
None. Once the treatment has penetrated the first layer of roofing (about two hours after application), rain makes absolutely no difference.
As soon as possible! The better the condition of your roof at the time of application, the better the effect of GoNano. GoNano should ideally be applied during the first 10 years of your roof's life. The loss of granules and the formation of stains on a roof are urgent signs you should protect it to slow down the aging process. But if your roof is older than 10 years, our Revive treatment is ideal to rejuvenate older roofs and protect it up to an additional 10 years!
Across several centuries. While the formal discipline of nanoscience is relatively recent, its roots trace back to the Middle Ages, where nanoparticles found practical application in dyeing glass. Fast forward to the present day, and we witness a transformative shift in our utilization of nanoscience. Today, we engage with nanotechnology in a systematic and scientific manner, harnessing the exceptional properties of nanoparticles for a multitude of applications.
No, GoNano does not void any of the current shingle manufacturer warranties. We have undertaken a comprehensive legal assessment with our law firm to confirm this for the leading shingle manufacturers such as IKO, Owens Corning, BP, and GAF.
Yes, we will do small repairs such as replacing shingles that are lost, broken or have become loose.
Our nanotechnology has been proven by top-notch American institutions to make sure it's the real deal:
Tested under Impact Resistance Standard (UL2218)
Tested under Fire Proofing Standard (UL790)
Tested under Great Winds Standard (ASTM D3161)
We would only require soft washing before applying GoNano on a roof when there is heavy algae or moss growth that has rooted into the shingles. However, apart from these situations, soft washing before applying GoNano is mainly for aesthetic reasons, as clients often want their roof to look new. It's important to note that dirt will not affect the performance of a GoNano application. However, once GoNano is applied, soft washing afterward will no longer be effective at removing stains, and the bleach formula used in soft washing could eventually impact the integrity of the GoNano application. Therefore, we strongly recommend soft washing a dirty roof beforehand.
Many of our clients have successfully obtained approval from their insurance companies to use GoNano as a solution to extend the life of their roofs, delaying the need for a full roof replacement. While it does depend on the specific case, all one needs to do is contact their insurer and discuss the GoNano option. Most insurance companies are now aware of our product and recognize the benefits of applying GoNano to prolong a roof's lifespan.
The water beading effect will diminish after about 5-8 years, depending on the local weather conditions, but this does not impact the product's performance. The product continues to perform well throughout the entire 10-15 year period.
Yes! All of our products reflect UV rays to limit heat absorption, slow aging and prevent discoloration.
No, nanosilica does not change fire susceptibility, as tested by UL Standards under Fire standard UL790 (Class A shingles remain Class A).
(See UL Standards - Fireproofing - Standard 790)
One treatment will increase residential roofs’ lifespan by 10 to 15 years, and therefore does not need to be applied again, though we could increase even further the added lifespan by applying a second treatment halfway through the established added lifespan for the roof in question (though again, no scientific testing was conducted on the lifespan effect of 2 treatments, but that is also currently in development).
One treatment is effective, but applying two treatments will enhance the following aspects:
1. Hailstorm resistance.
2. Wind resistance.
3. Water infiltration resistance.
4. The hypothetical lifespan
(Please note that the effects of two applications have not been scientifically tested yet, but it is being considered.)
