Asphalt Shingle Restoration. A Real Alternative to Roof Replacement.

Gates Restoration Go Nano service brochure

Most homeowners hear one option when a roof starts showing its age: replace it, for $15,000 to $30,000. Roof rejuvenation is the other option. Gates Restoration evaluates your roof, repairs what needs repairing, and applies a Go Nano shingle treatment designed to reduce moisture absorption and slow surface deterioration — so an aging but structurally sound roof keeps performing for years longer. If your roof is too far gone, we will tell you that instead of selling you a treatment.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Here's what homeowners typically ask about Go Nano roof treatment, preparation, and what to expect on installation day.

Asphalt shingle roof ready for Go Nano treatment

Go Nano is a roof surface protectant that is spray-applied to an existing roof to improve water resistance and slow weather-related wear. It adds a protective layer to the shingle surface rather than replacing anything, so it is a way to extend the life of the roof you already have — not a repair and not a replacement. It is intended for roofs that are aging but still structurally sound.

Go Nano works best on asphalt shingle roofs that are structurally sound but showing early signs of aging — granule loss, surface fading, or drying out. It is not a fit for roofs that are already failing structurally or at the end of their service life; those need replacement, and we will tell you if that is what we find. We start every job with a free roof evaluation to confirm the surface is a good candidate and to flag any repairs needed before treatment.

Most homes are completed in a single day. Larger roofs, or roofs that need repairs or heavy cleaning first, can take longer, and application requires dry weather — so Minnesota rain can push a scheduled date. You will have a firm schedule after the roof evaluation, before any work begins.

Yes. Proper prep is essential. We address active leaks, failing flashing, exposed fasteners, and damaged areas first so the treatment can bond correctly and perform as intended.

No — not on its own, and you should be skeptical of anyone who says otherwise. Go Nano improves the roof's water resistance, but it is not a substitute for repairing an active leak. If you have a leak now, the source has to be fixed first: failing flashing, exposed fasteners, damaged shingles, or a penetration that has opened up. We find and repair those, then apply the treatment to help reduce future moisture intrusion.

How long the treatment holds up depends mostly on the condition of the roof when it was applied — a newer, sound roof holds the protectant longer than one already well into its service life. Minnesota exposure matters too: heavy snowpack, freeze-thaw cycling, and summer UV all shorten the interval, as does a roof under heavy tree cover. We give you a specific expectation for your roof after the evaluation, along with written aftercare guidance, and we will tell you when it is worth reapplying rather than waiting for you to ask.

The roof evaluation and the written estimate are free, and the price is fixed before any work starts — there are no day-of surprises. The cost of the treatment itself is driven by three things: the square footage of the roof, its current condition, and how much prep or repair work is needed before the protectant can bond properly. A straightforward roof in good condition sits at the low end; one needing cleaning and repairs first costs more. We put the number in writing after we have been on your roof.
