The cost of roof replacement is well known to be one of the most expensive realities of being a home owner. The cost of taking off your solar panels, replacing your roof shingles and then getting the panels put back on is a daunting process for any home owner and they feel it their wallet more than anything.
In some cases, homeowners are told they cannot get solar panels installed because their roof doesn't have enough "life" left. The aforementioned "life" refers to the amount of oil in the shingle and the subsequent granule loss that is inevitable when there's no oil left in the shingle.
The oils in roof shingles are essential. The oil keeps the shingle flexible which makes it able to withstand the expansion and contracting that a shingle goes through during the heating and cooling of the day. The oil also helps retain the top granule coating and keeps those little rock granules in place. If roof shingles are too far gone, meaning the oil has already had a chance to dry out, the end of the shingles are already curling up, the granule is piling in the gutters and the failed shingles have lead to leaking, then the shingles are past the point of qualifying for shingle rejuvenation. The goal is to rejuvenate the shingles before they have a chance to dry out, this is usually around the 8-10 year mark.
