The decision
Rejuvenation or replacement. Here is the honest comparison, then the inspection settles it.
Side by side
| Rejuvenation | Replacement | |
|---|---|---|
| Cost | Around $3,000 for a typical home | Written range after inspection |
| Financing | Available | Available |
| Time on site | About three hours | Typically one to a few days |
| Lifespan added | Extends the life of a sound roof | A new roof |
| Disruption | No tear-off, no dumpster | Tear-off, dumpster, crew on site |
| Waste | Old shingles stay on the roof | Old roof goes to landfill |
| Warranty | 6-year transferable | Manufacturer and workmanship warranty |
| Best for | Dry, granule-shedding roofs with sound decking | Leaks, rot, failed decking, severe curling |
Decision guide
Shingles are faded and gritty in the gutters, the roof is somewhere in the middle of its life, and nothing is leaking.
Water stains on the ceiling, soft spots when you walk the roof, or shingles lifting and cracking after every winter.
That is most people. Book the inspection. You get both numbers in writing and Eric's recommendation.
A roof on a north-facing slope under the pines in Sutton ages differently from one in full sun in Bow. That is why we don't quote from satellite photos.
A ShingleLock treatment sprayed onto your existing asphalt shingles. It restores flexibility and granule adhesion so an aging roof keeps doing its job for years longer.
Tear-off down to the decking, repairs to anything soft underneath, then new architectural shingles installed by the same crew.
Questions
It depends on what the inspection finds. If the shingles are dry and shedding granules but the decking is sound and there are no active leaks, rejuvenation usually makes sense. If there is rot, active leaking, or shingles curled past recovery, replacement is the right call. You get both numbers in writing either way.
Around $3,000 for a typical home. The final number comes after the inspection, once we have measured the roof and seen its condition.
About three hours on site for a typical home. There is no tear-off and no dumpster in the driveway.
Yes. ShingleLock was independently tested by PRI (Performance Review Institute). PRI testing showed a 100% pliability improvement and up to 50% improvement in granule adhesion. It carries a 6-year transferable warranty.
Yes. Financing is available on both rejuvenation and replacement. Eric goes over the options at the inspection and puts them in writing beside the quote.
Hopkinton, Contoocook, Concord and the surrounding towns across Merrimack County and central New Hampshire, including Henniker, Warner, Bow, New London and Sunapee.

Eric walks the roof, photographs what he finds, and gives you a written rejuvenation number and a written replacement number. Then he tells you which one he would pick.
