Facts You Should Know About Roofing

Did you know the majority of insurance companies will void any roof insurance claims if you have mold, moss, or mildew on your roof? Even if you remove mold or mildew, it will grow back. The combination of lack of sunlight and consistent moisture.

Shingle Magic is warranted to prevent mold, mildew, moss, or algae from growing into the shingle!

Mold, Mildew and Moss absorbs and holds moisture adding harmful weight to your building structure.

Eventually it will cause rot and deterioration to your roof.

Shingle Magic provides a 10-year Labor and Material warranty!

Shingle granules have 3 main purposes:

  • To protect the asphalt coating from harmful UV rays.
  • To add aesthetics beauty ( color and curb appeal)
  • To help provide fire resistance.

Shingle Magic is warranted to bond shingles granules to the shingles!

Wherever and whenever a roof shingle has lost its granules the shingle has a reduced life expectancy. In all climates the loss of granules means that the roof shingle has lost its protection from harmful UV rays and sunlight, waterproofing, hail, wind, cracking, and complete deterioration of the shingle. 

Shingle Magic includes and labor and material warranty to bond shingle granules!
