Roof rejuvenation is not permission to forget your roof exists.

You still have:

• Gutters
• Flashing
• Roof vents
• Trees
• Storm exposure
• Drainage
• An attic

Those parts of the roofing system continue doing their jobs after treatment.

GoNano recommends continuing basic roof maintenance after Structural Roof Rejuvenation, including regular gutter cleaning and clearing debris from the roof surface.

The goal is simple:

Protect the investment instead of waiting for another problem.

1. Keep Gutters and Downspouts Clear

Your roof needs somewhere to send rainwater.

When gutters are full of:

• Leaves
• Needles
• Twigs
• Debris

water management becomes less effective.

GoNano’s current roof-life guidance recommends cleaning gutters and downspouts twice annually as part of routine roof preservation.

Spring and fall are practical checkpoints for many Ontario homes.

Homes surrounded by large trees may require more frequent attention.

2. Remove Heavy Roof Debris

Leaves and branches should not remain piled on the roof.

Debris can:

• Trap moisture
• Block drainage
• Collect in valleys
• Encourage organic growth

Do not aggressively walk the roof to clean it yourself.

Use safe ground-level methods where practical and call a professional when roof access is required.

3. Check the Roof After Major Storms

Rejuvenation does not make roofing immune to:

• Falling branches
• Extreme wind
• Severe hail

After significant weather, look from the ground for:

• Missing shingles
• Debris
• Damaged gutters
• Visible impact
• Changes in the roofline

If something appears different, arrange an inspection.

4. Maintain Surrounding Trees

Overhanging branches can:

• Drop debris
• Rub the roof
• Fall during storms
• Create persistent shade

You do not need to eliminate every tree around the property.

Simply manage branches that create unnecessary roofing exposure.

5. Don’t Ignore Flashing

Roof rejuvenation primarily addresses qualifying asphalt shingles.

It does not eliminate future maintenance around:

• Chimneys
• Vents
• Skylights
• Roof-to-wall transitions

Those components still need to remain functional.

6. Watch the Attic

Periodically pay attention to:

• Unusual moisture
• Water staining
• Musty odours
• Excessive heat
• Frost

A roofing system includes what happens underneath the shingles too.

7. Keep Your Documentation

Save:

• Inspection records
• Repair records
• Treatment date
• Product details
• Warranty documentation
• Photos

This becomes particularly useful if:

• You sell the house
• A storm occurs
• You need a future inspection
• Another contractor works on the roof

Rejuvenation Is Part of a Roof-Life Strategy

GoNano’s current preservation guidance does not position rejuvenation as a substitute for every other maintenance responsibility.

Instead, it is one part of a larger strategy that includes:

• Roof inspection
• Drainage
• Attic performance
• Repair
• Ongoing maintenance

Treat the Roof. Then Keep Taking Care of It.
