Common Questions About Go Nano & Roof Protection

Everything you need to know about our process, the product, and what to expect as a homeowner.

General

It depends entirely on where your roof is in its life. On a roof that is aging but still sound, rejuvenation costs a fraction of a $15,000–$30,000 replacement and buys you years before that expense — which is genuinely worth it. On a roof that has already failed, it buys you nothing, and the honest answer is to put the money toward replacement instead. That is exactly what the free evaluation is for: telling you which of those two roofs you have.

About Go Nano

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.

Installation

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.

Pricing

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.

Maintenance

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.
