If you own an asphalt shingle roof in Baltimore or the surrounding Maryland suburbs and it's roughly 6–20 years old, dry, and shedding granules, our corn-based rejuvenation can restore flexibility and add years of service life — for about 15–20% of what a full replacement costs. We start with a free inspection and tell you honestly whether treatment is the right call.

Why do Baltimore roofs age the way they do?

Baltimore sits squarely in the mid-Atlantic weather zone that is hardest on asphalt. Hot, humid summers bake the protective oils out of shingle asphalt, while the Chesapeake Bay's humidity keeps roofs damp enough to grow moss and algae in shaded valleys. Then the region's freeze-thaw winters — repeated cycles above and below freezing — work at any brittleness that's already setting in. The classic result is a 12–16-year-old roof that looks tired, sheds granules into the gutters, and gets quoted for replacement. Many of those roofs are merely thirsty. Rejuvenation is designed to replace the oils before the shingle turns brittle.

The honest scope: rejuvenation restores aging-but-intact shingles. It does not fix leaks, flashing, or missing/cracked shingles, and it won't rescue a roof that's already failed. On some of the oldest rowhouse roofs in the city, replacement is the smarter money — and we'll tell you when that's the case.

Is my Baltimore roof a candidate?

Asphalt shingle roof, roughly 6–20 years old
Dry, faded, or shedding granules — but structurally sound
No active leaks; shingles present and not cracked

The developments of the 2000s roof boom across Baltimore County, Harford County, Carroll County, and the corridor out toward Columbia and Howard County are hitting that sweet spot right now. Our treatment is corn-based and about 95% USDA-certified bio-based; it penetrates the shingle rather than coating it, so it works across brands without changing how your roof looks. Each treatment adds 5 years of restored shingle flexibility, backed by our 5-year transferable warranty. With periodic re-treatment, many qualifying asphalt roofs gain 10–15 years of added service life.

Does the treatment actually work?

The evidence comes from independent ASTM lab testing performed by PRI Asphalt Technologies, which measured restored shingle flexibility and reduced granule loss by approximately 53% on 15-year-old shingles after treatment. That's lab testing, not a sales pitch — and it lines up with what we see on tired Baltimore roofs that are simply thirsty rather than failed.
