Understanding the problem

Why Roofs Fail

“By year 10, most roofs have lost 40% of their granule protection.”

UV Degradation

Ultraviolet radiation breaks down the asphalt binder, weakening shingles and accelerating granule loss — every summer makes the damage worse.

Freeze-Thaw Cycles (Quebec Focus)

Quebec roofs endure dozens of freeze-thaw cycles each winter. Moisture enters micro-cracks, freezes, expands, and accelerates shingle fracturing.

💧

Moisture Penetration

Once the granule layer is compromised, moisture seeps directly into the asphalt. Water damage to roof structures can reach $50,000+ before a visible leak appears.

📉

Granule Loss Timeline

Years 1–5: minimal loss. Years 5–10: heat and freeze accelerate loss. After year 10: 40%+ of granules are gone and UV protection is severely diminished.

The technology

Molecular Modification, Not Surface Coating

🔬

Penetration

Nanosilica particles (10–100 nm) penetrate deep into the asphalt matrix — where no surface coating can reach.

Bonding

A permanent molecular bond forms between the nanosilica particles and the asphalt. The treatment cannot wash off, peel away, or fade.

🛡

Transformation

The molecular structure is reinforced: flexibility restored, hydrophobic barrier created, UV resistance enhanced — up to 15+ years of added protection.

Key Differentiator

Traditional coatings sit ON the surface. GoNano works FROM WITHIN.

CNETE Independent Testing

The Centre National en Électrochimie et en Technologies Environnementales (CNETE) conducted rigorous, independent scientific testing representing $750,000+ in investment. GoNano is the first and only North American nanotechnology treatment for asphalt shingle roofs.

Our assessment system

Your Roof Gets a Score. The Score Determines the Treatment.

During the free inspection, we evaluate six factors and assign your roof a score. That score determines which of the three GoNano products is recommended — or if replacement makes more sense.

The 6 Scoring Factors

  • 1. Granule loss
  • 2. Shingle flexibility
  • 3. Roof age
  • 4. Moss / algae presence
  • 5. Shingle curling
  • 6. Moisture signs

Score ≥ 5
NuRoof Fortify™ Most Popular
15-Year Warranty

Maximum protection for newer roofs (0–10 years). Full molecular enhancement, UV + moisture + hail defense.

Score 1 to 5
NuRoof Revive™
10-Year Warranty

Rejuvenates aging roofs (5–15 years). Restores shingle flexibility and eliminates moss/algae.

Score -1 to 1
Bio-Boost™
5-Year Warranty

Extends the life of older roofs (12–18 years). 100% biodegradable formula, most eco-friendly option.

Score < -1
Replacement Recommended
Honest Redirect

We refer you to a trusted roofer at no charge. We turn away 1 in 5 roofs for exactly this reason.

Our process
