Scott I believe you should use roof coatings. and do not replace your roof.

Allen,

Do you know of any product to clean bleed through stains or black pigment from the asphalt shingles? The varying lengths and spots of black streaks runnging down the roof are unsightly. The roof shingles are only 9 years old. Thanks! Gary – Mineral, VA.

The shingles on my garage are past their prime and are cupping and warping. Is it absolutely necessary to tear the old ones off, or is it possible to just scrape off some of loose areas and lay new shingles over the old ones?

Steve, we also had a new roof put on 6 weeks ago and in the beginning almost all the shingles were cupped, now about 30% of the roof shingles are still cupped, we live in NW Indiana and we have had some 60 degrees days but shouldnt it be flat by now?? should I delay making final payment?

Steve, Unless the problem is severe, heat from the sun should cause asphalt shingles to lay flat and seal themselves down over time. Of course if the roof is installed in cold weather, this could take a while, and if a windstorm occurred in the meantime, it could result in damage to the roofing. If you’re worried about the quality of the materials or workmanship, I’d explain your concerns to the roofing contractor and hold off on making the final payment for a few weeks to see if his prediction comes true. If it rains during that time, be sure to go up in the attic and check for leaks. Also, you should request that the roofing contractor provide a written warrenty to cover any installation problems for at least a year. Further information is available in our article on How to Hire a Roofer.

Hey i just had a new roof put on and some of the shingles are cupped, the roofer told me its normal and they will lie flat after a few weeks – is this true? or are they trying to pull a fast one?

Another tip is to prevent the stains from coming back after you have invested the time and energy in cleaning the roof.
Roof Armor Protectant is a spray on, no-rinse stain preventative that can be applied each year, and stops ugly stains from returning.
Roof Armor can be found at http://www.cleanertoday.com along with a commercial QSE roof cleaner and homeowner roof cleaning Roof OX.
