The math on a rental roof
Say you own a handful of rentals, and the roofs are all about the same age. Replacing them close together is a big hit. Around Asheboro, a single replacement often runs $20,000 to $25,000 or more.
Rejuvenation gives you another option for the roofs that are still sound. Treat those now and you push their replacements out. That lets you spread the cost over more years instead of taking it all at once. Run any address through the instant roof estimate to get a starting range.
How we handle more than one roof
- 01Assess every roof
The owner looks at each property himself. Roofs the same age can wear very differently, so each one gets its own answer.
- 02Sort them
Roofs that qualify can be treated. Roofs that are too far gone go on your replacement list. Now you know what's coming and roughly when.
- 03Schedule around tenants
It's exterior work, and a typical house takes one afternoon. Give tenants a heads-up about the date, and let them know rain can push it back a day.
- 04Keep the records
Each treatment comes with a 5-year transferable warranty, and we give you the written terms before work starts. Ask us for a written record of the work, and file both with the property.
Fewer small problems between tenants
Roofs rarely give out all at once. It starts small. A lifted shingle. A nail working its way up. Flashing sealant that cracked last summer.
Every treatment starts with a roof tune-up that handles those things. Loose shingles get secured, flashings get resealed and nail pops get fixed. Catching small issues early is how you avoid a tenant's leak call later.
APEX-1132 is made from soybean oil. It's biodegradable and pH neutral, with little to no odor, and it carries 96% certified biobased content under USDA BioPreferred.
If a roof has soft decking, missing shingles or a leak from a failed roof, treatment won't help. That roof goes on your replacement list, and we'll tell you why, so you can budget for it.
Insurance on older rental roofs
Carriers in North Carolina are dropping or surcharging homes with aging roofs at renewal. If you insure rentals, ask your agent how they look at roof age.
A documented tune-up and treatment can help a roof pass an inspection. Nobody can promise what a carrier will decide, though. Ask your agent what they want to see. There's more on aging roofs and insurance.
Common questions
How much does roof rejuvenation cost for a rental property?
It's priced by roof size, like any house. A treatment usually runs around 20% of what a replacement costs. Get a range for each address from the online estimate, then we set the final price after the assessment.
Can you look at all of my properties?
Yes, if they're within roughly 40 miles of Asheboro. Send us the list of addresses and we'll set up the assessments. Check the service areas page if you're not sure a property is in range.
Is rejuvenation worth it on a rental I plan to sell?
It can be. Each treatment comes with a 5-year transferable warranty, and we give you the written terms before work starts. That can help when an inspector looks at an older roof. See selling a home with an older roof.
How often does a rental roof need to be treated?
Each treatment adds up to about 5 years. It can be repeated every 5 years for up to about 15 extra years total, as long as the roof is still a candidate. That makes it easy to put on a maintenance calendar.
