Nano Applications Leads to Macro Savings
Nano Roof Michiana focuses on prevention over repair to protect the life of your home.
Homeownership is a joy that comes with independence, family and stability, but occasionally it also comes with challenges and expensive updates. Maintenance costs and unexpected repairs can be extremely burdensome, especially with rising costs. Ben Yoder wanted to make things just a little easier on homeowners, and that’s just what he does at NANOROOF Michiana.
As the owner of a family-owned mold remediation business, Yoder wasn’t a newcomer to home maintenance and all the costs it can entail. As more and more requests for external mold treatments came pouring in, Yoder realized it might be time to investigate a better way to maintain homes without the high price tag. His research led him to a better approach for roof maintenance, and ultimately, a new business venture.
“We offer a new option for homeowners. No longer do they have to sit there and wait for their roof to deteriorate and be left with a hefty roof replacement bill. Shingle roof preservation is now the new way to go, even though it’s been around for 13 years and was researched decades before that. It is gaining fast traction since inflation has left everyone wondering how they’ll pay for expensive home repairs and roof replacements, let alone all the other bills,” Yoder says.
NANOROOF Michiana offers prevention methods against home deterioration, a proactive approach over the traditional method of “maintain and repair.” They specialize in protective NANOROOF coatings to protect against weather damage and premature wear.
The process begins with a free roof inspection to ascertain if your home qualifies for protective measures. Yoder mentions that 98% of homes qualify, so he encourages homeowners to consider NANOROOF technology even if they think their roof is too far gone. This cutting-edge approach can apply to roofs with up to 50% granule loss, with no limitations for age.
If you qualify, NANOROOF Michiana will add you to their limited seasonal schedule. Weather factors such as humidity and wind can impact the application process, so Yoder encourages people to sign up sooner rather than later. The team will initially conduct a general cleaning to clear away any shrubbery or debris from your roof. A soft wash comes next to remove moss, algae, mold and other stubborn substances in preparation for the protective membrane and in an effort to retain remaining granules. Finally, the protective nano preservation membrane is applied to ensure the longevity of your existing roof.
“We use a nano-enhanced elastomeric polymer that’s silicone-based to fully penetrate the shingle and make a mechanical and chemical bond that others aren’t able to achieve. This strengthens and makes the shingle more durable than before, and our product is re-coatable to basically keep your roof lasting a lifetime. This product can save the homeowner, on an average roof, 70-80% of what a new roof replacement would cost them!” Yoder says.
Treated roofs are protected against UV and sun damage, fading color, mold and algae growth, thermal shock due to extreme temperature changes, and hail and wind damage. A courtesy follow-up is conducted one year after application, with package options available for annual checkups.
“We want to help the community save money, but also save landfills from the 12+ million tons of shingles that go to waste every year. Eighty-five percent of roofs are prematurely replaced every year because of overzealous roofers and homeowners who just don’t know about this option,” Yoder says.
NANOROOF Michiana can help elongate the life of other areas around your home as well. The team offers a hydrophobic sealant for concrete and wood areas surrounding your home to prevent breakage and deterioration of areas such as decks, fences, pergolas, driveways, sidewalks, basements, pool areas, garages and more.
Protect what you have and forgo expensive, messy and invasive home repairs. To learn more about NANOROOF Michiana, go to nanoroofmichiana.com.
