Alberta Is One of the Harshest Places on Earth for a Roof
If you own a home in Calgary, Edmonton, or anywhere across Alberta, your roof faces conditions that most shingle manufacturers test for โ but that most homeowners don’t think about until something goes wrong.
|
๐จย Alberta averages among the highest hail event rates in Canada |
๐งย Moisture infiltration is the #1 cause of premature shingle failure |
|
โ๏ธย Intense UV radiation breaks down shingle oils and granule adhesion |
๐ย Algae and moss root into granule voids, accelerating surface breakdown |
|
๐กย Extreme temperature swings โ from -30ยฐC to +35ยฐC โ stress and crack shingles |
๐ ย Average Alberta re-roof costs $8,000โ$20,000+ depending on home size |
|
โ๏ธย Freeze-thaw cycling forces moisture into micro-cracks repeatedly each year |
๐ย Age-related deterioration is typically NOT covered by home insurance |
Most homeowners don’t replace their roof because it’s the right time โ they replace it because it failed. NanoProtect helps you get ahead of that.
Which NanoProtect Treatment Is Right for Your Roof?
Every roof is different. Rather than guessing based on age alone, NanoProtect uses a Roof Health Score โ assessed during your free inspection โ to determine your roof’s current condition and which treatment and warranty tier it qualifies for.
| Product | Warranty | Best For |
| NuRoof Fortify | Up to 15 years | Roofs in good condition scoring well on the Roof Health Score. Best proactive protection for shingles with strong remaining lifespan. |
| NuRoof Fortify Elite (2-coat) | Up to 20 years + 5-yr hail | Premium 2-coat application for maximum protection. Adds meaningful hail resistance on top of full UV, moisture, and weathering defence. |
| NuRoof Revive | Up to 10 years | Mid-life shingles showing early wear. Restores lost flexibility and granule adhesion, significantly slowing deterioration. |
| Bio-Boost | Up to 5 years | Older roofs still structurally sound. Refreshes and protects, buying meaningful extra years before replacement becomes necessary. |
Roof Health Score โ How Your Warranty Is Determined
Final warranty term is determined by your roof’s condition at inspection using the Roof Health Score system. Our certified technicians assess your roof’s age, current condition, and exposure factors โ your score determines which product and warranty tier your roof qualifies for. This means every warranty we issue reflects the actual state of your roof.
Not sure where your roof stands? That’s exactly what our free inspection is for. We assess, score, and recommend โ with no obligation to proceed.
How NanoProtect Shingle Treatment Works
NanoProtect uses the GoNano product system โ as seen on CBC’s Dragon’s Den โ to treat asphalt shingles at a molecular level. This isn’t a surface coating that peels or fades. It penetrates the shingle structure and bonds to the granule layer and asphalt matrix, restoring lost flexibility and providing long-lasting protection.
| What it treats: | What it delivers: |
| โย Granule loss from UV and weathering | โย Restored granule adhesion and retention |
| โย Shingle brittleness from oil depletion | โย Renewed shingle flexibility and durability |
| โย Surface oxidation and fading | โย UV-resistant surface protection |
| โย Moisture absorption and freeze-thaw damage | โย Hydrophobic barrier โ water beads and runs off |
| โย Algae and biological growth | โย Reduced thermal stress on shingle structure |
As Seen on Dragon’s Den (CBC)
GoNano โ the product system behind NanoProtect shingle treatments โ was featured on CBC’s Dragon’s Den, Canada’s most prominent business credibility platform. The science behind the product has been independently evaluated at the laboratory level, including validation by researchers at the University of Calgary. When your roof is treated with NanoProtect, you’re backed by tested, proven technology.
Alberta Hail Season โ Why GoNano Treatment Matters
Alberta sits in the heart of Canada’s most active hail corridor. Major hail events cause millions of dollars in roof damage each year โ and many insurance claims are denied or reduced because the damage is attributed to pre-existing wear and tear, not the hail event itself.
NanoProtect’s premium NuRoof Fortify Elite treatment includes up to 5-year hail coverage in addition to the standard 20-year warranty โ meaning your treated roof is better positioned both structurally and for insurance purposes in the event of a hail claim.
Hail Impact Classes โ Independent Testing
GoNano-treated shingles have demonstrated improved hail impact resistance in independent testing, with tested shingles gaining hail impact class ratings compared to their untreated state. Higher hail impact class ratings mean your shingles are more resistant to the kind of surface damage that triggers claims โ and that some insurers may recognize with premium discounts.
We Protect More Than Just Your Roof
While shingle protection is our most requested service, NanoProtect Solutions treats all the major exterior surfaces of your home โ often in a single combined visit.
| Service | Service |
| Concrete & Driveways | Cedar & Pine Shakes |
| Protects driveways, sidewalks, and garage pads from salt, moisture, freeze-thaw cracking, and surface erosion. | Restore and protect natural wood shake roofing with our Wood Saver system โ extends the life of cedar and pine shakes significantly. |
| Decks & Fences | Window & Glass |
| GoNano Wood Saver treatment penetrates wood fibres to prevent rot, UV greying, and moisture damage without changing the natural appearance. | Hydrophobic nano-coating for windows reduces water spotting, keeps glass cleaner for longer, and improves clarity in Alberta’s dusty and wet conditions. |
Have Solar Panels? Treat Your Roof First โ or Now.
If you have solar panels installed โ or are planning to install them โ the cost of removing and reinstalling them to reshingle in 10 years can be significant. Treating your roof now with NanoProtect extends its lifespan and may let you defer or eliminate that re-roof entirely within your solar panel’s productive life.
We also offer NanoProtect Solar Glass treatment โ a nano-coating for your solar panel glass that repels dust, water, and bird droppings, helping maintain panel efficiency over time.

Frequently Asked Questions โ Homeowners
How much does NanoProtect shingle treatment cost?
Pricing depends on your roof’s size, pitch, and condition. Our 60-second estimator gives you a ballpark instantly, and our free inspection includes a precise, no-obligation quote. Treatment consistently costs a small fraction of what full roof replacement would cost.
How do I know which product my roof qualifies for?
That’s exactly what the free inspection is for. Our technician assesses your roof using the Roof Health Score system and recommends the appropriate treatment tier. You’ll receive a clear written explanation of the score and recommendation before any work begins.
Will my home insurance be affected?
NanoProtect treatment can support your insurance position by improving your roof’s documented condition and hail impact resistance. We recommend informing your insurer of the treatment and warranty. NuRoof Fortify Elite’s hail coverage documentation may be relevant to your policy โ check with your insurer for specifics.
How long does the application take?
Most residential shingle treatments are completed in a single day. The application is done from the exterior and causes no disruption inside your home.
Can my roof be treated if it's already showing some wear?
Yes โ NuRoof Revive and Bio-Boost are specifically designed for roofs showing signs of mid-life or advanced weathering. However, if a roof has reached the point where treatment would not add meaningful value, we’ll tell you honestly rather than sell you a treatment that won’t hold.
Is NanoProtect treatment environmentally safe?
Yes. All GoNano and NanoProtect products are non-toxic and environmentally responsible. The formula is safe for landscaping, gardens, and the surrounding environment.
