Certified Équipe Nano applicator · Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean

Your roof may still have 15 years left in it.

Nanotechnology treatment restores water repellency and flexibility to an ageing covering, no tear-off, no dumpster in the driveway, done in a single day. Before you sign for a five-figure replacement, have someone climb up and check.

The real problem

In Saguenay, a roof does not age the way it does elsewhere

Roughly 950 mm of precipitation, 330 cm of snow, and only 95 to 110 frost-free days a year. Every freeze-thaw cycle drives water into the shingle's microcracks, freezes it, and widens them. Repeat that a hundred times a year.

Let's compare

Replace, or treat?

Both options are legitimate. What decides it is the real condition of your covering, and that is exactly what the inspection determines.

Replace the roof

$6 to $12/sq ft
  • Full tear-off, dumpster in the driveway
  • Three to five days of work
  • Several tonnes of shingle to landfill
  • Risk of water intrusion during the work
  • Dust and debris in the attic and the yard
  • Resets the clock completely, the only option if the decking is gone

Treat the roof

$1.50 to $2/sq ft
  • No tear-off, no dumpster
  • Most homes: a single day
  • Nothing sent to landfill
  • The roof is never opened, so no intrusion risk
  • You stay home, the yard stays clean
  • Not suitable if the decking is rotten or the roof already leaks
Example for a 1,000 sq ft roof
Replace$6,000 to $12,000

Treat$1,500 to $2,000
You keep between $4,000 and $10,500

Replacement pricing comes from published 2026 Quebec ranges (asphalt shingle, single-family home, including tear-off and disposal). Treatment pricing depends on pitch, access and the condition of the covering: only the on-site inspection gives a firm price.

What a full replacement would cost, and what you could avoid spending

Enter your roof's approximate dimensions. The math uses published Quebec market pricing, not invented numbers.

Automated estimate, for guidance only. Replacement pricing comes from published 2026 Quebec ranges: $6–$12/sq ft for asphalt shingle, $11–$21/sq ft for elastomeric membrane. The per-square-foot rate is an average. Your actual price depends on pitch, access, the condition of the covering and any repairs needed first. Only an on-site inspection gives a firm price.

Treatment estimate

Past 25 years, the condition of the covering may require repairs beforehand. The on-site inspection confirms the price.

Our products

Four formulations, four surfaces

The Équipe Nano network develops a distinct line for each material and age. We do not put the same product on a 6-year-old roof and on a cedar deck.

Roofing
NANO-T
Asphalt shingle or elastomeric membrane under 10 years old

A nanotechnology formula developed to protect and regenerate roof coatings. Applied to a still-young covering, this is the most cost-effective moment to act.

  • Water, oil and UV resistance
  • Does not impair surface breathability
  • Reduces biological growth and darkening
  • Slow contamination and easy cleaning

Roofing
NANO-Revive
Roofs 10 to 25 years old

An oil-based formula developed specifically for older roofs. This is the one most people need: your roof is showing its first signs of fatigue but the structure is still sound.

  • Oil-based formula for mature coverings
  • Does not impair surface breathability
  • Reduces biological growth and darkening
  • Protects against freeze-thaw cycles
Learn more
Wood
NANO-B
All natural wood surfaces

A water-based hydrophobic and oleophobic product. Cedar deck, patio, fence, shed, siding: it protects wood against common liquids and stains while making them easy to clean.

  • Hydrophobic and oleophobic: repels water and oil
  • Breathable coating, no sticky film
  • Chemical and UV resistant
  • High coverage across wood types
Learn more
Concrete
NANO-BT
Concrete, brick, mineral stone, interlocking pavers and asphalt

A water-based formula for absorbent mineral surfaces. Concrete is porous: water gets in, freezes, expands and blows the surface apart. Add de-icing salt and the process accelerates.

  • Garage slabs, driveways, balconies, stairs
  • Brick, pavers, mineral stone and asphalt
  • Does not impair surface breathability
  • Reduces biological growth and darkening

The process

How it actually works

01

On-site inspection

An advisor climbs onto your roof, not a guess from the driveway. We photograph granule condition, shaded zones, flashing and ventilation.

02

Written diagnosis

You get a report with photos, the estimated life left in the covering, and a clear recommendation: treatable, repair first, or replace.

03

Application and warranty

The product is sprayed evenly. Most homes are finished the same day. You receive your written warranty certificate.

Satellite measurement

Measure your roof without climbing on it

Enter your address. We locate your building on satellite imagery, compute its surface, and the estimate fills itself in. No visit needed to get started.

Benefits

Why homeowners here choose treatment

A fraction of a replacement

Replacing a shingle roof in Quebec runs $9,500 to $16,500 for a single-family home. Treatment sits in an entirely different bracket.

One day, not one week

No tear-off, no dumpster in the driveway, no hammering for three days straight. Most homes are finished before supper.

Built for our climate

Saguenay gets roughly 950 mm of precipitation and 330 cm of snow a year, with only 95 to 110 frost-free days. That cycle is what kills roofs here, and the data sheets specify protection against freeze-thaw periods.

Your home stays livable

No dust in the attic, no debris in the yard, no tarps over the windows. You stay put while we work.

The surface keeps breathing

Unlike a film-forming coating, the official data sheets state the product does not impair surface breathability. That is the direct answer to shingle manufacturers' main reservation.

Something to show at resale

A written inspection report and a treatment certificate are documents you can hand a buyer, and a pre-purchase inspector.

Straight talk

What we will never promise you

A lot gets said in this industry. Some applicators advertise roofs that will supposedly last "40 to 100 years". We would rather earn your trust for the right reasons.

A treatment does not fix a leak.

If water is already getting in, the problem is mechanical: flashing, a valley, damaged decking. That has to be fixed first. We will tell you so, and we will not sell you a treatment over top of it.

A treatment does not save a roof that is finished.

Past a certain point, most granules gone, shingles brittle or lifting, decking soft, the only honest answer is replacement. We would rather lose the sale than sell you an illusion.

We do not claim to double your roof's life.

Lab studies on rejuvenation treatments show measurable results, particularly on flexibility and granule retention, but they are manufacturer-funded and there is still no 10-year field follow-up. We present the data as it actually stands.

Your shingle manufacturer's warranty deserves a conversation.

Several manufacturers explicitly exclude products applied after installation. In Quebec, the legal warranty under the Consumer Protection Act continues to apply independently, but we will not go so far as to claim a contractual warranty is untouchable. We explain the nuance before we start.
