Frequently Asked Questions

The coating contains millions of nano-silica particles suspended in liquid. When applied, particles penetrate the shingle surface and chemically bond at the molecular level with asphalt material. This restores flexibility lost to UV exposure and heat cycling, unlike topical sealants that sit on the surface.

DFW summer heat regularly exceeds 100°F, creating extreme thermal cycling that hardens shingles. Combined with intense UV exposure and hail season impact, North Texas roofs lose flexibility and weather resistance 30-40% faster than moderate climates. Molecular-level treatment counteracts this accelerated aging.

Coating treats roofs that are structurally sound but weathered—what the industry calls "good but long-term questionable." It restores shingle flexibility and adds 10-15 years of life without removal or waste. Replacement is necessary only when structural damage, leaks, or shingle loss already exists.

Treatment works on weathered shingles that have lost flexibility and color but remain intact. Roofs with active leaks, missing shingles, or structural damage aren't candidates—the coating preserves existing material, it doesn't repair physical failures. Digital inspection determines whether preservation or replacement is appropriate.

Application is typically completed in one visit. The penetrating liquid spray covers the entire roof surface without structural work or material removal. Roofs remain in service during and immediately after treatment—no downtime or disruption to the building.

High summer temperatures and UV intensity break down wood fibers, causing surface cracking, color fading, and moisture absorption that leads to rot. Seasonal humidity swings accelerate decay cycles. Nano-particle coating penetrates wood and bonds with fibers to resist oxidation and water damage.

Yes—composite materials fade and become brittle under DFW UV intensity and temperature extremes. The nano-silica coating bonds with composite surfaces to provide a UV barrier and restore flexibility to sun-damaged material. Treatment extends composite deck lifespan and prevents staining from weathering.

Inspections evaluate deck structure, material condition like wood rot or composite fading, fastener corrosion, and weather damage. Digital assessment documents current state with photographs. Results determine whether preservation coating is appropriate or if repairs are needed first—coating works best on structurally sound surfaces.

DFW experiences seasonal freeze-thaw cycles in winter that cause moisture trapped in concrete to expand and contract, creating surface cracks and spalling. Combined with summer UV degradation, untreated concrete deteriorates faster. Nano-silica treatment penetrates the concrete matrix to prevent water ingress.

GoNano provides warranty coverage on coating performance—no re-coating is required within the covered warranty period. Warranty specifics depend on surface type and application. Digital roof assessments and documentation support warranty claims. Treatment must be applied by authorized reseller to qualify for manufacturer backing.

Yes—the same penetrating nano-particle technology used on roofs and decks bonds to concrete matrix on driveways, patios, and foundations. Treatment prevents UV degradation, moisture penetration, and weather damage specific to exposed concrete in North Texas climate. Single application provides molecular-level protection.

Roofs in this category show weathering, UV fading, or minor flexibility loss but have no active leaks, missing shingles, or structural damage. They'll fail prematurely without intervention but don't require emergency work. Drone inspection and digital assessment identify whether preservation extends viable life or replacement is overdue.
