FAQs

Yes, but careful planning is required to ensure waterproofing and warranty compliance. 

No, Brava roofing is made with color-through composite, meaning that the color is integrated into the material rather than being coated over the surface. 

Yes, the tiles are versatile and can be adapted to curved rooflines, gables, and steep slopes. 

While Brava roofing is durable, it is not recommended to walk directly on your roof for maintenance or cleaning. Contact All Elements for guidance on safe roof access. 

Brava roofing is resistant to freeze-thaw cycles, and the tiles won’t crack with snow or ice accumulation. With a lightweight design, they help reduce structural stress from heavy snow, unlike heavier slate or clay tiles. 

All GoNano products are applied by certified GoNano installers. Before treatment, they inspect and perform minor repairs (such as replacing damaged shingles or sealing surface cracks) to ensure maximum effectiveness and longevity.

Yes! By preventing water intrusion, rot, cracking, and other weather-related damage, GoNano significantly reduces ongoing maintenance needs. Homeowners, HOAs, and commercial property managers often save thousands by extending surface life instead of replacing materials prematurely.

No — GoNano is completely transparent and preserves the natural appearance of your roof, concrete, or wood. It enhances color retention and prevents fading but won’t create a glossy or artificial finish.

For best results, apply GoNano early in your surface’s life cycle — before significant deterioration has occurred. However, even older surfaces benefit greatly from treatments like Revive or Wood Saver, which restore lost flexibility, strength, and appearance.

Depending on the product and surface, GoNano treatments can extend the life of your materials by up to 15 years. Shingle Saver lasts up to 15 years, while Revive, Concrete Saver, and Wood Saver are guaranteed for up to 10 years. Even better, warranties are fully transferable if you sell your property.

Absolutely. All GoNano products are eco-friendly and non-toxic, making them safe for people, pets, and plants. You won’t have to worry about harmful runoff into your yard or garden after application.

GoNano uses nanoparticles that penetrate deep into the material at a molecular level. Once cured, they form an invisible, breathable barrier that repels water, resists dirt buildup, and prevents damage caused by freeze-thaw cycles, corrosion, and UV exposure. The result is longer-lasting, easier-to-maintain surfaces that look newer for years.

GoNano products are designed for nearly every surface around your property — including asphalt shingle roofs, concrete and asphalt driveways, patios, wood decks, and wood fences. Each formula uses advanced nanotechnology to strengthen and seal materials from the inside out, extending their lifespan and improving resistance to weather, water, and UV damage.

Some home insurance providers may cover the cost of ice dam repairs and removal services—especially if the dam is the primary cause of your water leaks. To learn more, contact your insurance provider to ask about coverage.

When left untreated, an ice dam can damage the integrity of your roof, causing water leaks and damage to your gutters, shingles, and home or building insulation.

On most residential roofing systems, heat from the attic can warm the roof, causing snow to melt into water and travel to the eaves (i.e., the edges of your roof).

The water then freezes on the eaves and expands as more water continues through the same melting process. Eventually, the build-up creates an ice dam that causes water to sit on top of your roof, causing water damage.

Very little maintenance is required on a new roof. If you visually inspect the roof and its drains or scuppers, you have completed nearly all the maintenance required.

Yes, you can walk on your new roof. Just like any waterproof surface, caution will need to be taken.

This may be a good answer for your roof at this time. If repairing the roof is going to be a short-term solution, expect our experts to tell you that. Sometimes we know there are budget limitations prohibiting a roof replacement, but you will be told about it because of the low probability of a successful repair.

That depends. The building code says you need an R-value of 22.9 with insulation placed above the roof deck. If you have less than R 22.9, it may be a good investment.
