FAQs

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.

Good roofs should last a couple of decades, but how long is individual to the building. There are many factors that contribute to exactly how long they last, including environmental impact (chemicals, hail, ice, etc.), foot traffic, maintenance, and debris. We have replaced roofs that were 80 years old and roofs that were 8 years old.

Mechanical fastening is a method of securing the roof membrane to the roof deck with fasteners such as screws or nails (into concrete roof decks). It provides a high wind uplift rating while being very efficient to install, therefore lowering re-roofing costs.

Many white membranes are Energy Star-rated and improve cooling efficiency. Information found by people with more degrees and titles than us may help clear the theories up. 

When All Elements’ crew arrives to install your roof, our Foreman usually brings a job site trailer that will be left on site for the duration of the job. Frequently there will be a dumpster delivered as well. With single-ply membrane roofing, you won’t have the smell of tar. There isn’t a hot kettle of tar to avoid, so disruption to you is minimal.

Some residual water is common on buildings. How much water stays on the roof and how deep the puddle is can be the concern. All Element’s has membranes available from manufacturers who will warranty your roof, whether it has residual water on it or not.
