Learn how a homeowner protected a brand-new asphalt shingle roof with Nanoclad to improve hail resistance, extend roof life by 10–15 years, and reduce the risk of premature roof replacement.

Customer Profile

Names: The Singh Family

Location: Calgary, AB

Home Type: 2-storey family home, 2,300 sq ft

Roof Type: Asphalt shingles, replaced Fall 2024 due to hail

Solar Panels: Not installed

The Challenge

After a severe hailstorm in 2024, the Singh family had to replace their entire roof. With a brand-new asphalt shingle system in place, they knew it was only a matter of time before Calgary’s next damaging hail event. They also understood that even new shingles begin degrading within a few years under UV exposure, heat, and seasonal weather swings.

As homeowners who believe in preventative maintenance, they wanted to protect their investment from the start—while also being mindful of the environmental impact of unnecessary shingle waste.

The Nanoclad Solution

They chose Nanoclad, a high-performance spray-applied coating that:

  • Extends roof life by 10–15 years

  • Enhances UV and moisture protection

  • Improves hail impact resistance by two shingle classes

Even better, Nanoclad provides a 5-year worry-free hail guarantee:

If a hailstorm causes enough damage to require roof replacement within 5 years of application, Nanoclad will recoat the new roof at no additional cost.

Installation

  • Inspection: A Nanoclad technician confirmed the new shingles were in ideal condition for coating.

  • Prep & Application: The roof was cleaned, prepped, and coated in a single day, with no disruption and no changes to its appearance.

  • Invisible Protection: The clear, breathable barrier preserved the roof’s brand-new look while adding serious durability.

The Results

  • Extended Roof Life: The roof is now projected to last 30+ years with minimal maintenance.

  • Hail Resilience Boosted: Nanoclad enhanced the roof’s hail impact class by two levels, offering superior protection during Calgary’s storm season.

  • Waste Reduction: Delaying replacement keeps shingles out of landfills and reduces environmental impact.

  • No-Surprise Guarantee: Nanoclad’s 5-year hail damage recoat policy gave the Singhs long-term confidence.

  • Stronger Resale Value: When they eventually sell their home, the roof will still look clean, new, and well-maintained—eliminating the risk of price adjustments from buyers due to a worn or aging roof.

Customer Feedback

“We put in a brand-new roof after the last hailstorm, and we weren’t about to let it wear out in just 10 or 15 years. Nanoclad gave us more than protection—it gave us peace of mind. And when we go to sell this house, the roof won’t be a bargaining chip for buyers. It’ll be a selling point.”

— Raj Singh

Conclusion

For Calgary homeowners, Nanoclad is more than a roof treatment—it’s a proactive investment in protection, sustainability, and home value. Whether you’re staying for decades or planning to sell in a few years, a Nanoclad-coated roof means you’re ready for hail, heat, and home inspections alike.
