Why Shingle Prices Keep Going Up — And What You Can Do About It

If you’ve recently received a quote for a new roof or tried to price out materials for a roofing project, you’ve probably noticed something frustrating — shingle prices just keep going up.


It’s not just you. Homeowners and contractors across the country are feeling the sting of higher roofing costs. But why is this happening? And more importantly, is there a better solution?


At Fresh Roof, we believe you deserve options. Let’s break down what’s driving these price increases and how our innovative roof rejuvenation technology can help you save thousands — and extend the life of your existing roof.


What’s Causing the Spike in Shingle Prices?

Several factors are fueling the ongoing rise in shingle costs:


1. Raw Material Shortages

Shingles are primarily made of asphalt, a byproduct of crude oil refining. As oil prices fluctuate and refineries shift their priorities, the availability of asphalt becomes tighter — leading to higher costs for manufacturers and ultimately, homeowners.


2. Increased Manufacturing and Transportation Costs

Labor shortages, supply chain disruptions, and increased fuel prices have all added pressure to the roofing industry. Whether it’s shipping delays or higher costs for raw goods, those increases are passed on to the end user.


3. Higher Demand

After major weather events or during construction booms, demand for roofing materials skyrockets. Manufacturers struggle to keep up, and prices surge in response.


The Real Cost of a New Roof

In many areas, the average cost to replace a roof has jumped 25-40% in just the last few years. For a typical home, that can mean spending $15,000 to $40,000 or more on a complete tear-off and re-roof — even if your shingles still have life left in them.


For many homeowners, that’s a tough pill to swallow.


Here’s the Good News: You Might Not Need a New Roof

Most asphalt roofs don’t fail all at once — they simply dry out over time. As shingles age, they lose the natural oils that keep them flexible and weather-resistant. This leads to cracking, curling, and fading. That’s where Fresh Roof comes in.


Our advanced roof rejuvenation treatment restores the color, flexibility, and waterproofing performance of aging shingles — for a fraction of the cost of replacement.


How Fresh Roof Works

Fresh Roof is a powerful, eco-friendly formula that:


  • Penetrates deep into the shingle, replenishing lost oils.
  • Restores original color and curb appeal, making your roof look nearly new.
  • Extends the life of your shingles by up to six years per application.


And it all happens without a single shingle being torn off — no mess, no waste, no disruption.


Save Thousands Without Sacrificing Quality


With shingle prices continuing to rise, Fresh Roof offers a smarter, more affordable path forward. For most homeowners, our treatment costs 80-90% less than a full roof replacement — and delivers powerful protection, peace of mind, and real visual results.


Whether you're looking to buy some time, stretch your budget, or boost your home’s value before selling, Fresh Roof is the practical alternative that pays off.

How Fresh Roof Helps Reduce Roof Repair Costs During Winter Winter can be one of the toughest seasons for your roof. From heavy snow and ice to freezing temperatures and strong winds, the elements can take a toll on asphalt shingles. Without proper protection, minor issues can escalate into costly repairs that homeowners dread. Fortunately, Fresh Roof offers a proactive solution to help you avoid these headaches while extending the life of your roof. Common Winter Roofing Problems Before we dive into how Fresh Roof can help, let’s take a look at the typical issues your roof might face during the winter months: Leaks and Water Damage: Snow and ice buildup can lead to water seeping under shingles, causing leaks and even structural damage. Granule Loss: The abrasive action of ice and snow can strip granules from shingles, leaving them vulnerable to UV damage and wear. Cracking and Curling Shingles: Freezing and thawing cycles can make shingles brittle, causing them to crack or curl. Ice Dams: Improperly insulated roofs can develop ice dams, which block water drainage and lead to leaks. Each of these problems can turn into expensive repairs if not addressed early. How Fresh Roof Prevents Costly Repairs Fresh Roof’s innovative GreenSoy Technology is designed to protect and maintain your shingles, even in the harshest winter conditions. Here’s how it works: 1. Strengthens Shingles Against the Elements Fresh Roof replenishes the natural oils in asphalt shingles, restoring their flexibility and durability. This helps shingles resist cracking, curling, and other damage caused by freezing temperatures and ice buildup. 2. Locks in Granules Granules are your roof’s first line of defense against UV rays and wear. Fresh Roof’s Granule Lock Technology keeps granules firmly in place, preventing the accelerated wear that often occurs during winter storms. 3. Reduces Moisture Penetration By restoring the protective properties of your shingles, Fresh Roof creates a barrier that helps prevent water and moisture from seeping into your roof. This reduces the risk of leaks and water damage caused by melting snow and ice. 4. Extends Roof Lifespan With regular Fresh Roof treatments, your shingles stay in better condition for longer. This means fewer repairs, less stress, and more savings over the life of your roof. A Cost-Effective Alternative One of the most significant benefits of Fresh Roof is its affordability compared to roof repairs or replacements. A single Fresh Roof treatment can extend the life of your roof by 6 years or more, giving you peace of mind during winter and beyond. Don’t Wait Until It’s Too Late  Winter is already here, but it’s not too late to give your roof the protection it needs. Fresh Roof is the perfect solution to safeguard your home and your wallet from the challenges of winter weather. Ready to protect your roof and avoid costly repairs?
