The company said the system can extend the life of a roof while avoiding the cost and disruption of a tear-off.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re excited to introduce Liqua-Roof to homeowners across Pittsburgh,\u201d said Eddie Agate, noting the approach aims to reduce expense and project time compared with traditional replacement.<\/p>\n<p>The system differs from standard coatings by adding a bonded granule layer intended to improve durability and weather resistance. Company officials said testing shows increased impact resistance, though independent verification details were not provided.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGranulock is what truly sets this system apart,\u201d said Michael Agate. \u201cWe\u2019re resurfacing it with granules that bond directly to the shingle surface.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Related:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.roofingcontractor.com\/articles\/101554-eco-roof-sprays-promise-longer-life-less-waste\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Eco Roof Sprays Promise Longer Life, Less Waste<\/a><\/p>\n<p>After a decade of development, the company now manufactures Liqua-Roof entirely in-house \u2014 a process that required not only mastering the product itself, but building the machinery to handle it. With that foundation in place, the company currently operates out of Pittsburgh, Columbus, Ohio, and Knoxville, Tenn., and is actively looking to expand its footprint across the United States and Canada.<\/p>\n<p>The launch comes as contractors and homeowners face rising material costs and ongoing labor constraints. Industry data cited by the company estimates that 11 million to 13 million tons of roofing waste are sent to landfills annually in North America.<\/p>\n<p>Founder Carmelo Marsala said the Pittsburgh expansion reflects growing demand for alternatives to replacement. \u201cHomeowners now have access to resurfacing technology designed to extend roof life and reduce unnecessary replacement,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>The service is targeted primarily at residential asphalt shingle roofs, with some commercial applications.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A roof resurfacing service is launching in Pittsburgh, offering homeowners an alternative to full roof replacement as aging&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":152262,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[28,30,29,69226,680,69225],"class_list":["post-152261","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-pennsylvania","tag-pennsylvania","tag-pennsylvania-headlines","tag-pennsylvania-news","tag-residential-roofing-contractor","tag-restoration","tag-shingles"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/152261","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=152261"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/152261\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/152262"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=152261"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=152261"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=152261"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
