Frequently Asked Questions—Second Chance Roofs

Do You Repair, Restore, and Replace Roofs?

Yes! We’re a restoration-first company, which means we do everything possible to save your existing roof before recommending a replacement. Our process starts with a detailed, free inspection so you understand the actual condition of your roof.

If a simple repair or Nano Sealant treatment will do the job, we’ll tell you. If replacement is truly necessary, we’ll explain why and show you photos. No gimmicks, no pressure—just honest advice.

How Much Does Roof Repair Cost in Washington?

It varies by different factors like damage, materials, and roof design. In Washington, many repairs land around $600 to $5,000+.

• Small fixes (like replacing a few shingles) are on the lower end.

• Storm, structural, or water damage can push costs higher.

Good news: We start with a free inspection and a clear, written estimate. We also offer financing options or a 50/50 payment plan—half to start, half at completion.

How Much Does a Roof Replacement Cost in Washington?

Prices change with size, slope, and materials. Here are example ranges Washington homeowners often see:

• 1,000 sq. ft.—$20,000–$28,000

• 1,300 sq. ft.—$26,000–$36,000

• 1,600 sq. ft.—$32,000–$45,000

• 1,800 sq. ft.—$34,000–$46,000

• 2,200 sq. ft.—$37,000–$56,000

• 3,000 sq. ft.—$44,000–$67,000

That’s why we restore when we can and replace only if it’s a must—to save you money, time, and mess.

Is Roof Restoration Cheaper Than Roof Replacement?

Usually yes. If your roof is a good candidate, restoration with our Nano Sealant is often 20–40% less than a full tear-off. It adds years of life to your roof, strengthens shingles, and provides serious water protection without the mess of demolition.

What Is Nano Sealant, and Why Do You Use It?

Nano Sealant is a clear, eco-friendly solution that bonds at the molecular level to strengthen shingles and block water intrusion. It helps prevent leaks, moss, and mold—while keeping your roof looking like new.

Why we love it:

✔ Zero VOCs (safe for kids and pets)

✔ Invisible finish (no color changes, no texture issues)

✔ Long-lasting (10+ years of protection)

Is Nano Sealant Safe for Kids and Pets?

Yes. Once cured, it’s non-toxic and odor-free. No harsh smells, no residue, and no worries for your two- or four-legged family members.

Nope. Nano Sealant is 100% clear and invisible once applied. It preserves the original look of your shingles while locking in durability. After we prep and clean your roof, it may actually look better than before.

Will Nano Sealant Change the Look or Texture of My Roof?

How Long Does Nano Sealant Last?

Many roofs see 10+ years of protection when properly cleaned and treated, with normal upkeep. We’ll review the product warranty details during your final inspection.

How Long Does a Typical Repair, Restoration, or Roof Replacement Take?

• Repairs: Usually 1 day, sometimes 2 if weather delays.
  

• Restoration (with Nano Seal): 1–3 days depending on prep needs.

• Full Replacement: 3–5+ days depending on roof size and slope.

Yes. We clean before every project so Nano Sealant bonds deep. We also offer stand-alone cleaning to remove moss, dirt, and debris. A clean roof lasts longer and looks better (your HOA and that one nosy neighbor will approve).
