The Last Roof You’ll Ever Need
High Country Roof Revival is proud to be a certified GoNano contractor, offering homeowners access to advanced nanosilica roof treatment technology. Unlike traditional surface coatings, GoNano is designed to penetrate and strengthen asphalt shingles from within, helping improve durability, extend roof life, and create long-term savings compared to early roof replacement.
GoNano vs Traditional Sealants - Why It Matters for Colorado Roofs
GoNano's asphalt enhancement sealant has been validated by the scientific community - tested by UL, CNETE, and Green Center with over $1 million invested in independent research.
Traditional Sealants
Acts as an isolated, protective layer
Typical repair on microscale, adds layer of oil
Less durable, flexible and resilient to aging due to environmental conditions
Requires retreatment every 5 years — 3 times over a 15-year period
GoNano Sealant
Modifies the mechanical properties of asphalt
Nanoscale (1000X smaller than a micro meter) forms precise shapes into asphalt pores
Bonds to each asphalt shingle, and each shingle to the other
One treatment lasts 10–15 years — no retreatments needed
GoNano Advantages
As Seen on Dragon's Den — GoNano's Proven Track Record
GoNano technology earned national recognition when it appeared on Dragon's Den (Canada's premier entrepreneurial investment program, equivalent to Shark Tank). The product's science, market opportunity, and real-world results drew serious investor interest — a testament to the technology's legitimacy and commercial viability.
High Country Roof Revival is a certified authorized applicator of GoNano technology in Southwest Colorado — meaning we've completed the required training and quality standards to apply this product correctly and safely.
The result: research shows one treatment of GoNano extends the average roof’s lifespan by 15 years.
GoNano Advantages
Once modified, the new structural form of the asphalt permanently enhances its durability, specifically its flexibility, water resistance, and anti-aging performance — protecting your roof through Colorado's hail, UV, and freeze-thaw cycles.
PERMANENT STRUCTURE MODIFICATION LASTS 10-15 YEARS
The GoNano Effect
Modifies the molecular structure of asphalt shingles.
After application, reaction occurs with each shingle.

S1 particles enter into asphalt pores and move outward, connecting with other shingles.
During reaction, both inorganic & organic material create chemical links, called S1 particles.
THE RESULT
A UNIFIED BARRIER AGAINST STRAINS CAUSED BY ENVIROMENTAL FACTORS
GoNano technology has changed how roof sealants work. Traditional shingles are sealed with oil, which simply fills the gaps between them. GoNano works deeper — it permanently strengthens the molecular structure of each asphalt shingle. After application, a reaction inside the shingle creates S1 particles, which bonds the granules together. This inside-out protection forms a stronger barrier against the elements and helps extend the lifespan of your roof, saving you money.
Nanosilica
Nanosilica is an inorganic nanomaterial, like silica, with very high density (99%). It is synthetically created via one of three methods:
• Precipitation: silica reacts in a solvent, then purified and dispersed.
•Hydrothermal/Solvothermal: silica undergoes precipitation under high pressure and temperature.
• Thermal reduction: silica heated to 1700–2300°C.Its enhanced performance comes from pozzolanic reactivity, which fills pores and strengthens materials.
Third-Party Tested. Independently Verified.
GoNano technology has undergone rigorous third-party laboratory and field testing:
CNETE Laboratory Testing — Independent materials testing confirming nano-silica penetration depth and structural bond strength in asphalt shingles
UL 2218 Impact Resistance Relevance — Post-treatment shingles demonstrate improved resistance to impact stress, relevant to hail claims in Colorado insurance markets
Pozzolanic Reactivity Confirmation — Peer-reviewed materials science confirms nano-silica's reactive bonding mechanism with silicate aggregates (the same chemistry that makes GoNano work at the molecular level)
Field Performance Data — Multi-year real-world case studies demonstrating granule loss reduction and waterproofing improvement in treated roofs

GONANO CLASSES
Roof Classes and Certification
CLASS 1
Least resistant, can withstand at most a 1.25 inch steel ball test.
CLASS 2
Can withstand at most a 1.5 inch steel ball test.
CLASS 3
Can withstand at most a 1.75 inch steel ball test.
CLASS 4
Highest resistance, can withstand up to a 2 inch steel ball test.
Shingle Roof Classifications & GoNano Impact:
Roofs are tested by Underwriters Laboratories for impact resistance, simulating hailstorms.
-Classes 1–4: Class 1 = least resistant, Class 4 = most resistant.
-Class 4 test: 2-inch steel ball dropped from 20 ft → no damage or cracking.
-Class 3–1: Steel balls gradually smaller; lower classes have more granule loss and shorter lifespan.
-Lifespan: Class 4 = 22–25 years; Class 1 ≈ 10–15 years.
-GoNano effect:1 treatment → Class 1 → Class 32 treatments → Class 1 → Class 4
Insurance Partnerships & Deductible Benefits
GoNano's performance data has attracted the attention of property and casualty insurers who recognize that roof rejuvenation is a legitimate loss-prevention strategy.
What this means for you:
Some insurance carriers offer premium reductions or deductible credits for homeowners who demonstrate proactive roof maintenance with certified products like GoNano
A rejuvenated roof with restored impact resistance may support a Class 4 impact-resistance designation under UL 2218, which many Colorado insurers reward with significant discounts
Extending your roof's life avoids the claims complexity and cost increases that come with full replacement

Environment
In the coming years, the effects of climate change will mean an increase in severity of hail storms. Impact-resistant shingles will be a necessity for protection against increased frequency and strength of future storms.
GoNano’s technology provides a major innovation that transforms traditional roofs into hailstorm resistant roofs at a fraction of the cost of hailstorm resistant shingles.
We are the first and only company to offer this technology to the residential and commercial market.
GoNano has been tested to comply with the highest North American standards.
In addition, GoNano’s technology is completely safe for the environment and poses no threat to human health.
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration categorized GoNano’s technology as “quickly biodegradable”, “no bioaccumulation potential”, and “no harm to aquatic organisms”.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How does GoNano roof rejuvenation work?
A: GoNano is a patented nano-silica compound that penetrates deep into the asphalt matrix at a molecular level, restoring flexibility, re-bonding granules, and creating a UV-resistant barrier that can extend your roof's life by up to 15 years.
Q: Is GoNano roof rejuvenation safe for my home?
A: Yes. GoNano is a water-based, non-toxic product that has been independently tested by third-party laboratories including CNETE. It poses no risk to your family, pets, landscaping, or gutters.
Q: How long does roof rejuvenation last?
A: GoNano applications are typically rated to extend roof life by up to 15 years, depending on the age and condition of the shingles at time of treatment and local weather conditions.
Q: Is roof rejuvenation cheaper than roof replacement?
A: Significantly. The average asphalt roof replacement in Southwest Colorado costs $15,000–$30,000+. Roof rejuvenation with GoNano typically costs a fraction of that — and can defer replacement by up to 15 years.
Q: Do insurance companies recognize GoNano treatments?
A: Some insurance carriers offer premium reductions or deductible credits for homeowners who use certified products that improve impact resistance. Ask us at your free roof inspection about insurers that recognize GoNano in your area.
Q: Does GoNano work on all types of roofs?
A: GoNano is specifically formulated for asphalt shingle roofs. It works best on roofs between 5 and 15 years old that are structurally sound and have not yet reached severe end-of-life degradation.
