Easy Application Process
Saving your old asphalt shingled roof doesn't get any easier or better than this! Simply clean all dirt, mold, and mildew off, stir contents in can, then roller on with 1/2" nap roller or use a garden-type hand pump sprayer to apply. Let the first coat dry for 3-4 hours, then apply the second coat.
Two Coats Recommended: Most asphalt shingled roofs that need coating are porous and worn out—they'll absorb the first coat. The second coat leaves a protective surface film that stops shingle granule loss, cracking, curling, and leaking.
- Stops Granule Loss: Protective film locks down loose granules
- Prevents Cracking & Curling: Penetrates and seals shingles
- Stops Leaks: Fills microscopic cracks and voids
- Extends Useful Life: Works on clay roof tiles too
- Breathable Formula: Allows moisture vapor to pass through while remaining impervious to water
Important Breathable Technology: Many elastomerics will trap moisture that can damage your roof boards and beams. Our unique breathable coating allows moisture vapor to pass through while remaining impervious to water penetration.
5-Year Warranty • 7-10 Year Lifespan
Consistent Coverage You Can Count On
Our products are sold in five-gallon buckets. Each bucket covers 1250 sq ft. When other coatings give you a range of coverage from low to high, you can rest assured you'll more than likely get the low end. With Armor Shingle Coating, you get 1250 sq ft per pail—no matter what brand of shingle you're coating.
Blue Tint Innovation: ArmorGarage asphalt shingle coating has been formulated with a bluish tint when wet so you can see exactly where it's been applied. Once dry, it turns crystal clear and enhances the beauty of your shingled roof. Applying clear roof coatings from the start makes it easy to miss spots. With our bluish tint, you're assured of complete seamless coverage!
Customer Success Stories
4000 Sq Ft Shingle Roof Project
"I will finish my shingle coating project tomorrow. Here are my findings with my thanks for a GREAT PRODUCT!"
- Blue tint when wet is an awesome indicator of where you left off (saves time and product)
- Product spreads easily with no fumes
- Two coat application really locks down granules (when first coated they were loose, the next day—bonded)
- I can't over emphasize the importance of cleaning (surface preparation)
- No priming
"I've used many coatings in my day and most were fair to mediocre. You usually know how and IF they will work within hours of application—I could tell yours worked right out of the gate."
Multiple Property Owner - 3 Separate Roofs
"Excellent quality product. I have three different properties. I used the product on three separate asphalt shingle roofs. I find the product to be everything that ArmorGarage says it is."
"A little labor intensive. However, I estimate it saved me tens of thousands of dollars."
Long-Lasting Results - 3 Years Later
"Used product 3 years ago on part of the roof. Looks as good as it did when first applied. Thank you!"

Application Tips for Best Results
- Temperature: Apply down to 45°F
- Repairs First: Fix any broken or missing shingles. Use paintable acrylic caulk for large cracks or paintable roof repair tape
- Dry Surface Required: Do not apply to moist or wet roofs or if rain is forecasted within 24 hours
- Structural Limitations: Will not stop leaks from poorly/improperly installed shingles and flashings or improperly pitched roofs—these are structural defects no roof coating can solve
- Tools: Use a 1/2" nap roller and good quality painter's brush for hard-to-reach areas
- Best Method: A garden-type hand pump sprayer usually works best for applying the product

FAQs
Will this stop leaks due to ice damning? No this coating is not designed to cure that, in fact we know of no shingle coating that is.
High Winds will sometimes blow rain underneath the tiles, will this stop that from happening? No that is a shingle and improper installation issue that cannot be corrected via a coating. The only way to solve that issue with a coating is to apply an elastomeric type coating to encapsulate the shingles. You may solve your wind driven leaks this way but you will most likely create another more serious problem of trapping moisture in your roof since elastomerics will not let the roof breathe properly. Many customers have told us they solved this problem by placing a bead of silicone or construction adhesive under the shingles and then applying the coating over the shingles.
Our roof was not pitched properly will the coating prevent leaks from happening? No. Armor Shingle Roof Coating cannot correct structural, installation or faulty tile issues.
How long will your shingle roof coating last? It is designed to last 7-10 years when two coats are applied. When needed you simply apply another single coat that will bond to the original coating extending and preserving the life of your shingles further.
How long will this extend the life of my shingles? Depending on the quality, age and condition of the tiles when you apply the coating it can extend the life cycle of up to 10 or more years. Please note that if you waited too long and your your shingles are cracking, curled up and all or most of the granules have worn off it's really too late for a coating. Our coating cannot bring your shingles back from the dead.
What is the main purpose of this coating? The coating is designed to seal leaks in shingles due to old age, to prevent further loss of the granules, to restore some of the faded color back to your shingles, to extend the useful life of your newer shingles and to preserve older shingles from further deterioration.
How is it applied? It can be applied by roller, hand pump garden sprayer or airless sprayer in two coats. Hand pump garden sprayer is the most popular method.
How long does it take for delivery? This is one of our most popular products and usually ships the next day via FedEx ground or common carrier for larger orders. We have recently increased our production capacity to ensure we don't run out during peak spring and summer months as we occasionally did in the past during heavier than normal order demand.
Roof must be clean of all dirt, mold or mildew. For cleaning we would recommend a solution of 1lb of TSP Powder mixed with 5 gallons of water for every 1000sf of roof area. Apply with a soft scrub brush or shop broom and rinse thoroughly. To remove Mold or Mildew use a strong solution of Bleach or Chlorine mixed in water. Remove the Mold & Mildew first before cleaning rest of roof.
Roof must be 100% dry with no rain forecast for 24 hrs from application. Do not apply below 45 degrees.
Once roof is clean and dry it is simply rolled on with a 3/8" nap roller or can be sprayed out of a good quality garden hand pump sprayer. Some customers have been able to apply to spray it with an airless sprayer. If using a hand pump sprayer remove any filters that may be at the wnad tip or in the handle to prevent clogs. We recommend applying one coat in one direction and the second coat in the opposite direction. Do not try to "Paint" the shingles simply apply the coating at the 1250 sf/gal rate. First coat may seem to disappear on older dried out shingles and you may use slightly more product, this is normal, the second coat will have better coverage now that the shingle pores aree sealed from the first coat and you should average out to the 1250 sf/gal coverage.
All roof defects should be repaired prior to coating. Seal or fix any defective flashings, roof penetrations, cracked or punctured shingles and replace any badly curled and rotted shingles. Do not use silicone for any repairs, nothing will stick to silicone!
