Cericade transforms your existing roof — making it stronger than new, protected for up to 35 years, at a fraction of the cost of replacement. No tear-off. No construction zone. No $30,000 shock.
We’ll inspect the issue and give you honest options.
Your roof is aging. You’re seeing granule loss, black streaks, maybe a small leak. You call a few roofing companies. Here’s what happens:
A salesperson shows up, measures your roof, and quotes you $25,000–$40,000. They talk about new shingles, a "lifetime warranty," and a timeline that'll turn your house into a construction zone for a week. Your stomach drops.
A handyman says he can patch it for $500. But you know that's a band-aid. The leak comes back in six months. The deterioration keeps spreading. You're paying $500 every year to delay the same $30,000 bill.
So you wait. A year. Two years. Five years. Meanwhile, the damage spreads. The energy bills climb. The $25,000 quote becomes $40,000 because the decking is now rotting. Your insurance shifts to actual cash value — your 14-year-old roof gets you $8,300 instead of replacement cost.
You shouldn’t have to choose between a $30,000 replacement and a $500 band-aid. There’s a third option that most roofing companies will never tell you about — because there’s no $30,000 commission in it for them.
Locks shingle granules in place — stopping the #1 cause of roof aging. Tested at hurricane-level Category 5 strength: 160 MPH winds for one full hour. No other residential roofing system in Wisconsin can make that claim.
Exceeded the highest impact rating available with absolutely no granule loss. Self-healing characteristics mean hail that would destroy a new shingle bounces off a Cericade-fortified one.
Nearly 100% waterproof on new shingles. Increases water resistance up to 300% on 20-year-old shingles. Class A fire rating. Heat-reflective, UV-resistant — your aging roof becomes more weather-resistant than the day it was installed.
Backed by third-party insurance — not just the contractor’s word. Transferable to the next homeowner, increasing your home’s resale value. Real, insured protection regardless of what your homeowner’s policy says.
We examine your roof, attic, ventilation, and entire building envelope — not just the shingles.
Our Certified Home Advisor examines your shingles, underlayment, flashing, attic ventilation, and building envelope. We use infrared scanning to find hidden moisture and air leaks. We determine if your roof qualifies for Cericade — and we’ll tell you honestly if it doesn’t.
If we find ventilation issues, flashing failures, or moisture damage, we fix them first. This is the step nobody else does — and it’s the reason Cericade works permanently on Guardian-installed roofs. We don’t fortify on top of hidden problems.
Cericade is applied to your existing roof, transforming it on a molecular level. No tear-off. No construction debris. No week-long disruption. When we’re done, your aging roof is stronger than new — protected against wind, hail, water, fire, and UV damage for up to 35 years.
Most Wisconsin homeowners don’t know how their home insurance has quietly changed. A fortified roof with Class 4 impact resistance and 160 MPH wind testing is dramatically less likely to sustain damage in the first place — and the 35-year transferable warranty means real, insured protection regardless of what your policy says.
Many policies have shifted from a flat $500 to 1–2% of your home’s value. A $500,000 home now has a $5,000–$10,000 deductible — money out of your pocket before insurance pays anything.
Many insurers have switched from “replacement cost” to “actual cash value.” That means your 14-year-old roof might pay $8,300 on $20,000 in damage — after your deductible. Not enough to replace anything.
We can review your current policy and show you exactly where you’re exposed — and how Cericade closes those gaps. Free. No obligation. Real protection that doesn’t depend on insurance fine print.
