A South Shore specialist, with the lab data to back it up.
Thomas Balkus, Founder.
Thomas grew up between the North and South Shores of Massachusetts. Before founding Rowan Thomas Roof Restoration, he spent years running operations and sales — work that taught him one thing above all: when you're working on someone's largest asset, you tell them the truth.
Rowan Thomas was built around that principle. A single focused service — roof rejuvenation — done right, with documentation at every step, for the homeowners and weather of the South Shore.

Most roofs are replaced for the wrong reason.
Why shingles fail
Asphalt shingles are bound by oils. Over time those oils oxidize and evaporate — the shingle loses flexibility, cracks, curls, and sheds granules.
The misdiagnosis
Traditional roofing calls this 'age.' The real issue is dehydration and oxidation — a chemistry problem with a chemistry solution.
What GreenSoy™ does
Soy-derived polymers penetrate the shingle, bond with the asphalt, re-seal granules, and rebuild UV protection. From within — not on top.

Keeping serviceable roofs out of the waste stream.
Asphalt shingle tear-off sends millions of tons of material to U.S. landfills every year. Rejuvenation keeps a perfectly serviceable roof in place — and the shingles you already paid for, on your house.
