So I picked up this roof treatment spray thing from the hardware store a few months back, mostly on a whim because my neighbor swore by it. Honestly, I was skeptical at first—seemed like another gimmicky product—but after applying it, the shingles actually look healthier and cleaner somehow. Maybe it's just me imagining things, you know? Curious if anyone else has tried these roof sprays and noticed a real difference or if I'm just fooling myself here...

Haha, funny you mention that... I had a similar experience last summer. Picked up one of those roof sprays because I got tired of my roof looking like it was auditioning for a haunted house. Honestly, I didn’t expect much—I figured it was just expensive water with some fancy marketing slapped on the bottle.
Anyway, I sprayed it on, waited a few weeks, and sure enough, the roof actually did look noticeably better. At first, I thought it was just wishful thinking, but even my wife (who usually rolls her eyes at my DIY experiments) said it looked "less depressing." So, either it works or we're all just collectively hallucinating healthier shingles... Either way, I'll probably spray it again next year. Just don't tell my neighbor—he'll never let me live it down after I teased him about buying snake oil!
Interesting experiences, but I have to admit I'm still a bit skeptical about these sprays. A few years back, I tried something similar on my roof—followed the instructions exactly, waited patiently... and honestly didn't notice much difference. Maybe it depends on the type of shingles or the climate? Glad it worked for you guys, but I'm sticking with the old-fashioned method of gentle pressure washing every couple of years.
