ROOF SCIENTIST is a modern roofing franchise that provides roof repair, restoration, and replacement services for residential and commercial clients. The brand is known for its proprietary nano-ceramic coating technology, Cericade™, which restores and protects aging asphalt shingle roofs.
This science-driven approach offers customers a cost-effective alternative to full roof replacement while reducing material waste.
The company traces its origins back to 1995 and operates under the HomeFront Brands umbrella. ROOF SCIENTIST began franchising in 2021 as part of its nationwide expansion strategy.
The franchise is headquartered in Charlotte, North Carolina, where it oversees brand development, training, and operational support for its growing network.
ROOF SCIENTIST offers services including roof inspections, repairs, replacements, and its signature Cericade™ roof-treatment system. Its differentiation comes from its restoration-first philosophy, using advanced coating technology to extend roof life rather than defaulting to replacement.
Here's what you would need to invest if you were to start this franchise. These costs are provided by the franchisor in the Franchise Disclosure Document.
ROOF SCIENTIST provides franchisees with a thorough, structured training program to ensure successful operation of their business. The programs are as follows:
ROOF SCIENTIST grants its franchisees a Designated Territory, which typically includes about 80,000 qualified households. Within this territory, the franchisor agrees not to establish or license another franchise under the Roof Scientist brand for the duration of the agreement, provided the franchisee remains in good standing.
The territory's boundaries are determined using demographic data and can be described using various geographic markers such as zip codes or landmarks.
However, the protection is not fully exclusive. The franchisor and its affiliates reserve the right to use alternate distribution channels—including online platforms and National Accounts—that may operate within the franchisee’s territory.
