Cutting-edge roof rejuvenation protects homes MnM Roof Regen-Sunshine Coast extends life of exposed surface
Michael Hill made his name in the mixed martial arts (MMA) cage. Now the former professional fighter is bringing that competitive drive to business. Hill is the founder of MnM Roof Regen-Sunshine Coast, a qathet-based company that uses Canadian-made GoNano nanotechnology to rejuvenate roofs, wood and concrete on homes across the region. Instead of replacing aging surfaces, the products penetrate at the molecular level to restore flexibility, repel water and protect against sun, frost, moss and mildew. “Much respect to every person who has built a business and helped grow our community,” says Hill. “Now it’s my turn.” During years of working as a roofer, Hill says he kept looking for a better way to extend the life of a house’s most exposed surfaces. He began following GoNano, a nanotechnology firm recently featured on CBC-TV’s Dragons’ Den, and spent a summer with one of its start-ups in Kelowna. That experience led him to purchase the Sunshine Coast territory and launch MnM Roof Regen earlier this year. “Instead of tearing off and replacing an entire roof, homeowners can OCEAN VIEW

rejuvenate it for a fraction of the cost and extend its lifespan by years,” explains Hill. “It’s Canadian-made, eco-friendly, highly tested and proven to work.” Nanotechnology uses microscopic particles small enough to penetrate materials such as shingles, wood or concrete. GoNano’s formulas bond with those materials, creating a barrier that helps resist water, ultraviolet light and temperature swings. GoNano has earned international attention, including a Resilient Cities Expo 2025 award in Houston, Texas, for work helping cities and homeowners strengthen existing infrastructure. “This isn’t just a win for the company or its dealers, it’s a win for homeowners across Canada,” says Hill. “It proves this technology is the future of exterior home care.” For Hill, MnM Roof Regen is also a way to honour his family’s last name, and the work ethic he learned growing up in the qathet region. “My father is the hardest-working blue-collar man I’ve ever met,” he adds. “This business isn’t just about advanced nanotechnology or rejuvenating roofs. It’s about building something for our family name, helping serve my community and OCEAN VIEW
