What is Roof Maxx?
Roof Maxx is the world’s first asphalt roof rejuvenator.[1] It is a spray-on treatment of plant-based, food-grade soy methyl esters, derived from soybean oils. It is safe for people, pets, property, and the environment. In fact, Roof Maxx is even certified as a USDA BioPreferred product.
What does Roof Maxx Do?
Once Roof Maxx has been applied to your shingles, it returns them to nearly new condition. This isn’t just a claim; it’s based on research findings from Roof Maxx testing conducted by The Ohio State University.[2] It penetrates deeply into asphalt (or composite) shingles to replace the asphalt’s original petrochemical-based oils that dry out and evaporate over your roof’s lifespan, which leaves them brittle. Roof Maxx thus restores your shingles’ flexibility, durability, and water resistance – everything your roof needs to help it withstand the elements. Roof Maxx can even begin waterproofing your shingles within 30 minutes.
What are Roof Maxx’s Benefits?
Modern asphalt shingle roofs tend to last around fifteen to twenty years. However, roofs here in Georgia tend to run on the shorter end of that range, due to the increased UV exposure of southern roofs. Indeed, asphalt shingle roofs in Georgia will have lost enough of their original oils to be potential candidates for Roof Maxx within six to eight years of their original installation. When you restore your roof with a Roof Maxx treatment, it comes with a five-year, fully transferrable warranty. This means that, should you sell your home within five years of the warranty, it will fully transfer to the home’s new owner. If you continue to treat your roof with Roof Maxx every five years, you could extend the life of your roof up to 15 years longer. And, of course, each additional treatment comes with another five-year, fully transferable warranty. Roof Maxx also adds no increased fire risk and reduces hail damage by up to 24 percent.
So, what is Roof Maxx’s cost? The total cost varies depending on the size and condition of your roof, but it will cost you only about 20% of a roof replacement. And with roof replacement costs continuing to rise in recent years, that’s no small figure.
