Can Roof Maxx Help New Roofs Last Longer?

Short Answer: We do not suggest treating with Roof Maxx until the top granule coating begins shedding off. Once this begins to happen, it’s a sign the roof is undergoing stress during contraction and expansion. Be aware that if your asphalt roof is less than 6-8 years old and you live in warmer southern climates or is less than 8-10 years old and you live in northern climates, it may still have much of its original oil. This means it likely won’t need to be treated with Roof Maxx just yet. But, if your roof is close to those age ranges, it’s best to have a Roof Maxx dealer at least check it for granule loss and other issues to see if Roof Maxx can start extending the life of your roof (by 5 years!) right now.Contact ustoday with any questions or inquiries. We look forward to showing you the difference Roof Maxx can make when it comes to sustaining and beautifully maintaining your roof.

Will Roof Maxx Seal My Roof from Leaks?

Short Answer: No, because 99% of roof leaks occur at the flashings, the most leak-prone areas of the roof, such as around chimneys and skylights or along a wall.

Is Roof Maxx Safe?

Yes. Roof Maxx is safe for people, pets, property, and the environment. It’s actually been certified as a USDA BioPreferred product. As your roof gets older, the oils inside begin to dry out, causing the shingles to become brittle. As a result, they no longer have the flexibility needed to withstand the elements and they slowly begin to break apart.Roof Maxx rejuvenates your roof by restoring the shingles to near the durability and water-proofing levels they reached when they were new. This is accomplished when millions of microbeads saturate the brittle parts of your roof, similar to the way moisturizer works for your skin. The all-natural oils also improve granule adhesion, meaning the shingles are less prone to damage during strong winds. While Roof Maxx is easily soaked up and retained by asphalt shingles, it can be rinsed off any other surface with a garden hose. Within 30 minutes, the product will be completely absorbed, so rain won’t be a problem. It is also a non-flammable product, so it will not increase the risk of fire or the spreading of flames.When you have a new roof installed or a roofer makes repairs, you will most likely find nails and garbage surrounding your house, even after they’ve cleaned up. With Roof Maxx, not only is there no oily residue leftover from our treatments, but you won’t have to worry about other messes in your yard when we’re through.Is Roof Maxx safe? Yes, Roof Maxx is a scientifically formulated, natural, safe, plant-based roof rejuvenating spray treatment that was developed by Battelle Labs, the world’s largest private research and development company.Contact Roof Maxx today for more information about our all-natural treatments for your roof!

Is There a Benefit to Having My Roof Treated with Roof Maxx If I’m Selling My House?

Definitely! We’ve heard of many situations in which older roofs have caused home deals to fall through. Or, just as bad, a potential home buyer will ask a seller to reduce the price of a home by $10,000 or more because the roof shows signs of aging. The good news is that Roof Maxx has saved hundreds of real estate transactions in which the roof was a point of contention—and our warranty is fully transferable without restrictions. Contact a nearby Roof Maxx dealer for an assessment to find out if your roof could benefit from Roof Maxx.

Can Asphalt Shingles Be Recycled?

Asphalt shingles can absolutely be recycled, but only around 9% of asphalt shingles end up getting recycled into other things, such as the necessary ingredients for asphalt roads. This low percentage seems to be connected to the cost of the recycling process and a lack of asphalt-recycling facilities. It’s also much easier to simply discard used-up shingles into dumps and landfills. When asphalt is dumped into a landfill, it will sit there for many, many years because it isn’t biodegradable. Recycling is more common today than it was years ago. However, some things aren’t being recycled as quickly or efficiently as could be hoped. This is because the process of recycling is very involved and takes a lot of time and money. This is true of basically any recyclable items, including metals, glass, hard and soft plastics, and even asphalt shingles. However, because asphalt is on the list of recyclable items that aren’t being recycled at a high rate, choosing to recycle them might not be the best idea.So what’s the solution? While we wait for the asphalt-recycling system to get set up to a point that allows them to start recycling more of the world’s used asphalt, those of us who own homes or various properties can extend the lives of asphalt roofs and keep our shingles out of landfills for as long as possible with Roof Maxx. Contact us at Roof Maxx today with any questions about our roof maintenance products that can lengthen the life of your asphalt shingles.

How Long Does the Average Asphalt Roof Last?

The founders of Roof Maxx were professional roofers for over 30 years before starting Roof Maxx. Throughout their careers, they noticed a decline in the quality of asphalt shingles that contributed to roofs lasting less time than they used to. In fact, today’s shingles are about a third lighter than they were just a few decades ago. This is because they include less asphalt, which is where they get the oil that keeps them pliable. So newer shingles are drying out, cracking, and breaking apart sooner than they used to.Most roofs built in recent decades last 15-20 years, with roofs in less sunny climates tending to last slightly longer due to less UV exposure. The weather, the manufacturer, and other factors play a part in each roof’s lifetime. So, unfortunately, there’s just no way to truly guess how long a roof will last. (Believe us, we’ve tried.)If your asphalt roof is more than 6-8 years old in southern climates and more than 8-10 years old in northern climates, we suggest contacting a local Roof Maxx dealer for an assessment. The dealer can estimate how much life is left on your roof and whether it’s the right time to apply Roof Maxx to add five years of life to it right away. However, don’t worry if your roof is older than that. While older roofs may require a few repairs before we can treat them, we often apply Roof Maxx to roofs around 15-20 years old and have even been able to save some as old as 30.

Could Roof Maxx Make an Asphalt Roof Last Forever?

So, can Roof Maxx make an asphalt roof last forever? Sadly, nothing lasts forever. But so far, Roof Maxx has been proven through testing and research done at The Ohio State University to add an average of 15 years of life to an asphalt roof. Roof Maxx is designed to add years to your asphalt roof; over the years we’ve proven that our product can add five years of life per application to an intact asphalt roof. Having an intact asphalt roof means any structural issues have been repaired and everything is as it should be before we apply Roof Maxx to your roof. Roofs experience a lot of wear and tear. After all, they are designed to protect the inside of homes and buildings from the elements. When an asphalt roof undergoes hundreds or thousands of days worth of exposure to rain and wind, snow, and sleet, it will eventually need to be replaced. However, it doesn’t need to be replaced for additional years if treated properly. Treatments come with a five-year transferable warranty. Repeating treatments every five years can extend your roof’s life by up to fifteen years. But, you never know! We could get 15 years down the road and find out that even longer is possible.Have other questions about Roof Maxx besides if it could make an asphalt roof last longer? Contact us today.

How Long Does a Roof Maxx Treatment Take?

The application of a Roof Maxx treatment takes between 30 minutes at the least and a few hours at the most. The time it takes to apply the treatment will depend on the size of your roof and the state and condition of your roof and asphalt shingles.

Smaller roofs that are clean and in good repair, other than brittle and inflexible shingles, can usually be finished in as little as a half hour. The Roof Maxx treatment will take longer, up to several hours, if the technician notes any issues that require additional steps to prepare the asphalt roof for treatment. This pretreatment tune-up may include removing debris such as sticks or leaves, sealing exposed nails, and securing loose flashing. All of these need to be done before Roof Maxx can be applied.There may be some additional problems or repairs needed before Roof Maxx can be applied. We will examine your roof for problems and leaks, let you know if there are any problems, and make recommendations for fixing them.
