Replacing your roof is costly. Don’t believe us? See for yourself with this cost calculator, which also shows you how much money you could potentially save by extending the lifespan of your asphalt shingles with Roof Maxx instead of paying for a full replacement.
The average asphalt shingle roof lasts around 30 years with regular inspections, timely repairs, and roof restoration solutions like Roof Maxx. If you’re already seeing symptoms like cracked, cupped, or missing shingles and granule loss, it’s time to consider replacement, repairs, or restoration.
Asphalt roads and asphalt shingles both fail the same way: the petrochemical oils in the material dry out, leaving it brittle and prone to cracking or breaking.

Our 5-Year Warranty is our promise to you that if they don’t stay flexible for at least 60 months, we’ll retreat them at a prorated cost.

Black or green spots around your windows often signal excess moisture from condensation, poor ventilation, or leaks.

If a roof leak is contributing to the problem, a Roof Maxx Roof Health Check can help you identify areas that need attention.
Hurricane-force winds can turn loose patio furniture into dangerous projectiles or rip asphalt shingles right off of the roof.

There’s a common hidden danger lurking in some residential homes across America, and for once, we aren’t talking about the condition of the roof. Gas leaks can deliver a slow but steady stream of toxic gas into the home that causes headaches, dizziness, nausea, unusual odors, hissing sounds, or even kills your favorite plants. Regular inspections, working detectors, and knowing what to do if you suspect one is the best way to stay safe!
You’re renovating the house, not the roof. So why should your shingles be part of the plan? The truth is that contractors still sometimes need to get up on the roof anyway, and every time they do, the risk for damage increases. That’s especially true on an older roof with aging, brittle shingles.
You found an online guide with strategies for maintaining the roof on your home. Can you trust it? It turns out the answer might be no if you live in a mobile home. Manufactured homes are built to different standards and often have lower pitches and weight limits that significantly change how you should approach care. The good news? Once you know how to handle it the right way, you can follow a maintenance schedule that actually fits the way your roof was built.
Cold-climate weather is hard on the exterior of your home, and the damage starts to stack up as soon as temperatures drop. The best way to prepare is to take care of maintenance needs in the fall. From simple inspections to repairs and shingle rejuvenation treatments, scheduling the right projects at the right time can help you save money on everything from service calls to long-term roof care.
Those clogged gutters, overhanging branches, and missing shingles you’ve been ignoring might seem small, but they can increase your risk for leaks that cost thousands of dollars in damage. Once water gets in and starts to affect your decking and home, the price of remediation increases significantly. Taking simple steps like scheduling yearly inspections can help you extend the life of your roof by decades.
Most homeowners only realize they have a roof leak when they start to notice water leaking through the ceiling, but that’s not where they typically start. The real source is usually aging asphalt shingles with cracks, broken flashing joints, clogged gutters, and worn vent seals. Many Roof Maxx dealers are roofers by trade, so they know exactly which of these failure points to assess first.
Not every aging roof needs replacement, and not every aging roof qualifies for roof restoration. Shingle rejuvenation treatments are specifically formulated to help resolve the oil depletion and brittleness that comes with age, so it works best on roofs that are 5-20 years old but are still in generally good condition. The best way to find out for sure is to book a free assessment. You don’t want to miss out on evidence-based benefits like these!
