Loss of flexibility is the single biggest factor in shingle failures. Like asphalt roads, the petrochemical oils inside the material can dry out over time and become brittle. Roof Maxx restores flexibility and extends the life of your roof by infusing each shingle with millions of microbeads containing safe, all-natural oils. The treatment is backed by decades of research and a 5-Year Flexibility Warranty that gives you a clear path to resolution if shingles don’t stay flexible for 60 months.

Every home services company, no matter how good, eventually earns a negative review. It’s the nature of the business. Roofing work is personal. It’s your home, your investment, your peace of mind. When something feels off, people want to be heard.
At Roof Maxx, we’re no different. Spend a little time researching us online and you’ll come across a review or two questioning whether our treatment delivers. We take every one of those seriously.
Usually, concerns like these come down to fair questions about the treatment process and the benefits it can provide. Once you understand the science behind roof restoration and learn about our 5-Year Flexibility Warranty, it’s easier to see why so many homeowners walk away satisfied.
Below, you’ll learn how Roof Maxx helps extend the life of your roof by up to 15 years, the science that proves it’s effective, and how our 5-Year Flexibility Warranty helps protect your investment. We’ll also give you the legalese-free explanation of what’s covered, who qualifies, and how to make a claim.
Asphalt roofs and asphalt roads both fail the same way: the natural oils that keep the material within them flexible dry out when they’re exposed to the elements. By around year 7-10, shingles are usually noticeably more brittle to the touch, and in some cases, may even have hairline cracks.
Eventually, that loss of flexibility will lead to:
Loss of flexibility is the single biggest factor in the early failure of shingles, and it’s a bigger deal than most homeowners realize. Once that first layer of protection against the elements is jeopardized, your entire roof becomes more vulnerable to damage and leaks.
Roof Maxx is a safe, all-natural shingle rejuvenation treatment that was specifically engineered to replace the oils asphalt shingles lose over time. Millions of tiny microbeads soak down deep into the asphalt core as it’s applied, softening it and making it flexible again.
Treated shingles:
The formula for Roof Maxx was developed in partnership with the Ohio Soybean Council and one of the world’s largest research and development companies. Independent testing at Ohio State University confirmed that the treatment restores flexibility to aging asphalt shingles.
That’s the foundation for our claim that Roof Maxx extends the life of your roof by up to five years.
Restore flexibility, and you give your roof a better shot at reaching its full lifespan. At a time when shingles aren’t lasting as long as they used to, making the most of what you already have makes sense!
Roof Maxx’s 5-Year Flexibility Warranty is designed to give you the confidence and peace of mind to know that roof restoration is the right choice. It’s a simple, ironclad commitment: your shingles will stay flexible for a full five years after treatment, or we’ll come out and make it right.
Making a claim is straightforward:
We don’t expect you to get up on the roof, and in fact, we don’t recommend it unless you have the proper safety equipment. But in general, you’re looking for the same symptoms mentioned earlier in this guide.
The warranty itself is fully transferable, which can act as an incentive if you decide to sell your home. It also stays in place even if your original manufacturer’s warranty expires or no longer applies. Adding this feature was important to us because so many of the homeowners we work with have older roofs.
Roof Maxx won’t magically repair roof damage, fix leaks, or make your shingles fireproof, but by making your shingles flexible again, it does allow you to get more life out of your existing roof. That’s why the scope of our 5-Year Warranty is limited to flexibility only.
The warranty doesn’t cover:
Exclusions like these might seem strict, but they’re relatively standard across the roofing industry. You’ll find that most manufacturers, installers, and contractors will only claim responsibility for their own work, and it’s the same here at Roof Maxx.
The only way to determine if you qualify for Roof Maxx, and the 5-Year Warranty that comes with it, is to schedule a free roof assessment. The treatment works best on asphalt shingle roofs that are still in generally good condition, and while most homeowners do qualify, it’s important to be sure it’s the right fit.
Roof Maxx might not be right for you if your roof has:
When the damage is this severe or widespread, you might need to repair your roof first or replace it instead. Your Roof Maxx dealer will go over their findings with you so you can find the best path forward.
We recommend scheduling your first treatment by the time your roof is around 5-8 years old, depending on the type of shingles you have and how harsh the climate is in your region. Very hot or very cold weather, high UV indexes, ice storms, hurricanes, and other severe weather will all age shingles faster.
What matters more than the age of your roof is the overall condition it’s in. We regularly service roofs that are 20+ years old and have successfully extended the life of 30+ year old asphalt shingles in the past.
Roof Maxx’s guarantee is built around the one factor that has the biggest impact on how long your shingles last over time: loss of flexibility. It’s our promise to you that you can trust the treatment to keep protecting your shingles from drying out for at least five years or we’ll make it right.
Don’t let shingle degradation force you into an early replacement you didn’t plan for and don’t need. Take the first step toward a longer-lasting roof by scheduling your free roof assessment today.
It shouldn’t, and in some cases, it may even help you get better rates. Having your roof treated shows your provider that you’re willing to do whatever you can to keep your roof in good condition, and that means you’re less likely to need to file a claim in the first place.
No. We’ve worked closely with construction and contract attorneys to review the warranties of every major shingle manufacturer that sells products to the US market. One of the largest manufacturers in the industry directly confirmed that coatings and penetrants like Roof Maxx don’t affect their policies.
It’s a hands-on inspection process your dealer runs through after getting up on the roof. They’ll closely examine your shingles in multiple areas to look for signs that your shingles are drying out again. If they find anything, they’ll let you know and help you come up with a plan.
Some Roof Maxx dealers offer a Roof Tune-Up to address minor issues like small leaks, nail pops, one or two missing shingles, or flashing failures. Scheduling a treatment can be an excellent way to get these fixed and treat flexibility loss at the same time.
With our five-year, transferable warranty, you’ll enjoy the peace of mind that your roof and entire home are protected.
