A Roof Maxx treatment can help your asphalt shingles last for up to five years, and you can repeat it up to 3 times. That’s the kind of benefit any homeowner can get behind, but it makes sense to confirm whether it will affect your home insurance policy before you proceed.
Below, you’ll learn why Roof Maxx not only shouldn’t void your current insurance policy but also just might help you get even better rates in the future. We’ll also look at the many ways Roof Maxx can reduce the need for claims by extending the lifespan of your roof.
Roof Maxx is an all-natural roof rejuvenation solution that works by restoring the flexibility and durability of your roof’s shingles. Unlike most roof coatings, it is 100% compatible with asphalt shingles and doesn’t involve altering any core components, so it shouldn’t void your home insurance policy.
In fact, some insurers give it a thumbs up because:
All of that said, it is still essential to confirm exactly what your policy covers and whether they have any specific clauses for roof restoration. We recommend contacting them directly to ask.
In addition to being insurance-friendly, having your roof treated with Roof Maxx could also raise the chances of you keeping your policy or getting a better rate.
The reasons have to do with the way most providers operate:
A healthier roof means fewer repairs, better energy efficiency, and stronger resale appeal down the road, but insurers also just value reliability and long-term upkeep in general. So, when you choose a roof rejuvenation solution like Roof Maxx, you’re doing your part.
Dennis Gurgone used Roof Maxx to protect the shingles on his home. Years later, his insurance company canceled his homeowner’s insurance because they determined that his property was too old.
Dennis disagreed because he knew Roof Maxx had extended the lifespan of his shingles. So, he contacted us, and we sent an independent auditor out to test his roof.
When the tests showed that Roof Maxx had kept his shingles in excellent condition, he forwarded the results to the head of the underwriting division at his insurance company. They expressed confidence in the product and decided the company would continue insuring Dennis’s property.
