Summary

Free online tools can help you estimate how much life you have left in your asphalt shingle roof. It works by factoring in influences like the installation date (if known), type of shingles, local climate, and whether you already have signs of wear and tear, like cracking, cupping, or granule loss. Shingle rejuvenation can help roll back the clock on asphalt shingle roofs that are still in generally good condition. For severe damage, replacement may be better.

DISCLAIMER:

The results provided by this estimator are for general informational purposes only and do not constitute a professional roof assessment. The only way to confirm if Roof Maxx can help you get more life out of your asphalt shingle roof is to have a certified Roof Maxx dealer come out and evaluate your roof in person. Treatment results may vary based on the actual condition of your roof at the time of application and other factors not captured by this tool. To schedule a free, no-obligation assessment, contact a dealer in your area now.

How Roof Maxx Helps Protect Your Asphalt Shingle Roof

Roof Maxx’s safe, all-natural roof restoration solution can extend the life of your asphalt shingles by up to 15 years if you time it right. We typically recommend scheduling the first treatment as soon as you start to notice signs of aging, then reapplying it up to two more times at five-year intervals.

 

The treatment process is quick and easy:                                                                                  

  • A dealer from your local area will assess your roof and determine if you qualify for Roof Maxx
  • They’ll clean off any debris on the surface and spray the treatment onto your shingles 
  • Shingles will become more flexible and less likely to crack over the next 24-48 hours

The good news is that Roof Maxx treatments cost up to 80% less than a total replacement, which means that roof restoration can help you save money up front and over time. Having more money in your pocket or emergency fund is always a good thing.

Extending the Life of Your Roof Starts With Roof Maxx

Mother Nature can be really hard on asphalt shingles, especially if you live along the coast where hurricanes and other storms are more common. Roofs that are constantly bombarded by ice, snow, rain, and high winds are much more likely to fail early unless you take action to protect them.

Frequently Asked Questions About Roof Longevity

The simple truth is that most homeowners can’t tell from the ground, and we never recommend climbing up on your roof as it isn’t safe. Instead, give us a call so we can connect you with a dealer in your area who can come out, assess it, and make recommendations based on what they find.

We’ll tell you during or after your assessment. Roof Maxx isn’t suitable for roofs with severe damage, active leaks, or structural issues. In those cases, repair or replacement may be the better option, or the roof may need extensive repairs before the treatment can be applied.

Again, we don’t recommend walking on your roof unless you have the right safety equipment and know how to use it safely. The risk for a fall is extremely high if you don’t have the proper gear or training.

 

If you’re going to get up there anyway, please read our roof safety guide first:
