Roof rejuvenation restores asphalt shingles by replacing the petrochemical oils they lose over time with plant-based oils. The solution used is eco-friendly and can extend the life of your roof by enhancing shingle flexibility, durability, and hail resistance without increasing fire risk. Unlike a full roof replacement, which can take days and disrupt your life, rejuvenation takes just two to three hours. It also costs up to 80% less than the cost to replace the entire roof.

Asphalt shingle roofs don’t last forever, but there are a few steps you can take to help them last longer over the years. Roof rejuvenation is one of the most popular options because it can help you put off early replacement and prevent the need for costly repairs.
Below, we explain our approach to roof rejuvenation at Roof Maxx so that you can understand its potential and decide if it’s right for your roof. You’ll learn how this technology actually works, how it compares to the process of replacing a rooftop, and whether it can help you save thousands on property repairs.
Roof rejuvenation is a commonly used term within the residential market to describe the roof restoration process. This process aims to restore the flexibility, durability, and overall condition of asphalt shingle roofs.
When you restore or rejuvenate your shingles with Roof Maxx, a trained expert sprays a specially formulated mixture of plant-based oils onto the roof to help replenish the oils your shingles lose over the years from exposure to the elements.
Here are some quick facts to help you understand this process from A to Z:
On average, each treatment can extend the life of your roof by up to 5 years. It can help you get up to 15 more years of life out of your shingles if you re-apply it at regular intervals.
The roof rejuvenation treatment we use at Roof Maxx can be an effective way to make the shingles on your roof last longer, especially if they are not yet cracked or otherwise damaged. Roof replacement is very different and involves totally replacing all of your shingles with new ones.
Each process is designed to solve a different problem, so they aren’t really interchangeable. Below, we’ve created a comparison chart that makes the differences clear:
| Feature | Roof Rejuvenation (Roof Maxx) | Roof Replacement |
|---|---|---|
| Typical Cost | Up to 80% less than the cost of a full roof replacement | $20,000–$30,000 for an average home |
| Intended Use | Extend the life of an existing asphalt shingle roof by up to 15 years | Completely replace an old or damaged roof with new materials |
| Time Required | 2 to 3 hours for most homes | 1 to 3 days, depending on roof size and complexity |
| Environmental Impact | Low (uses eco-friendly materials and reduces landfill waste) | High (involves removal and disposal of old shingles, contributing to landfill waste) |
| Disruption to Home | Minimal (no loud construction or debris) | High (potential noise, debris, and temporary inconvenience to homeowners) |
| Effect on Home Value | Moderate (extends the lifespan of the roof and maintains curb appeal) | High (new roofs are often seen as a significant home value booster) |
| Maintenance After Treatment | Annual inspection recommended | Annual inspection recommended |
| Best For | Roofs that are 5-25 years old and structurally sound | Roofs of any age that are nearing the end of their lifespan or are severely damaged |
As you can see from the above, the choice between rejuvenating your roof and replacing it usually comes down to the age and condition of your rooftop. It’s not a question of which approach is better; it’s a question of which one is more cost-effective based on your needs.
Many homeowners mistakenly assume roof replacement is their only option. Jumping to this expensive process even when your shingles can be rejuvenated for a fraction of the cost means you’re spending money unnecessarily. Exploring the benefits of rejuvenation can help you avoid costly mistakes.
Roof rejuvenation is about making shingles flexible again so they can resist the weather.
There are four main long-term benefits from choosing this option:
Benefits like these prove that rejuvenation has an important role to play in long-term roof maintenance. If you’re getting the maximum amount of life out of your shingles, you’ll spend less on your roof over time.
Roof rejuvenation is still a relatively new process, so it’s easy to be skeptical or assume it’s “too good to be true.” But there’s a surprising amount of both scientific and anecdotal evidence available to back it up.
With 100,000+ roofs treated and a stellar 4.9-star rating on Google, it’s clear that homeowners see real value in Roof Maxx. Our customers consistently come back with the same feedback job after job: they see a noticeable improvement in the way their shingles look and feel and love how much money they save.
But don’t just take our word for it. Let them tell you all about it in their own words in our video testimonials!
You’ll learn how Roof Maxx helped:
Results like these speak for themselves, but the science behind the process is just as important.
A study conducted by Ohio State University looked at the effects of Roof Maxx when sprayed on 17-year-old asphalt shingles.
Here are some of the results:
The reason evidence-based options like Roof Maxx are so popular is because they work really well when they’re applied at the right time. It works even better when paired with other roof care strategies.
The benefits of roof rejuvenation aren’t just theoretical. In fact, homeowners all over the country are already experiencing them. Check out the link below to see what a standard home looks like before and after it gets treated with Roof Maxx:
Unfortunately, there’s no way to make asphalt shingles last forever. All roofing materials will eventually reach the end of their life cycle and need to be replaced. But that doesn’t mean there’s nothing you can do to put it off and get as much life out of it as possible.
