Roof restoration is a comprehensive process that revitalizes your existing roof so you can keep using it. It’s more involved than a simple repair, but it’s also faster, more cost-effective, and better for the environment than completely replacing your roof.
Roof restoration with Roof Maxx covers three areas:
The roof surface is cleaned and prepped for any small repair work required. Dirt and debris are removed. The site is assessed for suitability to ensure maximum value from the restoration.
This includes fixing minor leaks, replacing cracked or broken shingles, resealing flashing, checking for small holes, and other minor repairs to get the roof in tip top shape.
Roof Maxx is applied to the roof (a process that takes 2-4 hours), where it is then absorbed by the asphalt shingles over the next 72 hours to replenish the oils they’ve naturally lost over time.

Step 1
This critical first step ensures that your roof is ready to go and that the Roof Maxx application will be absorbed correctly by your shingles.
During this inspection, we look for:
Step 2
This involves patching and sealing any areas where water is penetrating the roof due to damage or natural wear. It may also include resealing flashing and replacing caulking around features like chimneys or vents. This ensures your roof is in optimal condition before Roof Maxx is applied.
This involves making sure your shingles are ready to be treated with Roof Maxx. Moss and other growth will be brushed off the roof before application to verify the condition of your current shingles and ensure maximum penetration.
In some cases, a shingle or section of roofing may have aged beyond repair. Properly replacing these shingles with ones that match the existing roofing style maintains a uniform look while ensuring the roof remains strong and durable after the Roof Maxx treatment.
Dark streaks or patches on a roof, often black or green, are usually caused by algae and other organic growth that thrive in damp, shaded areas. Left untreated, this growth can weaken shingles and even contribute to leaks. While the Roof Maxx treatment itself will not remove existing moss, algae, or mildew, it does contain an ingredient with natural fungicidal properties. By restoring the lost oil and helping to restore water repelling properties, it becomes much harder for moss and algae to return. This helps your roof stay cleaner and in better condition for years to come.
Most roof leaks do not come from the shingles themselves but from vulnerable areas around chimneys, skylights, vents, or where different roof surfaces meet. These spots rely on flashing and caulking to keep water out, and over time, both can crack, dry out, or pull away from the roof. As part of our standard roof tune-up, these areas are carefully inspected and resealed to prevent leaks where they are most likely to occur. By addressing flashing and caulking and fixing nails that have worked their way out of the roof, we strengthen the roof’s most common vulnerabilities and help ensure the roof is ready for long-lasting protection with Roof Maxx.
Step 3
With your roof cleaned, inspected, and prepped, we’re now ready to apply Roof Maxx!
Roof Maxx is sprayed evenly across your roof in a process that usually takes 2-4 hours. Once applied, it will take up to 72 hours to completely absorb.
Roof Maxx uses an eco-friendly plant-based formula to penetrate the asphalt in your shingles, which takes the place of the petrochemical oils they’ve naturally lost over years of exposure to the elements. This improves their flexibility, durability, and remaining lifespan.

| What It Does | Cost | Lifespan Impact | Disruption | Eco-Friendliness | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Repair | Fixes immediate problems like leaks or damaged shingles. Doesn’t address aging oils or long-term wear. | $$ | Short-term (temporary fix) | Low | Medium (can produce waste but maintains current shingles) |
| Replacement | Removes and installs a new roof. Necessary when shingles are too far gone, but often premature. | $$$$$ | Long-term (new roof lifespan) | High (major construction) | Low (old shingles = landfill waste) |
| Restoration (Roof Maxx) | Restores flexibility and waterproofing by replenishing lost oils in shingles. | $ (up to 80% less than replacement) | Extends life 5–15 years | Minimal (quick, non-invasive treatment) | High (plant-based & keeps shingles out of landfills) |
Roof repair addresses immediate issues like leaks or damaged shingles. While it can extend roof life temporarily, it doesn’t tackle long-term wear or lost oils.
Roof replacement involves removing the old roof and installing a new one, which can be costly and disruptive. It’s often unnecessary if restoration is an option.
Roof restoration with Roof Maxx is a cost-effective, eco-friendly solution that extends your roof’s life by 5 to 15 years, at a fraction of the cost of replacement.
