Frequently Asked Questions About Roof Maxx
What is Roof Maxx?
Roof Maxx is a plant based roof rejuvenation treatment designed to restore flexibility to aging asphalt shingles. It replenishes oils that naturally dry out over time, helping extend the life of eligible asphalt roofs.
How does Roof Maxx work?
Roof Maxx penetrates asphalt shingles and replaces the oils lost through years of sun exposure and weather. This helps shingles remain more flexible and resistant to cracking.
How long does Roof Maxx last?
Each Roof Maxx treatment can extend the life of qualifying asphalt shingles by up to five years. Eligible roofs may receive multiple treatments over their lifetime.
How much can Roof Maxx extend the life of my roof?
Depending on your roof’s condition, Roof Maxx can help extend its service life by up to 15 years through multiple applications performed at the proper intervals.
Is my roof a good candidate for Roof Maxx?
Roof Maxx works best on asphalt shingle roofs that are aging but still structurally sound. Thompson Roofing performs a professional inspection to determine if your roof qualifies before recommending treatment.
Can Roof Maxx fix roof leaks?
No. Roof Maxx is a preventative maintenance treatment, not a roof repair product. Existing leaks, damaged flashing, missing shingles, or structural issues should be repaired before treatment.
Is Roof Maxx a replacement for a new roof?
No. Roof Maxx is intended to delay replacement on roofs that are still in good condition. If your roof has extensive damage or has reached the end of its useful life, replacement is usually the better option.
What types of roofs can be treated?
Roof Maxx is designed specifically for asphalt shingle roofing systems. It is not intended for metal, slate, tile, cedar shake, or flat roofing materials.
How long does the application take?
Most residential Roof Maxx applications are completed within a few hours, depending on the size, slope, and condition of the roof.
How soon can it rain after Roof Maxx is applied?
The treatment is typically absorbed within about 30 minutes under normal conditions, although weather and humidity can affect absorption times.
Is Roof Maxx safe for my family, pets, landscaping, and the environment?
Yes. Roof Maxx is a plant based treatment that is considered safe for people, pets, plants, and surrounding landscaping when applied by trained professionals.
Will Roof Maxx change the appearance of my roof?
No. Roof Maxx is absorbed into the shingles and does not change the color or appearance of your roof.
Does Roof Maxx remove black streaks, moss, or algae?
No. Roof Maxx is not a roof cleaning product. If your roof has algae, moss, or staining, Thompson Roofing may recommend cleaning before treatment.
Will Roof Maxx void my shingle warranty?
Roof Maxx has been applied to millions of square feet of roofing without evidence of voiding manufacturer warranties, but homeowners should always review their individual warranty terms.
Does Roof Maxx come with a warranty?
Yes. Roof Maxx treatments include a limited transferable warranty that covers shingle flexibility for the treatment period. Warranty details vary based on eligibility and installation requirements.
Is Roof Maxx worth it?
For homeowners whose roofs are aging but still in good condition, Roof Maxx can provide a cost effective way to postpone a full roof replacement while maintaining protection for several more years.
How much does Roof Maxx cost compared to roof replacement?
While pricing varies by roof size and condition, Roof Maxx generally costs significantly less than replacing an asphalt roof, making it an attractive option for qualifying roofs.
How do I know if I need Roof Maxx or a new roof?
The best way is through a professional inspection. Thompson Roofing will evaluate your shingles, flashing, ventilation, and overall roof condition before recommending the most appropriate solution.
When is the best time to apply Roof Maxx?
Roof Maxx can be applied throughout much of the year when weather conditions are appropriate. Dry conditions and temperatures above the manufacturer’s minimum recommendations provide the best results.
