Is your roof starting to show signs of aging or deterioration? If the answer is yes, you are likely cringing at the thought of getting a roof replacement. Luckily, there is another option! With the Roof Maxx treatment, you can add years of life to your roof and improve its performance at a fraction of the cost. Let us share the details and benefits of preventive roof treatment and how we at Roof Maxx of the Tri-Cities can help you achieve these cost savings!
How You Benefit from Preventive Roof Treatment
As a homeowner, one of your most significant home expenses is your roof – and if it fails, the damage sustained can cost tens of thousands of dollars. Unfortunately, modern asphalt roofing materials typically only last 12-20 years, with the price for replacement averaging between $8,000 and $17,000 for a 2,000-square-foot home. Fortunately, with the Roof Maxx preventive roof treatment, you can achieve the following benefits:
#1: Extended Lifespan of Your Roof
A roof lifespan of only 15ish years is not long in the world of homeownership. Having to replace your roof is an expensive, time-consuming, and aggravating process that makes everyone cringe.
Fortunately, the Roof Maxx preventive roof treatment restores the durability of the shingles, adding another five years of life per treatment. With the opportunity to repeat the process up to three times, meaning 15 more years of life, you are doubling your roof’s lifespan!
#2: Cost Savings Over Full Replacement
Say your roof manages to last 15 years and costs $15,000 to replace, both of which fit within the averages; that means you need to set aside $1000 or more a year to save up for a new roof. With all the other costs of maintaining a household, that can greatly strain the pocketbook.
By utilizing the Roof Maxx preventive roof treatment, you can delay your roof replacement for up to 15 years at a fraction of the cost. This allows homeowners more time to save for roof replacement while getting the added benefit of improved roof performance.
#3: Improved Roof Performance
As your roof ages, the shingles become dried out. This forces them to lose their flexibility and decreases the protection of your home. The Roof Maxx treatment seeps into dried-out shingles and rehydrates the asphalt with essential oil beads.
Similar to the soy technology used in Good Year tires, the Roof Maxx® product is a bio-solution product that restores flexibility so the shingle can contract and expand without breaking while at the same time reactivating the seal tabs on the shingles to extend the waterproofing protection. It has been found that Roof Maxx-treated shingles restore flexibility, durability, and permeability to a value close to that of a brand-new shingle!
#4: Environmentally Friendly Option
According to 2011 research, over 11 million tons of asphalt shingle waste are generated annually. Now that we are almost halfway through the 2020s and the number of houses is growing in the USA, that number has risen.
By choosing the Roof Maxx treatment, you are making an eco-conscious choice. Not only does it prevent your roofing materials from making an early grave in some landfill, but it also decreases the amount of pollution required to create, ship, and install new shingles.
3 Step Roof Maxx Treatment Process
At Roof Maxx of the Tri-Cities, we believe in creating a streamlined, easy system for homeowners to get their roofs treated. To do this, we follow a simple three-step system:
Step 1: Free Detailed Inspection
During your in-person roof inspection, our experts will take to your roof to see if the Roof Maxx treatment is right for you. To do this, we will inspect your roof, take pictures of any concerns, and share the details with you.
Step 2: Roof Maintenance
If your roof is eligible for the Roof Maxx treatment, we will first perform a tune-up of your entire roofing system. During this tune-up, we will seal any exposed nails, replace cracked or torn shingles, seal any storm or HVAC collars, install new boot gaskets, and reseal flashings. This ensures that your treatment goes smoothly and provides the most excellent durability.
Step 3: Roof Maxx Treatment Application
Finally, we will apply the Roof Maxx treatment. The average roof typically takes less than two hours to apply, and your roof’s flexibility and waterproofing will return within 72 hours.
How to Know if You Need a Preventive Roof Treatment
As a homeowner, we hope that performing a roof maintenance checklist bi-annually is a part of your home task list. If it isn’t, now is the time to start. When inspecting your roof, here are common signs that your roof is ready for a preventive roof treatment.
- Bald Spots: A bald shingle is missing its granules. When the granules are lost, the shingle has lost efficiency.
- Loose Granules: Loose granules, commonly found in gutter and drainage systems, indicate that your shingles are starting to go bald.
- Curling/Cracked Shingles: When your shingle loses its flexibility, it will curl. With too much external pressure, it can crack entirely. Curled and cracked shingles are no longer providing adequate roof protection.
- Misplaces Nails: When shingles lose flexibility, they also lose their grips on the nails holding them. Nails sticking out or falling out entirely are a sign of shingle deterioration. Plus, they can become a hazard as they could go through your gutter system or fly off the roof in the wind.
- Internal Damage: When shingles fail, water can get under them and into your internal roofing structure. You can see this as damage in your attic or ceiling.
- Rising Energy Bills: Shingles protect your home from the elements like a shield. When they become weak, they let heating or cooling seep out of the house faster, which will be showcased in your energy bills.
- Old Age: An easy sign of roof deterioration is age. As your roof ages, it loses its efficiency and can start having any of the above six problems.
