Roof Maxx provides revolutionary roof restoration through an innovative fluid spray treatment that penetrates and revitalizes aging asphalt shingles to extend roof life 5-15 years. But what exactly should homeowners expect to budget for Roof Maxx roof maintenance services?

This guide examines total service pricing, cost-saving benefits compared to roof replacement, factors that impact quotes, and tips from industry experts on maximizing ROI from Roof Maxx roof rejuvenation.

How Much Does Roof Maxx Cost?

Given the many cost factors involved, total project investments can range anywhere from $1,000 for smaller single story homes to $5,000+ for larger estate properties based on square footage, pitch, accessibility and other variables.

Roof size, pitch, accessibility and regional contractor rates significantly sway exact pricing.

According to Roof Maxx’s official site, the average cost for a Roof Maxx treatment typically ranges from $3,000 to $6,000 for an average-sized home with a roof of about 2,000 square feet. This treatment is significantly less than the cost of a full roof replacement, which can average between $20,000 and $30,000.

Directorii‘s detailed analysis reports that a typical Roof Maxx treatment can cost between $500 and $1,500. This treatment is designed to provide protection for 10 to 15 years, making it a cost-effective alternative to a full roof replacement, which can range from $5,000 to $10,000 or more.

MidPenn Roof Savers also emphasizes that the cost of Roof Maxx is generally about 15% to 30% of the cost of a complete roof replacement. They note that for an average-sized roof, the treatment could cost around $1,495, depending on the specific conditions and needs of the roof.

Additionally, Roofing Done Rite mentions that the average application cost for Roof Maxx is based on a 2,500 square foot roof and can vary depending on roof pitch and condition. They highlight that the treatment can extend the life of the roof by up to 15 years and often comes with a warranty.

Roof Maxx Asphalt Shingle Rejuvenation Treatments

Roof Maxx is a specialty roof restoration treatment consisting of an innovative thick fluid formula spray derived from bio-oils that is applied to aging asphalt shingle roofs. The proprietary renewing fluid penetrates and revitalizes the shingles at a cellular level to restore lost flexibility, adhesion, water repellency, and UV protection. Benefits provided by professional Roof Maxx spray treatments include:

• Restores faded and brittle asphalt shingles by replenishing weathered oils essential for suppleness and durability.
• Extends the functional roof lifespan by up to 15 years, delaying full roof replacement needs significantly.
• Seals minor cracks, holes, and openings to prevent leaks and water ingress.
• Provides lasting protection against moisture damage, mildew buildup, and debris accumulation on the roof’s surface.
• Comes backed by a 5-year workmanship warranty for peace of mind on labor.

Roof Maxx offers homeowners an affordable and effective means to improve, beautify, and prolong their home’s existing roofing investment rather than incurring the high costs and hassle of a full roof replacement prematurely.

Factors Influencing Roof Maxx Pricing

• Total Roof Square Footage – Larger roofs require greater amounts of spray coating product to fully treat, increasing materials expenses.
• Roof Pitch, Shape and Number of Stories/Levels – More complex roofs increase application time, labor rates, and equipment needs which add costs.
• Current Roof Condition and Age – Heavily worn, brittle shingles take more product to penetrate effectively and seal while newer roofs require less.
• Access Considerations – Difficult to reach areas because of height, pitch or obstructions drive up equipment costs and risk fees.
• Number of Projects in Contractor Area – Less local demand means less incentive for contractors to offer discounts.

Carefully measuring your roof’s total area and assessing aspects like shape, wear and age helps tailor the most accurate estimate.

Roof Condition and Layout Variables

• Larger total surface square footage requires greater amounts of spray coating product and longer labor hours to fully complete treatment.
• Heavily degraded, brittle shingles demand more intensive preparation and thicker fluid application to fully penetrate, seal, and restore each shingle’s protective properties.
• Steep slopes, multi-levels, and difficult access points reduce contractor application efficiency, increasing onsite service time requirements and equipment needs.
• Poor drainage conditions and excessive debris also necessitate additional time for proper preparatory power washing and roof cleaning beforehand for best treatment absorption.

Evaluating your roof’s specific size, condition, layout, and other aspects informs accurate pricing.

Warranties and Timing Between Treatments

• The standard 5-year workmanship warranty covers labor only, not materials. 10-year warranties are sometimes offered by contractors for extra cost.
• When applied to roofs in good intact condition, Roof Maxx coatings can last 10-15 years or longer before reapplication is recommended, extending the roof’s lifespan dramatically.
• On aging roofs, duration may be shorter. Check with your contractor based on your roof’s status. Proactive preservation keeps subsequent costs lower.

The long lasting effectiveness between Roof Maxx rejuvenation treatments offers substantial lifetime value for homeowners.

Additional Costs or Services

• Roof Inspection – $200 to $400 for contractors to assess condition, measure, and make repair recommendations beforehand.
• Shingle Repairs – $100 to $500 if replacement or reinforcement of degraded shingles is advised prior to treatment.
• Pressure Washing – $150 to $300 to remove dirt and debris that could inhibit proper treatment absorption.
• Gutter Cleaning – $100 to $250 ensures spray has unobstructed runoff paths.

Avoid surprise add-ons by inquiring ahead if certain prerequisites or additional services are required.
