When it pays off
Is Roof Maxx Worth It?
It is worth it when your asphalt shingle roof still has life left, and it is worth nothing when the roof is already past saving.

When Is Roof Rejuvenation Worth It?
Roof rejuvenation is worth it when the asphalt roof is sound, the shingles are drying out but intact, and restoring flexibility can keep the roof working for more years.
At that stage, a short visit can postpone a replacement that would otherwise be coming.
That is the sweet spot for any rejuvenation treatment.

When Is Roof Rejuvenation Not Worth It?
Roof rejuvenation is not worth it when the roof has soft decking, widespread curling, bare patches or active leaks, because there is nothing left to restore.
On that roof, the money belongs in a replacement. An honest contractor will tell you so.
How Can You Tell if Rejuvenation Is Worth It for Your Roof?
You can tell if rejuvenation is worth it for your roof by checking shingle condition from the ground, looking for attic stains and getting a professional inspection.
- Shingles lying down, not curled
- Granules still covering the surface
- No water stains in the attic
- A firm deck with no sagging
- Flashings and skylights intact or repairable
Why Do Repairs Decide Whether Roof Rejuvenation Is Worth It?
Repairs decide whether roof rejuvenation is worth it because a treated roof with an open flashing or cracked shingle can still leak.
Most leaks start at transitions, not in the middle of a field of shingles. Fixing those first is what protects the value of any coating.
How Does a Repair-First Tune-Up Make Rejuvenation Worth More?
A repair-first tune-up makes rejuvenation worth more because repairs, washing and coating happen in one visit, backed by a six-year warranty from Dura-Foam.
Our two-person crew completes most tune-ups in two to three hours.

Roof Rejuvenation Value FAQs
Is rejuvenation worth it on a newer roof?
Rejuvenation is usually not needed on a very new roof, and it becomes worth it as shingles start drying out.
Is it worth it on an old roof?
It is worth it on an older roof only if the shingles and deck are still sound.
Can it replace a new roof?
It cannot replace a new roof; it extends a roof that still has life.
Is it worth it if my roof leaks?
It is worth it on a leaking roof only after the leak points are repaired.
How do I know how much life my roof has?
You know how much life your roof has from an inspection of the shingles, deck and flashings.
Does worth depend on the applicator?
Worth does depend on the applicator, because inspection and repair quality vary.
What makes your tune-up different?
Our tune-up is different because we repair flashings, skylights and damaged shingles before coating.
