How It Works
How Roof Rejuvenation Works
Our treatment infuses shingles with a plant-based oil, rejuvenating the asphalt core by replacing its depleted petrochemical oils. This revives the shingle’s flexibility capabilities.
IT MAKES SHINGLES LAST
This adds up to 15 years to the lifespan of asphalt shingles that are unbroken and in good condition.
IT SAVES MONEY
It costs up to 80% less than the full cost of replacing a roof.
IT SAVES TIME
The treatment takes just a few hours, while roof replacement often takes a week or more.

Roof Rejuvenation: Explained
Safe, All Natural Oils
The treatment uses a plant-derived oil made from recently commercialized Soy Methyl Ester Emulsion (SMEE) technology. This spray-on formula mimics the original petrochemical oils used in asphalt shingles and restores the critical oils lost due to weathering and age.
- Sprayed directly onto aging shingles
- It penetrates through the granules into the asphalt layer
- Essential oil content is restored to improve shingle performance
Shingle Penetration
The micro-beads in the roof rejuvenation treatment gradually soak into each shingle, restoring flexibility and helping prevent cracking or breakage from extreme weather events.
This has several benefits:
- Rehydrates brittle shingles
- Improves flexibility and impact resistance
- Helps extend the roof’s useful life
Water Vapor Resistance
Treated 17-year-old three-tab shingles were tested for water vapor permeability.
The results showed a significant decrease in moisture penetration, improving the roof’s resistance to water damage.
Hail Resistance
Aging shingles lose their ability to absorb hail impact. Our treatment restores their resilience.
Lab tests showed a 24% smaller hail depression size in treated shingles compared to untreated ones.
Fire Resistance
During independent testing, shingles treated with Roof Maxx met ASTM E108 Class A fire resistance standards (the highest rating possible).
Untreated shingles failed the same test.
- Treated shingles saw no combustion and limited flame spread
- In untreated shingles: the underdeck caught fire and flames spread
Solar Panel Durability
Shingles were exposed to 400% of a standard Roof Maxx application, far beyond real-world use. The results confirmed that Roof Maxx is safe for use on roofs with solar panels.
- No significant swelling
- No mass change
- No structural damage
Environmental Impact
A study from The Ohio State University found that delaying roof replacement with roof rejuvenation significantly reduces several major environmental risks.
- Less roofing material waste
- Fewer CO₂-equivalent emissions
- Lower environmental impact of roofing over time
The Bottom Line...
Roof rejuvenation is a safe, effective, quick, and affordable alternative to traditional home roof replacement for asphalt shingle roofs that are aging but still structurally sound. It restores flexibility lost over time, helping prevent cracking and further damage.
The treatment is completed in just a few hours with no tear-off, mess, or disruption to your home. By restoring your existing roof instead of replacing it, Roof Maxx can extend roof life by up to 15 years at a fraction of the cost. For homeowners looking to save money while reducing waste, we offer a smart, proven way to restore rather than replace.
