Fluctuations in weather and temperature cause asphalt shingles to expand and contract significantly, even within a given hour. It's the natural oils in the asphalt that allow these expansions and contractions to happen while your roof protects your home as it should. As the shingles age, though, this oil evaporates, causing them to dry out and lose their flexibility, as well as their top protective layer of granules.

All of the above leads to shingles cracking, breaking, molding, staining and/or curling, making your home more vulnerable to damage. And since shingles made in recent decades include less asphalt than they once did, they're drying out and failing faster than ever before.

THAT'S WHERE ROOF MAXX COMES IN
Roof Maxx's 100% natural, plant-based oil soaks into the asphalt layer of your shingles, replenishing petrochemical oils that have evaporated over time. This restores shingles' flexibility, extends their life and enhances their ability to withstand the elements like a new roof would. And it saves you the headache and expense of replacing your roof.

Asphalt shingles contain small, sand-like pebbles that stick together when their natural oils are intact. Once those oils start to dry out with age, you may see the granules flaking off in your gutters or downspouts. You might also notice black stains and streaks or shingles cracking, breaking and curling.

Roof Maxx can turn things around for roofs as young as 6-8 years old, depending on the weather conditions in a given area. But Roof Maxx extends the lives of roofs 15-20+ years old all the time, though some require repairs first. Each roof is different, and your local Roof Maxx dealer can tell you whether Roof Maxx can help yours.
