What Roof Maxx treatment actually does to aging shingles
A plain explanation of what Roof Maxx does, what it does not do, who is a candidate and how the five-year warranty works, from an ECO Group dealer.

Roof Maxx is a plant-based treatment that soaks into aging asphalt shingles and restores their flexibility. It does not seal leaks and it does not work on every roof. Whether it makes sense for yours comes down to the shingles' condition, which is why the first step is an assessment, not a quote.
What the treatment actually does
Asphalt shingles age by losing the oils that keep them flexible. The first visible signs are usually curling edges, granules collecting in the gutters and shingles that crack when they should bend. Roof Maxx's treatment is plant-based and soaks into the shingle to replenish that flexibility. On a suitable roof, the manufacturer backs treated shingle flexibility with a five-year transferable warranty, with prorated retreatment if the shingles later fail the manufacturer's flexibility test.
What it does not do
Treatment is not repair. It will not seal an existing leak, fix faulty installation or protect against storm damage. The warranty excludes granule loss, leaks, wind, ice and snow damage. If a roof has active leaks or structural problems, repair or replacement is the honest answer, and a dealer should say so.
Who is a candidate
Eligibility depends on the roof, not the date on a receipt. In northern climates like Wisconsin, roofs younger than roughly seven to ten years often have not dried out enough to benefit. Good candidates are roofs showing signs of aging and granule loss, with no active leaks, where the shingles still have enough material left to accept treatment.
How the process works
An ECO Group assessment starts with a phone conversation about the roof, then a free on-site evaluation. The assessment looks at shingle condition, previous treatments and anything that would disqualify the roof. Pricing comes after the assessment, based on size and condition, because a number given without seeing the roof is a guess.
How often can a roof be treated
Roof Maxx describes repeat treatment at about five-year intervals for roofs that remain suitable. Each retreatment starts with a fresh assessment, because the roof that qualified five years ago may not qualify now.
Frequently asked questions
Does Roof Maxx stop leaks?
No. It is a flexibility treatment, not a waterproofing coating. Active leaks need repair first.
How long does the treatment last?
The manufacturer backs treated shingle flexibility with a five-year transferable warranty, with prorated retreatment if the shingles fail the flexibility test.
What does it cost?
ECO Group prices after the assessment, based on the roof's size and condition. Financing is available. Restoration typically costs a fraction of a full replacement.
If your shingles are curling or feeding your gutters, the place to start is a look at the roof itself. Request a free assessment or read more about how Roof Maxx works.
