Roof Maxx Treatment on the North Shore

Why Roof Maxx for Your North Shore Home?

Extends Roof Life

Roof Maxx is designed to extend the life of aging asphalt shingles by replenishing the natural oils that help keep them flexible and better able to resist moisture. Applied every five years, you can extend the life of your current roof by up to 15 years total before a replacement becomes necessary.

North Shore Climate Fit

Chicago-area freeze-thaw cycles strip the oils from asphalt shingles faster than climates with milder winters. The Roof Maxx bio-oil formula targets exactly that problem by restoring the flexibility that cold-weather cycling removes. North Shore homes face a demanding mix of weather, from lake-effect moisture and freezing winters to strong summer sun, making this product a practical choice for long-term performance.

No Disruption to Your Home

There is no tear-off, no dumpster in the driveway, no crew on the roof for two days. A Roof Maxx treatment is sprayed on in a few hours with minimal impact on your household. Landscaping, gutters, and the interior of your home are unaffected by the application.

Fraction of Replacement Cost

A full asphalt roof replacement on a North Shore home typically runs into five figures, depending on size and complexity. Roof Maxx costs a fraction of that while providing meaningful additional years of protection. For homeowners who aren’t ready to budget for a full replacement, it’s a financially sound alternative to buying time.

Transferable Five-Year Warranty

Each Roof Maxx application comes with a five-year transferable warranty. If you sell your home during the coverage period, the remaining warranty can transfer to the new owner, providing an added benefit when buyers evaluate the condition and value of the roof.

Eco-Friendly Formula

Roof Maxx is made from plant-based soybean bio-oil and is safe for people, pets, and landscaping. Extending your roof instead of replacing it also keeps tons of shingle material out of landfills. That matters to many North Shore homeowners who are weighing the full picture, not only the immediate cost.

How Roof Maxx Works

Roof Maxx is not a coating or sealant. It is a rejuvenation treatment developed from research into how asphalt shingles age and fail. We’ve outlined the basic mechanism because understanding what the treatment does is what lets you decide if it’s right for your roof.

The Problem: Dried-Out Asphalt

Asphalt shingles lose the oils that give them flexibility over time. Without those oils, shingles become brittle, crack at the edges, and lose the granule adhesion that protects them from UV and moisture. This is normal aging and typically starts showing up in shingles that are 10 to 15 years old, especially in freeze-thaw climates like the North Shore.

The Treatment: Bio-Oil Restoration

Roof Maxx is formulated from soybean bio-oil and is sprayed evenly across the shingle surface. The microbeads penetrate the asphalt and restore the oils that have dried out, returning pliability and extending the shingles' ability to shed water. The application is completed in hours, not days, with no structural work required.

Who It Works For

Roof Maxx works on asphalt shingles only. The best candidates are roofs that are aging but structurally sound: the decking and framing are intact, there are no active leaks, and the shingles still have meaningful granule coverage. If your roof has significant structural damage or multiple failing shingles, a full replacement is likely the better option.

Roof Maxx Treatment Cost on the North Shore

Roof Maxx costs a fraction of what a full replacement runs. The exact price for your home depends on several factors, and we give you a firm written number after a free on-site visit. There is no obligation and no estimate fee.

What Affects Your Price

Roof size is the primary variable: a larger roof takes more product and more application time. Pitch matters, as steeper roofs require additional safety setup before the crew starts. Accessibility on densely landscaped North Shore properties can also affect setup time. If you are considering multiple treatments over 15 years, ask whether a bundled service plan is available and appropriate for your specific situation.

For context on what a full replacement would cost if you need to compare options, see our roof replacement cost guide. Financing is available for qualified homeowners who want to spread the cost of a treatment or a full replacement.

Roof Maxx vs. Full Roof Replacement

For a roof with sound structure and aging shingles, Roof Maxx is the faster, less expensive path that buys real time. A full replacement makes sense when the structure or shingle condition is beyond the point of treatment. Here’s how the two options compare on the factors North Shore homeowners ask about most.

If a full replacement is the right call, see our asphalt roofing page for shingle options and North Shore pricing context.

Our Roof Maxx Process

Here’s a closer look at the Roof Maxx treatment process.

Step 1: Free On-Site Assessment

We inspect your roof to confirm it’s a good Roof Maxx candidate. That means checking the decking, granule coverage, shingle condition, and whether there are any active leak points that need attention before treatment. You get a written estimate with no pressure or obligation.

Step 2: Prep and Protection

We protect your landscaping, siding, windows, and gutters before the application begins. There’s no heavy equipment on the lawn, no dumpster in the driveway, and no crew working inside your home. Setup takes a fraction of the time a replacement project requires.

Step 3: Roof Maxx Application

The Roof Maxx bio-oil formula is sprayed evenly across the shingle surface. The product absorbs into the asphalt and begins restoring flexibility immediately after contact. We complete most residential applications on the North Shore in two to four hours, depending on roof size and pitch.

Step 4: Final Walkthrough and Warranty

We will walk through the completed application with you before leaving. You receive your five-year transferable warranty documentation and a recommended timeline for your next treatment if you want to extend the roof a second or third time.

Step 5: Ongoing Support

We track treatment schedules and reach out as your next application window approaches. If you have questions about your roof between treatments, we are reachable. Storm damage is assessed at no charge for existing customers.
