Roof Maxx vs. DIY Shingle Care: What’s the Difference?

DIY Shingle Sprays & Coatings: Quick Fix or False Promise?

Homeowners looking to extend the life of their roof may be tempted by DIY sprays, roof “sealants,” or over-the-counter solutions that claim to revive shingles. But while these products may temporarily change how your roof looks, they don’t solve the real problem.

What your roof actually needs is a restoration of the oils that keep asphalt shingles flexible and weather-resistant. And that’s exactly what the Roof Maxx® treatment is scientifically designed to do.

Roof Maxx®: A Tested and Proven Roof Rejuvenation Treatment

Roof Maxx® is the only USDA-certified, plant-based roof rejuvenation formula that penetrates deep into your shingles to restore the natural oils lost through aging and weather exposure.

Here’s how it compares to common DIY solutions:

Feature	DIY Sprays/Sealants	Roof Maxx® Treatment
Designed for Shingles	❌ Often generic coatings	✅ Specifically formulated for asphalt shingles
Restores Flexibility	❌ No true oil restoration	✅ Replenishes essential shingle oils
Penetration Depth	❌ Surface-level	✅ Deep absorption into shingle layers
Longevity	❌ Wears off quickly	✅ Lasts 5 years per treatment (up to 15 years total)
Warranty	❌ None	✅ 5-year transferable warranty
Eco-Friendly	❌ Varies; often chemical-based	✅ 100% soy-based and safe for people, pets & plants

Why Professional Application Matters

Even if you had access to the right formula, applying it correctly is another challenge. Roof Maxx of Folsom is a certified applicator with the tools and training needed to:

• Safely inspect your roof

• Identify aging vs. damaged shingles

• Apply the correct amount based on slope, layout, and condition

• Ensure uniform, effective coverage without mess or waste

DIY roof treatments often miss key areas or overapply in others—leading to uneven protection, product buildup, and potential damage to your roof system.

Think of It Like a Professional Oil Change for Your Roof

You wouldn’t pour olive oil into your car engine and expect it to run better. In the same way, treating your roof with the wrong product—or the wrong technique—can do more harm than good.

With Roof Maxx®, your shingles are restored with a certified formula applied by trained professionals—backed by science, testing, and years of proven performance.
