We Were Featured on KATC ABC News: Louisiana's $80M FORTIFIED Roof Grant Lottery is Open!

There's a moment every Acadiana homeowner eventually faces: the roofer gets off the ladder and tells you your shingles are done. Not today, but soon. You've got maybe 3 years. Maybe 5. And then you're looking at a significant replacement job.

Most homeowners don't know there's another option. Roof Maxx, developed by Battelle, the same research organization behind the Pentium processor and the black box flight recorder, restores dry, aging shingles from the inside out. One treatment adds up to 5 years of useful roof life. Applied on schedule, it can delay your replacement by a decade or more.

And here's why this matters right now: the closer you get to that replacement window, the more you've lost. Shingles that crack allow moisture intrusion. Moisture intrusion leads to deck damage. Deck damage turns your replacement into a bigger job, and that's before storm season. Roof Maxx works best when applied early. The longer you wait, the less life you can recover.

How Roof Maxx Works

Asphalt shingles are made with petrochemical oils that allow them to expand and contract with the weather. Over time, Louisiana's intense heat and UV rays cause these oils to evaporate. The shingles dry out, become brittle, and start losing their protective top granules.

Roof Maxx is a 100% plant-based, bio-oil formula developed by Battelle. When applied to your roof, the formula penetrates the asphalt core, replacing the lost petrochemical oils with natural bio-oils. This process restores the shingles' original flexibility and waterproofing capabilities, stopping the aging process in its tracks.

How Long Does Roof Maxx Last?

A single Roof Maxx treatment is guaranteed to extend your roof's life by 5 years. Because the treatment can be reapplied every 5 years (up to 3 treatments total), you can potentially add up to 15 years of life to your existing roof. Every treatment comes with a 5-year transferable warranty, meaning if you sell your home, the warranty transfers to the new buyer.

Does My Roof Qualify?

Roof Maxx works incredibly well, but it isn't magic. It cannot fix structural damage or replace missing shingles. Your roof is likely a good candidate if:

• Your asphalt shingles are between 6 and 15+ years old.
• You are noticing granule loss (sand-like particles in your gutters).
• Your shingles are starting to look dry or slightly curled, but are generally still intact.
• You don't have active leaks or rotting roof decking.

We provide a free, honest inspection to determine if your roof qualifies. If it doesn't, we'll tell you why.

How Much Does Roof Maxx Cost?

A Roof Maxx treatment costs approximately 20–25% of what a full roof replacement would cost, including all prep work and minor tune-ups before application. For a fraction of the cost of a new roof, you get 5 more years of guaranteed protection. It is the smartest financial decision you can make for an aging roof that still has structural integrity.

Roof Maxx vs. Replacement: Which Is Right for You?

If your roof is actively leaking, has widespread missing shingles, or the decking underneath is compromised, it's time for a replacement. In those cases, we highly recommend upgrading to an IBHS FORTIFIED roof to protect your home and earn Louisiana Act 533 insurance discounts.

However, if your roof is structurally sound but simply drying out and aging due to the Louisiana sun, Roof Maxx is the clear winner. It saves you thousands of dollars, keeps asphalt out of landfills, and buys you years of time before a replacement is necessary.
