Roof Rescue Package
Before you sign a roof replacement quote in Lafayette or anywhere in Acadiana, find out whether your roof actually needs replacing. Most do not. Acadiana Roof Restoration LLC is Louisiana's only 5-Star Roof Maxx dealer, an IBHS FORTIFIED certified contractor, and an NRCIA credentialed Forensic Roof Inspector. The Roof Rescue Package combines all three into one visit.
The real reason asphalt shingles fail in South Louisiana
Your shingles are not failing because they are old. They are failing because the oils that keep them flexible have evaporated. Heat and UV bake those oils out over 10 to 20 years, and when they are gone the shingles crack, curl and turn brittle.
That is not a replacement problem. It is a treatment problem. Dried out shingles are not dead shingles. The decking, underlayment and flashing underneath are often perfectly sound. The shingles just need back what they lost.
Most roofing contractors in Louisiana offer exactly one solution: tear the roof off and install a new one. They are not lying to you. It is simply the only tool they carry. Every year homeowners across Acadiana pay for replacements on roofs that had years of life left in them.
What Roof Maxx is
Roof Maxx is a plant based, food grade bio-oil treatment that restores the flexibility asphalt shingles lose with age. It is applied in about two hours with no tear off, no dumpster, no debris and no disruption to your home. It is safe for people, pets and landscaping. Applications every five years can extend a roof's service life by up to 15 years total.
Your shingles will look darker and more uniform afterward, close to their original color when new.
What is included in the Roof Rescue Package
- A full forensic roof inspection by an NRCIA credentialed inspector, included at no charge
- Complete Roof Maxx bio-oil treatment
- A five year registered warranty, transferable to the next homeowner
- Pre-storm documentation report for your insurance file
- Minor repair tune-up included
- Debris removal and gutter cleaning
Our guarantee: if Roof Maxx does not add measurable life to your shingles, as confirmed by a third party NRCIA inspection, you pay nothing. There is no fine print.
How restoration compares to replacement
A full replacement takes three to five days, brings a tear off crew, a dumpster in your driveway and roughly two tons of shingle waste to the landfill, and starts your roof's clock over from zero.
The Roof Rescue Package takes two to four hours, costs a fraction of a replacement, sends nothing to the landfill, and adds years to the roof you already have. Financing is available.
A forensic inspection is included free with the Roof Rescue assessment. Most replacement quotes are issued without one.
The Roof Rescue Package is not right for every roof
This is the part most contractors will not put in writing.
We will recommend the Roof Rescue Package when your roof has:
- Asphalt shingles that are dried out or brittle but structurally intact
- A solid roof deck with no soft spots, rot or sagging
- Minor granule loss without exposed fiberglass mat
- No active leaks, or leaks limited to repairable flashing issues
- A roof age in the 10 to 25 year range
- A homeowner who wants the truth before spending twenty thousand dollars
We will not recommend it when your roof has:
- Rotted, soft or structurally compromised decking
- Widespread cracking, exposed fiberglass or missing shingles across multiple areas
- Multiple active leaks caused by structural damage rather than flashing
- An age past 25 years with no previous maintenance
- A previous roof-over, meaning shingles installed on top of existing shingles
- Shingles that have already reached the end of their service life
In those cases we will say so during the free forensic inspection and point you to the right solution, even when that means a full replacement by a different contractor. We would rather lose the job than mislead you.
Optional upgrade, solar attic ventilation
Roof Maxx restores the flexibility your shingles lost. Solar attic ventilation reduces the heat that took it.
Attic temperatures in South Louisiana pass 140 degrees on a summer afternoon while it is 95 outside, and that trapped heat bakes the asphalt binder out of your shingles from underneath every hot day. Acadiana Roof Restoration is an authorized Attic Depot dealer and installs 30-watt solar attic fans that run entirely on their own solar panel, with no electrician, no wiring and no operating cost. The fan switches on at 85 degrees and off at 70, and a humidity sensor runs it at 75 percent humidity to keep the attic dry through winter.
Because we are already on the roof for the treatment, there is no second trip and no second trade. We flash and seal the penetration as a licensed roofing contractor should, and we check your soffit intake before quoting exhaust, because exhaust without intake pulls conditioned air out of your house and raises your bill instead of lowering it.
