Roof Maxx Restoration
Roof restoration is newer to many homeowners—these are the questions we hear most.
What is Roof Maxx Restoration?
Roof Maxx is a plant-based saturant designed for qualifying asphalt shingle roofs to help restore flexibility, reduce granule loss, and extend roof life. It’s a performance-focused restoration—not a cosmetic coating or sealant.
How does Roof Maxx work?
The treatment is applied to the roof surface and is designed to absorb into the shingles to help rejuvenate the asphalt core by replacing its depleted petrochemical oils. Roof Maxx delivers proven results, backed by third party testing and over 21,000 5-star Google reviews across the nation.
Does insurance accept Roof Maxx?
How insurance carriers treat roof restoration is still evolving and there is no industry recognized standard at this time. However, for qualifying roofs, Roof Maxx restoration can help bring shingles back into condition necessary for independent third-party roof certification under Florida insurance guidelines, helping homeowners maintain insurance eligibility without premature replacement.
Will Roof Maxx stop a leak?
Roof Maxx is not a leak “sealant.” If you have a leak, we first identify the cause and recommend repairs/tune-ups as needed—then we’ll confirm whether restoration is still a good option.
How much life can Roof Maxx add to a roof?
Qualifying roofs may gain up to 5 years of additional years of service life per treatment. Results depend on roof age, condition, ventilation, sun exposure, and existing wear—so we set expectations during the assessment.
Do I need to clean my roof before Roof Maxx?
While cleaning is rarely required before treatment – when algae/organic staining is visible, cleaning is often recommended first for best results and appearance. We’ll advise the right order during your inspection.
Will Roof Maxx remove black streaks or algae stains?
No—Roof Maxx does not remove existing staining. That’s handled with roof cleaning/soft washing and (if desired) an algae inhibitor plan to help stop regrowth.
Is Roof Maxx safe for my landscaping, pets, and property?
It’s a plant-based product, and we still take standard precautions to protect landscaping and surrounding areas during service.
How long does a Roof Maxx application take?
Time varies by roof size, pitch, and complexity – as well as the exact services being provided. Most jobs are completed in just a few hours. We’ll provide a realistic time window when we schedule your service.
Does weather matter for a Roof Maxx treatment?
Yes—rain, wind, and surface conditions can affect scheduling. We plan around Florida weather to perform the application under appropriate conditions.
What’s the difference between Restore and Restore Maxx?
Both aim to extend the life of a qualifying roof. Restore Maxx includes additional premium components and is positioned as the higher-value option. We’ll recommend the best fit after your assessment.
What if my roof doesn’t qualify for restoration?
If restoration isn’t the right fit, we’ll recommend the next best option—maintenance/tune-up, repair, or replacement—based on what we find.
Roof Cleaning
Do you use high pressure on roofs?
No—our Soft-Clean roof cleaning is performed using roof-safe methods (soft wash/low pressure). High pressure can damage shingles and granules. Even on metal and tile roofs, soft washing is our preferred cleaning method with some limited exceptions.
What is soft wash roof cleaning?
Soft washing uses low pressure with appropriate cleaning solutions and rinsing to remove organic buildup and grime. We choose the method based on roof condition and materials.
Will roof cleaning damage my shingles or granules?
Our process is designed to avoid high-pressure washing and protect the roof surface. Every roof is different, so we confirm the safest approach during the inspection.
How long do results last?
It depends on shade, tree coverage, humidity, and roof conditions. Some roofs can begin to see light algae in less than 1 year after cleaning. while others may go 3-4 years or more before algae starts to become visible again. We can recommend maintenance or inhibitor options to help results last longer.
Can roof cleaning be combined with Roof Maxx Restoration?
Yes—many homeowners clean first (if needed) and then restore if the roof qualifies. We’ll recommend the best solution for your roof.
Maintenance & Protection
Does a roof really need maintenance?
Yes—most roof problems start small. Routine checkups help catch issues early, before water causes bigger damage.
What’s included in a maintenance visit?
Typically: inspection, minor corrections/tune-ups, debris removal, gutter flow checks, and runoff/drainage checks. Plan details vary—your assessment confirms the best fit.
How often should my roof be inspected?
A good rule of thumb is at least annually and after major storms. We’ll recommend a schedule based on your roof’s condition and exposure.
What happens if you find an issue?
We correct most minor and common issues as part of your maintenance plan. For some issues, such as leaks, storm damage, or defective roofing materials – we document what we see and recommend the best next step. That may include filing an insurance claim, warranty claim, repair, or replacment.
Replacement & Repairs
How do I know if I need repair, restoration, or replacement?
That’s exactly what your free assessment is for. We evaluate condition, damage, wear, and eligibility for restoration before recommending the smartest option.
What are common signs my roof needs attention?
Leaks & water stains, missing or damaged shingles, tiles, or panels. Soft spots, sagging areas or humps, severe granule loss, and/or rust spots.
How long does a typical roof replacement take?
Most residential replacements are completed in a short timeframe, but size, complexity, timing of inspections and weather can change the schedule. We’ll give a realistic timeline before work begins.
Do you offer roof tune-ups or minor repairs?
Yes—many issues can be addressed early with minor repairs to prevent bigger problems.
Can you help if I suspect storm damage?
Yes—we can document what we find and explain your options. We can assist in filing claims and working with your insurance provider.
Gutters & Water Runoff
Do gutter guards eliminate gutter cleaning completely?
They can dramatically reduce clogs and cleanings, but exact performance depends on debris type, roofline, and surrounding trees. We ensure you have the best guards for your conditions.
How do I know if I have a runoff/drainage problem?
Common signs include pooling near the home, erosion channels, washouts at downspouts, and staining on walls or foundation areas.
What drainage solutions do you offer? do I know if I have a runoff/drainage problem?
Options can include downspout extensions, splash guards/diverters, underground drainage, and rain barrel installs—based on your property’s needs
Exterior Cleaning & Sealing
What’s the difference between soft washing and power washing?
Soft washing is typically used for more delicate exterior surfaces; power washing is used for hard surfaces when appropriate. We choose the method based on the surface and condition.
Do you clean pavers and apply sealers?
Yes—paver cleaning and sealing is one of our featured services. We’ll recommend the best protection option based on your goals.
How long do sealers last?
Longevity varies based on surface type, traffic, sun exposure, and drainage. We’ll set expectations during your assessment.
Do sealers change the look of the surface?
Some sealers are clear and maintain a natural look; others offer satin/gloss options and may enhance appearance. We’ll recommend the right finish for your surface.
Do you offer window cleaning?
Yes—premium exterior window and screen cleaning is available, with methods designed to improve clarity and reduce residue/spotting. We also offer interior window washing.
Scheduling & Service Area
What areas do you serve?
Brevard and Indian River, plus parts of Osceola and Orange (as applicable). If you’re unsure, call and we’ll confirm.
Do you provide warranties/guarantees?
Yes—warranty details vary by service and product. We’ll explain what applies during your estimate/assessment

Cost & Financing Options
How much does Roof Maxx cost?

How much is it to replace my roof?
Cost will vary depending on your roof size and design, the materials being used, and exact services needed. Roof Replacement can start as low as $480 a square (per 100 sq ft).

What is the cost of your other services?
Again, an in person assessment is always the best way to provide our best & accurate pricing and to ensure we are pricing the right solution for your home. We are always clear with our pricing and typically try to present you with more than one solution allowing you to choose what fits your budget.
