Did You Know You Have Options to Maintain Your Asphalt Shingle???

Delaying a necessary roof replacement or roof maintenance can lead to costly damage, leaks, and structural issues for your home.

If your roof is showing signs of aging, now is the time to take action. At Save My Roof, we offer both full roof replacements and cost-effective alternatives like Roof Maxx to extend the life of your existing roof.

Every asphalt shingle is going to have the natural petro oils in the asphalt layer of the shingle evaporate by the time they're seven years old.

When that happens your shingles aren't as flexible, are under stress as the expand & contract, and will absorb more water before shedding it.

Once this happens you're shingles will start deteriorating by loses the granules in the granule layer which is the protective layer of the shingles. The more granules you lose the faster you lose more of them until it gets to a point of failure.

Today's shingles have much less asphalt than shingles manufactured prior to 2002.

Due to improvements in the oil refining process there is less asphalt in the world today than back then; so shingles today are much lighter, have less asphalt, and don't last as long.

You can expect today's shingles to last 15-18 years if you don't do anything to restore and protect them. Roof Maxx is a proven maintenance product for asphalt shingles; it is an all natural bio-based penetrating oil.

Roof Maxx is sprayed onto the shingles, then it penetrates into and bonds with the asphalt layer of the shingle making it soft and flexible again. A soft, flexible asphalt layer dramatically slows the granule loss and increase their water shedding capability to that of a new shingle.

Long story short, the longer you can keep your shingles flexible, the longer you'll keep your protective granule layer intact, and that will in turn ensure you get the most out of your asphalt shingle roofing system.
