Frequently Asked Questions

Roof rejuvenation uses a plant-based bio-oil to restore flexibility to aging asphalt shingles that have lost their natural oils and become brittle. The treatment penetrates the shingles to restore waterproofing and flexibility, instantly adding five years of life to the roof. At Roof Savers, we apply Roof Maxx after a thorough roof tune-up and inspection.

Roof rejuvenation typically costs 20-25% of a full roof replacement, saving homeowners up to 80% on average.

An asphalt roof can be rejuvenated up to three times, with treatments applied once every five years. This means a properly maintained roof can gain up to 15 years of added life through rejuvenation alone. Each application comes with a five-year warranty that's transferable if you move.

Roofs that are 10-20 years old with shingles that are drying out but still structurally intact are ideal candidates for rejuvenation. If your roof has severe damage, missing shingles, or structural issues, rejuvenation may not be suitable. At Roof Savers, we provide free assessments to determine eligibility and recommend the best solution.

The entire roof rejuvenation process typically takes a couple of hours maximum. This includes a roof tune-up, any minor repairs, and the application of the rejuvenating bio-oil treatment. The process is quick and non-invasive compared to the days or weeks required for a full replacement.

Today's asphalt shingles contain less asphalt than older versions, causing them to lose their natural oils and dry out faster than ever before. This makes them brittle and more prone to cracking and leaking. Roof rejuvenation restores the oils that keep shingles flexible and waterproof.

Roof rejuvenation restores shingle flexibility and waterproofing, which helps protect against moisture intrusion that can worsen ice dam damage. However, ice dams are primarily caused by poor attic ventilation and insulation. At Roof Savers, we inspect these systems and recommend improvements to prevent ice dam formation in Rockford winters.

Roof Maxx treatments include a five-year warranty that guarantees restored flexibility and waterproofing for the duration of the coverage period. The warranty is transferable if you sell your home within the five years. This protection ensures maximum property value and peace of mind for West Michigan homeowners.

Yes, roof rejuvenation is a sustainable alternative that keeps shingles out of landfills, where roofing materials create 13.5 million tons of waste annually.
