Extend the life of your roof

In a business where trust is everything, Nathan Gray has built Roof Maxx of Wadsworth the old-fashioned way, one happy homeowner at a time. He credits the steady growth to something you can’t manufacture—word of mouth.

“It begins with the neighbors,” he says. “Once someone on the street has their roof treated and people see the results, my phone starts ringing.”

For instance, Paul H., who had his roof replaced in 2000, noticed it was showing its age. After seeing deteriorating shingles, like many homeowners he found himself at a crossroads: invest in a costly replacement or explore alternatives.

“We decided to have it inspected to see if it could be taken care of,” says Paul. “Then, after a thorough consultation, we chose Roof Maxx. I noticed right away how good the roof looked, and I could no longer see granules washing into the spouting.”

Even more telling, after severe weather rolled through his corner of Ohio, including damaging hail and tornadoes, Paul’s roof held strong.

“Meanwhile, many of our neighbors have had to replace their roofs due to hail,” he says. “I really believe we’ll get the full 25 years out of our shingles now. Without Roof Maxx, I doubt that would’ve happened.”

Backed by Scientific Data

The most compelling reason for Paul’s choice was an appreciation of the science and research behind the Roof Maxx process, which was discovered at The Ohio State University about 10 years ago.

Nathan explains the plant-based formula he applies to a roof is called Soy Methyl Ester Emulsion.

“The spray-on oil’s properties mimic the original petrochemical oils used in asphalt shingles when they were manufactured and restores the critical oils lost due to weathering and age,” he says.

“Micro-beads soak into the material to rehydrate and prevent future breaking and cracking.”

The bottom line? Fortified shingles look and act like new. And there’s no concern for damaging chemicals, since the product is natural, it’s good for the environment, and it’s safe for people and pets.

Is Your Roof a Candidate?

Nathan’s approach begins with a thorough inspection, ensuring the roof is a good candidate for rejuvenation.

“Not every roof qualifies,” he adds. “If it’s too new or too far gone, I tell the homeowner.”

If the roof is suitable, he makes minor repairs, followed by a gentle cleaning using a bleach-free solution. The treatment itself is usually completed in a few hours, without the noise, debris or disruption of a full replacement. It’s a one-person job and that person is Nathan. Customers say they enjoy working with the same person throughout the process, from the first phone call to the final walk-through.

“I’ve found communication and accountability are things people value,” he says.

Price is another factor driving his growth. A Roof Maxx treatment costs a fraction–often 80% less–of a full roof replacement. It’s long-lasting, too, adding up to 10-15 years of life to existing shingles.

As summer winds down, Nathan emphasizes timing is key.

“Waiting too long can turn a maintenance situation into replacement,” he says. “You wouldn’t skip oil changes on your car and expect it to last. Your roof is no different.”

September is one of his busiest months, with people acting on home improvement plans they’ve been pondering all summer.

Application conditions generally extend into late fall, as long as temperatures cooperate.

“If there’s a way to preserve what you have and avoid a major expense, it makes sense to explore it,” he says.
