Roof Maxx is a revolutionary product designed to restore the flexibility and water-shedding capabilities of asphalt roofs by replenishing their lost oils. Instead of a full roof replacement, which can be a significant expense, Roof Maxx offers a more sustainable and cost-effective solution for extending the life of your existing roof.
The cost of a Roof Maxx treatment is not a one-size-fits-all figure. Several factors influence the final price, ensuring that you pay a fair amount based on your specific needs. Our calculator provides an estimate, but it's always best to get a personalized quote from an authorized Roof Maxx dealer.
Key Factors Influencing Roof Maxx Cost:
Roof Size (Square Footage): This is the most direct factor. Larger roofs naturally require more product and labor, leading to a higher overall cost.
Roof Complexity: A simple, single-pitch roof is quicker and easier to treat than a multi-faceted roof with numerous valleys, dormers, or steep slopes. The complexity affects the time and effort required for application.
Roof Material: While Roof Maxx is primarily designed for asphalt shingles, the specific type and condition of shingle can influence application time and the amount of product needed. Older or more porous materials might require slightly different treatment considerations.
Roof Age: While not a direct multiplier, the age of the roof often correlates with its condition and the degree of oil depletion. Very old roofs might have different treatment needs or might be nearing the end of their viable lifespan, which could be a consideration even with treatment. However, for cost calculation purposes, we use it as a general indicator of potential treatment needs.
Geographic Location: Labor costs and local market conditions can vary, impacting the final price.
How the Calculator Works:
This calculator uses a simplified model to provide an estimated cost. It takes into account the primary drivers of expense:
Base Rate per Square Foot: A baseline cost per square foot is established (e.g., $1.50 – $4.00) which is then adjusted by other factors. Our internal algorithm uses a base rate that is further modified.
Complexity Multiplier: Based on the selected complexity, a factor (1.0 to 1.4) is applied to account for increased labor and time.
Material Multiplier: The type of roof material incurs a multiplier (e.g., 2.5 to 4.5) reflecting potential variations in application or product absorption.
Age Adjustment: While not a direct linear factor, the age can slightly influence perceived treatment needs. For this calculator, a minor adjustment factor is considered, though the primary costs are size and complexity.
The formula used is a proprietary estimation:
Estimated Cost = (Roof Square Footage * Base Material Cost per SqFt) * Complexity Multiplier * Material Factor
(Note: The 'Roof Age' is primarily for context in the estimation and doesn't form a direct multiplier in this simplified model but informs the base rate considerations.)
