Roof Maxx in Fargo, ND — Extend Your Roof's Life Without Replacing It
Most roofing contractors will tell you your aging roof needs to be replaced. We will tell you the truth. If your shingles still have structural integrity but have lost their flexibility, are starting to dry out, crack, and shed granules, you may not need a full replacement yet. Roof Maxx is a plant-based rejuvenation treatment that restores the natural oils in your asphalt shingles and extends your roof’s life by up to five years per treatment, with up to three treatments possible over 15 years. Roof Keepers is the only certified Roof Maxx dealer in the Fargo area, and we will give you an honest assessment of whether your roof qualifies before we recommend anything.
What Is Roof Maxx and How Does It Work?
Asphalt shingles are not what they used to be. Modern shingles contain less asphalt than shingles manufactured 20 or 30 years ago, which means they dry out faster, lose flexibility sooner, and reach the end of their useful life earlier than older roofs did. As shingles age they lose the natural oils that keep them pliable, water resistant, and able to shed moisture the way they were designed to.
Roof Maxx uses a plant-based Soy Methyl Ester Emulsion, a safe all natural bio-oil, that penetrates directly into aging asphalt shingles and restores the critical oils lost to weathering and age. It is sprayed directly onto your shingles, penetrates through the granule layer into the asphalt itself, and restores flexibility and water shedding ability from the inside out. The treatment takes about two hours for most Fargo homes and there is no disruption to your property during or after application.
Why Roof Maxx Is Changing the Roofing Industry
Roof Maxx was featured on Shark Tank and backed by some of the most recognized names in business for good reason. Modern asphalt shingles are not what they used to be. Over the past several decades shingles have been manufactured with less and less asphalt content, which means they dry out faster, lose flexibility sooner, and fail earlier than roofs did a generation ago. For Fargo homeowners that means roofs that were built to last 25 years are showing significant wear at 12 to 15. Roof Maxx was developed specifically to address this problem.
As Fargo’s only certified Roof Maxx dealer, Roof Keepers brings this technology directly to FM area homeowners who are being told they need a full replacement when they may not. A Roof Maxx rejuvenation treatment restores the natural oils in your aging asphalt shingles, extends your roof’s life by up to five years per treatment, and costs a fraction of what a full replacement runs. For homeowners in Fargo, Moorhead, West Fargo, and surrounding communities it is one of the smartest investments you can make in your home before committing to a full tear off and replacement.
What the Science Says About Roof Maxx
Roof Maxx is not a marketing claim. It is backed by independent laboratory research and peer reviewed studies. Here is what the science shows:
Shingle penetration and rehydration. The micro-beads in Roof Maxx gradually soak into each shingle, restoring flexibility and helping prevent cracking and breakage from extreme weather events including Fargo’s freeze-thaw cycles.
Water vapor resistance. Independent testing on 17-year-old three-tab shingles showed a significant decrease in moisture penetration after Roof Maxx treatment, improving resistance to water damage.
Hail resistance. Aging shingles lose their ability to absorb hail impact. Roof Maxx restores that resilience. Lab tests showed a 24% smaller hail depression size in treated shingles compared to untreated ones, a meaningful advantage in a market like Fargo where hail events are common.
Fire resistance. During independent testing, shingles treated with Roof Maxx met ASTM E108 Class A fire resistance standards, the highest rating possible. Untreated shingles of the same age failed the same test.
Environmental impact. A study from Ohio State University found that delaying roof replacement with Roof Maxx significantly reduces roofing material waste, CO2 equivalent emissions, and the overall environmental impact of roofing over time. Every Roof Maxx treatment keeps thousands of pounds of shingle material out of landfills.
Is Roof Maxx Right for Your Roof?
Roof Maxx is not the right solution for every roof and we will always be upfront about that. Here is what we look for during a complimentary inspection to determine if your roof qualifies:
Your shingles are between 5 and 15 years old and showing signs of aging but still have structural integrity with no significant cracking, missing sections, or decking damage.
Your roof has not been previously coated with a sealant or waterproof coating that would prevent the treatment from penetrating the shingle surface.
Your shingles are asphalt. Roof Maxx is specifically formulated for asphalt shingle roofs and is not applicable to metal, tile, or flat roofing systems.
If your roof qualifies, Roof Maxx can extend its life by up to five years per treatment and save you thousands of dollars compared to a full replacement. If it does not qualify we will tell you honestly and give you the best path forward for your specific situation.
