Roof Maxx for Residential Roofs in Northwest Nevada
Adding Renewed Life to Reno, Truckee, and Lake Tahoe Homes
If you’re reading about Roof Maxx, you’ve probably already figured out that your asphalt shingle roof isn’t failing — it’s aging. Granules in the gutter, faded color, brittle edges at the eaves. You’re not in a panic. You’re trying to make the right call: treat the roof, repair it, or replace it.
Roof Maxx is a plant-based treatment that restores flexibility to aging asphalt shingles and extends their working life by five years per application — up to 15 years across three treatments. Mills Roofing is the #1 Roof Maxx dealer in the United States, and we’ve been roofing in Northwest Nevada since 1979. We’ll tell you honestly whether your roof qualifies.

What’s Actually Happening to an Aging Asphalt Roof
Asphalt shingles dry out from the inside. The oils that keep them flexible evaporate, and at Sierra Nevada elevation they evaporate faster than at sea level. UV at altitude is unforgiving. Once those oils are gone, shingles crack, curl, and shed granules — and the roof loses its ability to shed water cleanly.
Roof Maxx is a plant-based oil that soaks into the shingle and replaces what time pulled out. Flexibility returns. Water sheds. The roof keeps doing its job for another five years per treatment. This is not a sealant or a coating. It’s a restoration of the shingle itself.
When Roof Maxx is the Right Call
Roof Maxx is a real alternative to replacement for roofs that are aging but structurally sound. It is not a fix for roofs that have already failed. We don’t apply it to roofs that won’t hold the treatment, because you’d spend money twice.
Your roof is likely a good candidate if:
- It’s an asphalt shingle roof, 10 to 20 years old
- Shingles are losing granules but not widely cracked or missing
- Decking is sound, flashing is intact, and there are no active leaks
- You want more years out of this roof before committing to replacement
Replacement is the better answer when:
- Shingles are widely cracked, brittle past the point of flexibility, or missing
- The decking underneath shows soft spots or water damage
- The roof is past 25 years and showing structural wear
- Flashing failures or repeated leaks point to systemic problems
If we recommend replacement, we’ll talk through asphalt shingle and metal options using Owens Corning and CertainTeed materials — the manufacturers we trust on Northwest Nevada homes. As Owens Corning Platinum Preferred Contractors (top 1% nationwide), we install with extended warranty coverage homeowners can verify.
How a Mills Roof Maxx Project Actually Goes
You’ve probably read a lot of vague descriptions of “the process.” Here’s ours.
- Inspection. A trained Mills technician walks your roof and evaluates shingle flexibility, granule retention, flashing, ventilation, and decking. You receive a written report with photos — not a verbal summary at the curb. If the roof qualifies, we’ll say so. If it doesn’t, we’ll explain why and walk through the alternatives.
- Scheduling. Once you decide to move forward, we put the treatment on the calendar around your schedule — not ours. For absentee owners, we coordinate access and confirm timing in writing. You’ll know exactly when our crew will be on-site.
- Application. Our crew applies the Roof Maxx bio-oil evenly across the shingles. Treatment takes a few hours for most homes. The shingles absorb the oil within hours and are ready for rain the same day. We leave the property as we found it, send post-treatment documentation, and put your roof on a five-year reapplication reminder if you want one.
Why Northwest Nevada Homeowners Choose Mills for Roof Maxx
Becoming the country’s top Roof Maxx dealer didn’t happen because we marketed harder. It happened because homeowners in Reno, Sparks, Carson City, Tahoe, and Truckee kept choosing us, kept telling their neighbors, and kept calling us back for the next treatment cycle.
Here’s what stands behind that:
- Established 1979. Forty-five-plus years in Northwest Nevada — the same roofs, the same families, sometimes three generations of the same household.
- 4.9-star customer rating across verifiable review platforms.
- Owens Corning Platinum Preferred Contractor. Top 1% of contractors nationwide.
- #1 Roof Maxx dealer in the United States. More treated roofs than any other Roof Maxx contractor in the country.
- Green Business certified. The certification is real. Roof Maxx itself is a plant-based product, which lines up with how we operate.
- Spanish and Vietnamese-speaking team members.
- Financing available through verified lending partners.
These are claims you can check. We’d rather you did.
Where We Work — and Why We’re Here
We’ve been roofing in Northwest Nevada since 1979. That’s not a marketing line — it’s the reason we know which neighborhoods get hit hardest by elevation UV, which Tahoe streets ice over in February, and which Carson City homes still have the original 1990s asphalt shingles we could probably extend with Roof Maxx instead of tearing off.
This is where we live. Our crews are local. Our families are local. When we put a Roof Maxx treatment on your roof, we’re not passing through — we’ll be the contractor you call back in five years for the next application, and the one you call when your neighbor needs a recommendation.
Roof Maxx fits how we think about this work. Three treatments over 15 years means a real relationship, not a one-time transaction. We get to know your roof. You get a contractor who already has the photo records, the inspection history, and the context the next time something comes up.
Our roof maxx residential service area includes, but is not limited to: North Lake Tahoe, South Lake Tahoe, Truckee, Reno, Sparks, Carson Valley, & Fallon-Fernley.
Roof Maxx Residential Applications: Frequently Asked Questions
A single application adds about five years of working life to an asphalt shingle roof. Roof Maxx can be reapplied every five years for up to three treatments — 15 total years of extension. For a roof installed in 2015, that potentially pushes replacement into the late 2030s.
A Roof Maxx treatment is a fraction of the cost of a full asphalt shingle replacement. Exact pricing depends on roof size, pitch, and access. We give written estimates after inspection — never sight-unseen.
No. Leaks point to a structural problem — flashing failure, compromised decking, shingle damage — that a treatment will not resolve. During inspection we identify the cause and recommend the appropriate repair before any conversation about Roof Maxx.
Yes. The bio-oil is plant-based and non-toxic. Landscaping, pets, and gutters are unaffected by application or runoff.
Probably not yet. Roof Maxx is designed for asphalt shingle roofs roughly 10 years old or older. If your roof is younger and you’re seeing problems, an inspection will identify what’s actually going on — sometimes the issue is ventilation, flashing, or installation, not shingle age.
Yes. A significant portion of our customers are second-home owners. We coordinate scheduling, send photo documentation, and handle the project without requiring you to be on-site.
Why So Many Customers Stay With Mills for Life
Community matters. Mills has been recommended neighbor-to-neighbor across Northwest Nevada for 45+ years because we deliver on every promise — and we’re still here when you need us five, ten, or twenty years later. That’s the Mills difference.
Here’s what our customers are saying…
EmilyI had Mills Roofing apply the new Roof Maxx product to my roof about 3 weeks ago. I love it! My roof looks almost new again, it is 20 years old! I’m excited to get more life from my roof, not add to a land fill, and that the product is safe for plants and pets, I’m sold. The guys that did the work were on time, professional, and left everything exactly as they found it. Mills Roofing was great to work with and I highly recommend them and choosing rejuvenating your roof before replacing for money savings as well as environmental responsibility. I definitely recommend Mills Roofing!
AmyWe had Mills Roofing come out to take a look at our roof. Upon inspection, the owners (who are very knowledgeable), told us they could save us some major dough by applying a new product called Roof Maxx. Our roof is on the older side, and with Roof Maxx they told us it could extend the life of the shingles by 5-10 years at the fraction of the cost of a re-roof! Yes please!! So we went ahead and hired Mills Roofing to apply the product to our roof. From the first call to the last truck leaving our house, Mills Roofing has been very pleasant to work with. Extremely satisfied with our experience, we highly recommend this company for your roofing needs. We will definitely be calling Mills Roofing for future work on our roof!
BillWe would like to thank the terrific team at Mills Roofing for helping us to maintain the 20 buildings in Truckee using the Roof Maxx roof treatment.

We are delighted with the Platinum service!
