Roofs are one of the more exspensive items on a rehab, this week we have Davidson Lunger joining us to discuss alternatives to replacing asphalt shingles. Flippers and landlords alike will not want to miss this REI Live Updates!

Roof Maxx founders, brothers Mike and Todd Feazel, started a roofing business in 1988 and spent the next 25 years building it into one of the largest and most successful in the United States. As you can imagine, they learned just about everything there is to know about roofs during that time. They also watched the industry grow and change, including the way asphalt shingles are manufactured.

Changes in oil refining started to reduce the amount of asphalt available, causing costs to skyrocket and shingle manufacturers to include less asphalt. That meant less of the natural oils that give shingles the flexibility to withstand the elements over time. Today, that means asphalt roofs don't last as long as they used to. (Search the web for “class-action roofing lawsuits” to get a sense of how bad it's gotten out there.)

Now we're proud to be roof preservers.

Mike and Todd sold their roofing company in 2013 to focus on roof sustainability. They researched new technologies that could extend the life of a roof and help prevent the need to prematurely replace it. In the process, they came across some incredible new advancements from the world's largest private research and development company, Battelle Laboratories. It wasn't long before Roof Maxx was born.

Keeping asphalt roofs alive and well.

As shingles age, they start to lose their natural oil and become dry and brittle in the process. That's where Roof Maxx comes in. Our soy fusion technology soaks shingles in all-natural bio-oil that restores their flexibility. This allows asphalt roofs to withstand changing temperatures and extreme weather like a new roof would.

Davidson Lunger owns a 19 office RE/MAX company in DC, Maryland & Virginia. For 25 years he was also a full time Sheriff's Deputy while running the world's # 1 RE/MAX company. After a serious accident and long term rehabilitation brought him to the wonderful Sarasota climate to recoup, Roof Maxx Technologies asked Davidson to be the dealer for the greater Sarasota & Manatee areas. Having built many successful companies, Davidson realized the incredible potential of the first affordable alternative to total asphalt roof replacement.
