Call (217) 851-4959 to schedule your free roof inspection.

Question 2

What does a professional roof inspection include?

Accepted Answer

A Pantheon Roofing Solutions roof inspection is a thorough evaluation of your entire roofing system, not just a quick visual check. We assess the roof's pitch, structural integrity, dimensions, shingle condition (granule loss, cracking, curling), flashing integrity, ventilation, and any signs of water damage or wear. You'll receive a detailed inspection report that clearly identifies whether your roof needs maintenance, rejuvenation, repair, or replacement, with honest recommendations based on the data, not a sales pitch.

Question 3

How do I know if my roof needs attention?

Accepted Answer

There are several signs that indicate your roof may need professional attention:

- Shingles that are cracking, curling, or buckling
- Granule loss (you'll see shingle granules collecting in your gutters)
- Missing or damaged shingles
- Black streaks or algae growth on the roof surface
- Water stains on your ceiling or in your attic
- Visible sagging in the roofline
- Your roof is approaching or past the 15-20 year mark
- Increased energy bills (which can signal poor roof insulation)

If you notice any of these warning signs, scheduling a free inspection is the smartest first step. Many issues are fixable with a simple repair or rejuvenation treatment. Catching them early prevents far more expensive problems down the road.

Question 4

Do you push roof replacements as the solution every time?

Accepted Answer

No, and that's a core part of who we are. We look at each roof individually and recommend the most cost-effective solution based on its actual condition. Our approach is Rejuvenate • Repair • Replace, meaning we explore less expensive options first. Your roof may not need a replacement, and you could save thousands. If it does need replacing, we're more than equipped to handle the job with top-quality CertainTeed materials and a 10-year workmanship warranty.

Question 5

What is roof rejuvenation?

Accepted Answer

Roof rejuvenation is a treatment that restores aging asphalt shingles by replenishing the natural oils they've lost over time. Pantheon Roofing Solutions uses Roof Maxx, a plant-based bio-oil treatment that penetrates into the asphalt core of your shingles, restoring their flexibility and waterproofing. A single treatment adds up to 5 years of life to your roof, and with up to three treatments applied every five years, you can extend your roof's lifespan by up to 15 years, at a fraction of the cost of a full roof replacement.

Question 6

How does Roof Maxx work?

Accepted Answer

Roof Maxx of Champaign, IL uses millions of micro-beads of soy methyl ester (SMEE), a food-grade, plant-based bio-oil, that soak into your asphalt shingles and replace the petrochemical oils that have dried out over time. As shingles age, they lose their natural oils due to weather exposure and UV radiation, becoming brittle, cracking, and losing their protective granules. Roof Maxx reverses this aging process by restoring shingle flexibility, improving granule adhesion, and enhancing water vapor resistance. The treatment has been tested and validated by The Ohio State University, which confirmed significant improvements across five performance categories.

Question 7

Is Roof Maxx worth the investment?

Accepted Answer

Yes, for qualifying roofs, Roof Maxx is one of the most cost-effective ways to protect your home. A Roof Maxx treatment typically costs 15-25% of a full roof replacement, saving homeowners up to 85%. It adds up to 5 years of life per application with a transferable 5-year warranty, and the entire process takes just a few hours with no mess or disruption. It's backed by Ohio State University testing, over 100,000 homes treated nationwide, and a 4.9-star rating across more than 14,000 reviews.

Question 8

What age roof qualifies for Roof Maxx treatment?

Accepted Answer

Roof Maxx is most effective on asphalt shingle roofs that are 6-25 years old and still structurally sound. In northern climates such as Champaign-Urbana and Central Illinois, most roofs begin to show signs of aging around 8-10 years old. Older roofs may qualify as well. We've successfully treated roofs up to 30 years old, though some may require minor repairs before treatment. Roofs under 6 years old typically still retain their original oils and won't benefit significantly from treatment.

A free inspection will tell us whether your roof is a good candidate for rejuvenation.
