Roof Painting FAQ
Everything you need to know about our roof painting service in Melbourne. Can't find your answer? Call us directly.
How long does a roof restoration last?
A quality roof restoration with premium membrane coating typically lasts 10-15 years before the coating needs refreshing. The structural repairs (rebedding, repointing, tile replacement) last much longer. We provide a 10-year workmanship warranty and the coating carries its own manufacturer warranty.
Is it worth restoring my roof vs replacing it?
If your roof structure is sound (no sagging, no major timber damage), restoration is almost always the better option. It costs 20-30% of a full re-roof and delivers excellent results. During our free inspection, we'll honestly advise if restoration is suitable or if replacement is recommended.
What colours are available for roof coating?
Over 50 colours are available in the Dulux AcraTex and Nutech ranges. Popular choices include Woodland Grey, Monument, Basalt, Ironstone, and Cottage Green. We bring colour charts to your consultation so you can choose against your existing walls and surrounds.
How long does roof restoration take?
A standard residential roof restoration takes 3-5 working days: Day 1 high-pressure cleaning, Day 2 repairs and rebedding, Day 3-4 primer and first coat, Day 5 second coat and cleanup. Weather delays may extend this timeline.
Do heat-reflective coatings actually reduce cooling costs?
Yes, studies show heat-reflective roof coatings can reduce roof surface temperature by up to 30°C and indoor temperatures by 2-5°C, leading to cooling cost savings of 10-20%. Lighter colours reflect more heat than darker colours.
Can you restore a Colorbond or metal roof?
Yes, we restore metal roofs including Colorbond, corrugated iron, and custom orb. Metal roof restoration involves cleaning, treating any rust spots, priming bare metal areas, and applying specialist metal roof coating. The process is slightly different to tile restoration but delivers equally impressive results.
