Roof Painting
Roof painting involves cleaning the roof, replacing tiles, pointing cap and painting three coats. However, there may still be leaks due to issues that are not visible from the top of the roof.
Roof Restoration
Roof restoration is a step up from Roof Painting. The difference between roof painting and roof restoration is that roof restoration involves removing the battens from the roof, installing sarking to replace the broken tiles, then putting the roof on again.
Like repainting your car, you can mask off the panels, paint them, or restore it by removing every glass, nut, and bolt and rebuilding it.
Roof Painting Process
Roof painting involves high-pressure water blasting, replacing roof tiles that are broken, repointing cracks in the mortar, and applying 2 coats of Dulux roof membrane and 1 coat of Dulux roof primer to the roof. This will protect the top from the elements such as rain, wind and ice. It also helps to keep pests out and improves the aesthetics of the home.
How long will roof paint last on a house?
If you use a good coating and do the proper preparation, your freshly painted roof should last between 10 and 15 years. Paint fades over time.
What is the guarantee for roof painting?
Roof painting is covered by a warranty of 15 years on the material and 10 years on labour. Roof restorations can last for a decade if they are done with quality coatings and the correct preparation. After 6 to 7 years, the gloss finish may begin to fade. Satin finishes can last longer.
What is the roof restoration warranty?
The restoration includes a 10 year labour warranty as well as a 5 year warranty against leaks.
Which is better, restoration or painting?
Your roof’s condition will depend on whether it is leaking or not.
Roof restoration is the better option if your roof has severe leaks. However, it is more labor intensive as you are rebuilding the roof. Roof restoration involves removing the entire roof to the trusses, installing sarking, replacing the broken tiles and finally painting the roof. The entire roof will be thoroughly inspected and any problems addressed. A roof with sarking is less likely to leak than a roof painted. Roof restoration is therefore a better and more durable solution than painting the roof.
How much does it cost to paint a roof?
