Roof painting is the highest-impact facelift a home can get — and done properly, it's protection as much as looks. We use premium membrane coating systems applied over correctly prepared surfaces, so the finish lasts 15+ years instead of 5.
Paint fails when it's applied over dirt, moss or chalky old surfaces. That's why our painting jobs start the same way our restorations do: a full clean, repairs to cracked tiles or rust spots, then a high-build primer/sealer before any colour goes on. Two membrane top coats finish the system. Skip the prep and you repaint in five years; do it right and the roof outlasts the warranty.
The entire roof stripped back to a clean, sound substrate — no coating over grime.
Cracked tiles, rust spots and failed pointing fixed before any coating.
High-build primer-sealer locks down porous surfaces and bonds the system.
First full colour coat of premium roofing membrane.
Second full coat for film build, colour depth and warranty compliance.
People often ask for 'roof painting' when what their roof needs is a restoration — and sometimes the reverse. The difference is what happens before the coating:
| Roof Painting | Full Restoration | |
|---|---|---|
| Cleaning | Included | Included |
| Minor repairs | Included | Included |
| Re-bedding ridge capping | — | Included where needed |
| Repointing all capping | — | Included |
| Valley replacement | — | Included where needed |
| Coating system | Primer + 2 membrane coats | Primer + 2 membrane coats |
| Best for | Sound, well-maintained roofs | Roofs 25+ years or showing wear |

A colour change transforms how the whole house reads from the street — and the right choice does more than look good. Heat-reflective formulations in lighter tones measurably cut summer ceiling temperatures, while the deep modern charcoals remain the Coast's most popular pick:
A faded 90s terracotta-look roof repainted in a modern charcoal changes how the entire house reads from the street. We can custom-mix to match any colour, and we'll advise what works with your brick, render and the coastal light — including heat-reflective options that earn their keep every summer.
A typical roof painting job runs three to four days, weather permitting. Day one is the pressure clean — the noisy day — and you'll see your roof's true condition emerge. Day two covers repairs and the primer/sealer coat, which often looks chalky-flat and worries people (it's meant to — it's the bonding layer, not the finish). Days three and four are the membrane colour coats, where the transformation happens. We work around weather windows, never coat onto a damp surface or ahead of rain, and confirm each morning what's planned. You can stay home throughout — everything happens outside.
The coating system does the heavy lifting; a few small habits protect the investment:
Our membrane coating systems are engineered for 15–20 years when applied over properly prepared surfaces — and backed by a 15-year warranty* on the premium system (*conditions apply).
Glazed terracotta shouldn't be painted — the glaze rejects coatings. We clean and repoint terracotta instead, and we'll tell you straight if painting isn't right for your roof.
Yes — faded Colorbond and other metal roofs respray beautifully with the right prep and metal-specific coating systems.
Usually yes — old coatings are assessed during inspection. Sound previous coatings are cleaned and primed over; failing ones are pressure-stripped first so the new system bonds properly.
Modern membranes are shower-safe within a few hours and we schedule coats around the forecast — your roof is never left vulnerable overnight.
Marginally, yes — but modern heat-reflective formulations close much of the gap, and ceiling insulation matters far more. We'll talk you through the trade-off for your home and orientation.
Yes — the membrane is custom-mixed, so we can match Colorbond colours, a swatch, or anything you bring us. We'll also advise on what suits your brick, render and the coastal light before you commit.
Completely — different prep (rust treatment, etch priming), different membrane formulation, different application. It's why 'one quote fits all roofs' painting offers should worry you. We run the correct system for each surface.
