A healthy and well-maintained roof is one of the most important parts of every home. Your roof not only protects your house from rain, sun, and wind but also enhances its overall appearance. Over time, due to Australia’s harsh climate, roofs can suffer from wear and tear. A professional roof restoration not only improves the look of your property but also extends the life of your roof. Here’s a step-by-step guide to the process:
1. Roof Inspection
The first step is a detailed inspection. A roofing specialist will check all parts of the roof, including:
– Cracked or broken tiles
– Leaks or signs of water damage
– Moss, algae, or lichen growth
– Rust on metal sheets or gutters
2. Roof Cleaning
Next, the roof is thoroughly cleaned using high-pressure washing. This removes dirt, moss, algae, and old paint. A clean surface is essential to ensure the new paint adheres properly and to reveal any hidden damage.
3. Repairs & Replacements
Before painting, all damaged sections must be repaired or replaced. This may include:
– Replacing broken tiles
– Re-bedding and re-pointing ridge caps
– Fixing leaks and sealing joints
4. Applying Primer
A high-quality primer coat is then applied to the roof. This helps the paint bond effectively and creates a protective layer against moisture.
5. Roof Painting
Finally, two coats of premium roof membrane paint are applied.
