Roof Painting Sydney

Why get your roof painted? It's not only a smart investment because it will increase your house's kerb appeal, but it will also extend the life of your roof. Let's face it, Sydney's climate isn't friendly to roofs! Its combination of UV exposure, heat and coastal conditions is a key reason that Sydney roofs tend to fade and deteriorate over time. That's why roof painting in Sydney is such a priority. Roofline is a trusted provider of professional roof painting services across the Greater Sydney Area, with decades of experience and a long record of customer satisfaction.

Our Roof Painting Process
Roofline's step-by-step process includes these main stages:
01
Inspection
We begin with a thorough assessment of your roof's condition and identify any repairs needed before painting begins.
02
Cleaning
Proper preparation of your roof's surface is the key to a lasting result. Therefore, we high-pressure clean your roof to remove dirt, moss, lichen and any other debris.
03
Repairs & Prep
Our roofers will then address and repair/replace any cracked tiles, rust spots or surface damage before the primer is applied.
04
Priming:
A durable primer coat is applied to the entire roof. This ensures the adhesion of the top coat and provides a longer-lasting finish.
05
Paint Application
As the final step, we apply two coats of quality paint using premium products.
06
Final Checks
Our professional painters then perform a thorough inspection of your newly-painted roof, with full attention to detail, and consult with you before we sign off on the job.
Roof Types we Paint
At Roofline, our breadth of expertise extends across all common roof types across Sydney. We provide specialist considerations for each roof type, including:
Terracotta Roof Tiles
In addition to moss and lichen removal, these tiles require breathable coatings to allow moisture vapour to escape from the porous clay. This will prevent any trapped moisture from causing cracking and white, powdery deposits of mineral salts.
get started
Concrete Tile Roof Restoration
These require a specialised, high-build concrete roof primer/sealer and application of two coats of acrylic roof membrane or paint that has been designed for concrete.
get started
Metal and Colorbond Roofing
For older, faded metal and Colorbond roofing, high-pressure cleaning is required to remove oxidation, in addition to any rust treatment. A metal-specific bonding primer is also needed.

Roof Painting Benefits
What is "kerb appeal"? Kerb appeal refers to the visual attractiveness of a property, as seen from the street. It defines the first impression a home makes, influencing its perceived value to any potential buyers. That's why a professionally painted roof brings lasting aesthetic benefit by transforming your property's appearance and, yes, boosting its kerb appeal.
Roofline's roof painting services also provide these protective and cost benefits:

• Our high-quality paint seals the roof surface, preventing any moisture ingress while inhibiting moss, lichen growth, and rust on all metal roofs.

• What about the roof painting cost? It's only a fraction of the cost of a full roof replacement!

• Using heat-reflective paint is an option that reduces roof surface temperature and contributes to a cooler home and lower energy bills during Sydney summers.

• A well-maintained and freshly-painted roof can deliver a definite uplift in property value.

Your Top Questions Answered

FAQs

How much does roof painting cost in Sydney?

The cost of painting your roof depends on many factors, such as your roof size, its pitch, condition (is it covered in lichen or moss, or is it rusty?), and the type of paint needed. The thing to bear in mind is that roof painting is significantly more affordable than a roof replacement. Contact Roofline today for a free, no-obligation quote.

How long does roof painting take?

Roof painting in Sydney usually takes 2 to 3 days, depending on the roof size, complexity, and any required repairs. Note that weather conditions can affect both scheduling and drying times.

How often should a roof be repainted?

As a general rule of thumb, a roof should be repainted every 10 to 15 years, depending on your roof material, paint quality and the exposure to the sun and weather. Sydney's UV levels and coastal conditions may require more frequent attention for some properties.

You can always give us a call on 1800 555 800 to discuss your roofing needs!

What type of paint is used for roof painting?

The right paint depends on your roof type. For example, acrylic-based coatings are used for tiles and specialist products are applied for metal and Colorbond roofs. Heat-reflective paint is also a worthwhile option given Sydney's climate. Roofline only uses quality, long-lasting paint products sourced from reputable suppliers.

Do I need to clean my roof before it gets painted?

No. We'll do it for you. Roof cleaning is an essential step and is included in Roofline's service. Our experts handle this cleaning step because painting over a dirty or mossy surface leads to poor adhesion and a shorter lifespan.

Can roof painting be done on all roof types?

At Roofline, we paint all common roof types, including concrete tiles, terracotta, Colorbond, metal and corrugated iron. Because different surfaces require different primers and products, our team will recommend the right approach after inspecting your roof.
