With correct preparation and our premium 3-coat membrane system, a professionally painted roof stays protected for many years — backed by our 15-year roof coating quality guarantee and long-life UV protection.

Yes — we paint tile, cement, terracotta and metal/Colorbond roofs, matched with the right primer and coating system for each surface.

Yes. We high-pressure clean and prepare every roof first so the coating bonds properly — it is included in our restoration process.

Yes — a freshly painted roof gives the outside of your home a professional, unified look and lifts street appeal (a popular step before selling), while protecting the roof from the elements and extending its lifespan.

As a guide on a single-storey, three-bedroom Melbourne home (prices ex GST): a stand-alone repaint of a roof in good condition — where you simply want a colour change — typically costs $1,900 to $2,750, whether the roof is metal or tile. If the roof also needs work first, we carry out the repaint as a minor restoration — cleaned, re-pointed and repaired before coating, so the paint system lasts — which typically costs $2,900 to $4,750. Premium long-lasting paint brands add roughly 30% over standard trade brands. Our standard system is a 3-coat membrane (primer plus two top coats), and every figure is indicative until we inspect — the inspection and written quote are free and obligation-free.

Yes, they can — the key is a specific primer made for terracotta’s fired, glazed surface so the coating bonds properly. With the right preparation the results are transformative, taking a faded, weathered terracotta roof back to a rich, uniform colour. An alternative for terracotta is re-glazing — a hi-gloss coating that restores the original finish rather than changing the colour. We advise which suits your roof at the free inspection.

Yes — if the panels are sound but the finish is faded or chalking, repainting restores the colour and UV protection at well below the cost of re-roofing. The key is correct preparation and the right primer for metal surfaces, which is how our painters approach every Colorbond job. We can also apply “Cool Zone” heat-reflective coating to help keep your home cooler.

The best roof paint is a purpose-made roof membrane matched to your roof material — not standard exterior paint. We use premium, UV-resistant coating systems: a 3-coat membrane for tiles, the right primer system for metal and Colorbond, and heat-reflective “Cool Zone” options. Correct preparation matters as much as the product — it’s what makes the finish last.

We spray. Roof spraying pushes the coating evenly into the profile of every tile and corrugation, which a roller tends to bridge over, so you get a consistent film thickness and even protection across the whole roof. Spray painting a roof also gets into valleys and ridge lines properly. Surfaces that need it are cut in by hand, and everything not being coated is masked and protected first.
