Roof Painting and Roof Replacement


Roof painting is the process of preparing and applying specialised protective coatings to your existing roof. This typically involves thorough cleaning, followed by repairs to any minor damage to refresh the roof and protect it. Roof replacement involves removing the existing roof and installation of a brand-new roof. This is usually recommended when your roof has reach the end of its lifespan or has structural integrity issues.

When to Choose Roof Painting

If the roof structure appears aged and faded, but the roof material is still in good condition, then roof painting is the recommended solution. Painting is considerably less expensive and quicker.


When to Choose Roof Replacement

If your roof is damaged, cracked or corroded, you need a roof replacement. Some roofs outlast others; many materials have a finite life and building codes or insurance policies may require a replacement.

Comparing Costs of Painting vs Replacement

Roof painting generally, are much lower, with preparation, materials and labour. The cost of replacing a roof includes the cost of the roofing material, labour, waste removal and any permit costs. By providing a protective barrier, painting can prevent further degradation, and delay roof replacement. Roof replacement provides a completely new system designed for longevity.

Energy Efficiency Considerations

Roof coatings can be reflective, which means they can decrease the amount of heat absorbed from the sun. This can help to keep the home cooler and may reduce air conditioning expenses. The materials and designs used in modern roofs can enhance their thermal insulation properties, which leads to improved energy efficiency.

 

Business Disruption and Project Timeframes

Roof painting is generally a much faster process, with less disruption. It can be done in a few days, a roof replacement is a much larger job that may take weeks. This will require increased noise, dust and site access.
