Facts about roof painting and roof coating
- Both the appearance and value of your home might be improved by having your roof coated.
- Once coated, the roof may need to be repainted every few years.
- A proper roof renovation and coating operation should normally be expected to take about two days.
During and after the work
It is quicker and easier to have any problems dealt with while the operators are working so, if necessary, arrange for a competent friend or family member to keep a check on all stages for you, including completion. In particular ensure that:
- all preparatory work, such as water blasting is carried out successfully;
- sealer coats have been applied and also allowed to dry, prior to the application of finish coats;
- paint is not applied over fresh cement repairs;
- painting work is carried out in favourable weather conditions;
- there is no overspray to areas not to be painted, such as glass panels on solar water heaters;
- your property including lawns, paths and driveways is left in a clean and tidy condition; and
- the roof is checked at intervals over coming months to ensure there is no breakdown of the paintwork.
