Detailed Prep Before Any Roof Paint

What Changes the Price of a Roof Repaint

Two roofs of the same size can cost very different amounts to paint. These six things move the price most.

  • Height and Access

    A two-storey roof needs more setup for safe access.

  • Roof Pitch

    Steeper roofs take longer to work on safely.

  • Roof Material

    Tile and metal roofs need different prep and paint.

  • Roof Condition

    How much rust or moss is on the roof.

  • Colour Change

    A big change in colour may need an extra coat.

  • Gutters and Trims

    Adding gutters and fascias to the job adds time.

Your quote is fixed-scope and in writing, based on what Dan sees at the house. All six are accounted for before you agree to anything.

Asbestos Roofs and Roof Colours

Two things to plan for before painting a roof in Brisbane.

Asbestos Cement Roofs

Some older Brisbane homes have corrugated fibro roofs, often called Super Six, made with asbestos. The Queensland Government says it is illegal to clean these roofs with high-pressure water, because it sprays asbestos dust over your property.

Do not paint an asbestos roof yourself. If you think your roof contains asbestos, we recommend a professional assessment first, and removal by licensed asbestos specialists where it is needed.

Queensland Government asbestos guidance

Choosing a Roof Colour

Dark colours absorb more heat than light ones. Under the Brisbane sun, a lighter roof colour keeps more heat out of the roof space.

The roof is a large part of what you see from the street. We help you pick a roof colour that suits the walls and trims. Colour advice is included in every quote.

Roof Painting Questions

Can you paint a Colorbond roof?

Yes. A Colorbond roof can be painted once it is cleaned and prepped, using a paint system suited to Colorbond steel. Dan checks the roof at the quote and tells you which system suits it.

Can you paint terracotta roof tiles?

Yes. Terracotta tiles are cleaned and prepped, then finished in a paint made for tile roofs. Dan checks the tiles at the quote and picks a primer and paint to suit them.

Yes. Corrugated iron roofs can be painted with primers and paints made for metal roofs. Any surface rust is treated as part of the prep before the first coat.

Can you paint roof tiles?

Yes. Most concrete and terracotta roof tiles can be painted. Different tiles need different prep, and Dan lists the prep for your roof in the written quote.

Is it safe to paint an asbestos roof?
