Roof Painting Adelaide
Membrane and acrylic finishes that actually stick - not the discount-spray script.
Roof painting refreshes the look of tile or metal roofs and extends roof life by sealing micro-cracks and reflecting UV. Done properly with a sealer/primer + two colour coats from a recognised supplier (Dulux Acratex, Shieldcoat), expect 10-15 years before re-coat. Done cheaply with single-coat sprays, expect 3-5 years and a peeling roof.
When you need roof painting
- Tiles are sound but colour has faded
- Concrete tiles look chalky or porous
- Pre-sale cosmetic refresh
- Following full restoration as the finishing step
What's included in a proper quote
- Pressure clean of entire roof surface
- Minor tile replacement (broken or cracked)
- Sealer/primer coat from a recognised supplier
- Two colour coats - membrane or acrylic
- Roof ventilator and detail painting
- Final clean down
Adelaide-specific considerations
Two product lines dominate Adelaide: Dulux Acratex (15-year product warranty) and Shieldcoat (15-year). Avoid contractors who can't name the product brand - they're typically using bulk paint and won't honour warranties. Adelaide's UV is intense, so cheap single-coat finishes chalk within 24 months.
