Roof painting in Perth, on a roof that's ready for the coating.

Tile or Colorbond, colour change or refresh. The roof gets cleaned and repaired first, then a primer, then coats of a proper roof membrane in the colour you pick. Premium systems including Dulux AcraTex, applied to the manufacturer's spec, by a family team 15+ years into Perth roofs.

The job, in order

Most of painting
happens before the paint.

A coating is only as good as what it goes onto. Two thirds of this job is preparation, and it is the two thirds cheap quotes skip.

STEP 01

Assessment, then colour

We get on the roof, work out its condition and what has to be fixed before a coating goes anywhere near it. Then we help you settle the colour, because a roof colour is a decision you live with for a long time.

STEP 02

High-pressure clean first

The roof is cleaned thoroughly with a high-pressure machine. This is not cosmetic. Coating will not bond to a dirty roof, and painting over grime is the single most common reason a roof paint job fails early.

STEP 03

Repairs before anything cosmetic

Cracked and broken tiles get replaced and other damage gets fixed while the roof is bare. Painting over a fault hides it for about a season, then you are paying for the repair and the coating twice.

STEP 04

Primer coat

A primer goes down first so the membrane grips properly and lasts. On a porous concrete tile roof this step is the difference between a coating that holds and one that lifts.

STEP 05

Multiple coats of roof membrane

Then the membrane, two coats for even coverage and depth of colour, using weather-resistant systems built for Australian conditions. Applied to the manufacturer's spec, which is what makes any guarantee worth having.

Final inspection and clean up

We check the finished roof for consistency and coverage, tidy the site, and give you straight advice on keeping the finish looking like it does on day one.

What goes on the roof

Roof paint,
or a roof membrane.

The word painting undersells what actually goes on a roof. There is a real difference between conventional roofing paint and a membrane system, and it shows up years later.

Membrane, not conventional paint

We use a high-quality roof membrane rather than standard roofing paint. Products like Dulux AcraTex Roof Membrane give better protection and last longer than conventional roofing paints, which matters on a surface that cops full Perth sun all summer.

A primer surfacer first, then two coats of Dulux roofing membrane in your colour. Optional specialty coatings can be added for extra UV protection where the roof is fully exposed.

A different prep, a different system

Metal is not tile with a different shape. It gets a 4000 psi clean with water only, weathered tek screws replaced where they are a leak risk, rust inhibitor where the sheeting needs it, then a Dulux MX primer made for metal and two coats of Dulux AcraTex.

Done that way a tired Colorbond roof comes back looking sharp. More on painting a Colorbond roof. If sheets are past saving, we will tell you that instead of putting an expensive coating on a roof that needs replacing.

Straight numbers

What painting
honestly costs.

There is no one-size answer on roof painting, and any number quoted before someone has seen your roof is a number designed to get a foot in the door. Painting is priced off your roof: how big it is, what shape it is in, and how much cleaning and repair has to happen first. You get the real figure in writing after a free onsite look, and painting is usually part of a full restoration rather than a job on its own.

The 15-year guarantee, in writing.

Our written guarantee covers defects in our materials and workmanship for 15 years from completion, which is only possible because the coating goes on to spec, on a roof that was prepared properly. Terms on our warranty page.

What moves the price

Size and design. Square metres, pitch and how complicated the roofline is.

Condition. How much repair work and cleaning the roof needs before a coating can go on.

Materials. Which coating system the roof needs, and how many coats.

Access. Single storey with clear access is a different job to a steep two storey on a tight block.

Fair questions

Asked every week.
Answered straight.

How much does roof painting cost in Perth?+

There is no single price, because it depends on the size and design of the roof, how much repair and cleaning is needed first, the coating system chosen and how hard the roof is to get to. The onsite look is free and the quote is written. For context on full roof work, the cost guide sets out the restoration range.

Is roof paint the same as house paint?+

No. A roof wants a proper roof membrane rather than conventional paint. Systems like Dulux AcraTex Roof Membrane give better durability and hold up longer than standard roofing paints, which is why we use them.

Does the roof have to be cleaned and repaired first?+

Yes, and it is not us padding the job. Coating will not adhere properly to a dirty roof, and any cracked or broken tiles left under a fresh coating turn into a bigger problem later. Clean, repair, then coat, in that order, every time.

Can you paint a Colorbond or metal roof?+

Yes. The preparation is different: a 4000 psi clean with water only, badly weathered tek screws replaced, rust inhibitor where it is needed, then a Dulux MX primer made for metal and two coats of Dulux AcraTex.

Can I change the colour of my roof?+

Yes. You pick the colour and we will talk you through what suits the house rather than just handing you a chart. It is one of the fastest ways to change how the whole place looks from the street.

We come out, check what the roof needs before a coating goes on, and give you the number in writing. Colour, prep and coats all set out, so you know exactly what you are buying.
