Everything you need to know about the professional roof painting process — from initial inspection to final coat.
Getting your roof painted is one of the best investments you can make for your Auckland home. But understanding the process helps you know what to expect and ensures you're getting quality workmanship.
Step 1: Initial Roof Inspection
Before any painting begins, a thorough inspection is carried out to assess the roof's condition, identify any repairs needed, and determine the best paint products for your specific roof type.
Step 2: Moss & Lichen Treatment
Any biological growth is treated with a moss killer and left to work for several days before the cleaning phase begins.
Step 3: High-Pressure Cleaning
A powerful pressure wash removes all loose paint, dirt, moss, and debris. This is crucial for proper paint adhesion.
Step 4: Repairs & Priming
Any damaged areas, cracked tiles, or rusted metal are repaired. A primer coat is applied where needed to ensure maximum durability.
Step 5: Paint Application
We use premium Dulux Roof & Trim paint, applying it with professional spray equipment for even coverage. Typically two coats are applied.
Step 6: Final Inspection & Clean-Up
A thorough final inspection ensures every area is covered and the finish is flawless. All materials and equipment are removed, leaving your property clean and tidy.
