The Truth About Roof Restoration: Debunking 7 Common Myths

1. We don’t have to change your ridge capping

The truth is damaged, loose, and old capping should be re-installed to ensure a durable and effective roof restoration.

2. Painting your roof only needs one coat

Painting your roof multiple coats is key for a successful game. The base coat allows for better adhesion to the the roof and the sealer on the roof provide a protective barrier before the roof membrane goes on top.

3. We don’t need to pressure clean your roof

Pressure cleaning offers a deeper clean. Without it your roof will still have dirt and mould build up that could make your roof restoration unsuccessful.

4. You don’t need to use quality paint

The type of paint you choose to use will affect the longevity of your roof restoration. Cheap paint will not last as long as quality paint, which can cost more but save you money in the long run.

5. This won’t take long

A good roof restoration usually takes days, if not weeks, from start to finish. So, if you’re hearing a timeline that is far too short, this should be a red flag.

6. We’ll get started right away

Good roof painters and roof restoration companies will not start right away. They will typically measure your roof, see what required repairs are needed, and inspect your roof to give you an accurate assessment.

7. There’s no need for scaffolding

Scaffolding is a must if you want to properly restore your roof. This allows easy access to the roof while ensuring the safety of the contractor and anyone else working on the job.
