What is roof restoration?
The term ‘roof restoration’ means the complete process of transforming a damaged, old or deteriorating roof back to like-new condition by a team of expert roof restorers. A roof restoration is a comprehensive process that covers a number of steps, including a roof condition assessment, repair, pressure clean, priming and double coating of a specially formulated roof membrane, providing a new paint finish.
Cost by types of roof restorations
There are two main types of roof restorations - tiled roof restorations or metal roof restorations - with costs varying depending on a number of factors, such as the size of your roof, roof style and materials and the number of repairs needed.
1. Metal roof restoration cost
The cost of a metal roof restoration can start from around $5,000, with the average cost of a metal roof restoration for a small-medium sized home around $5,000-$6,000. Costs will range depending on variables like roof size, pitch, style, material and how much damage needs repairing so it is important to discuss all ares with your independent applicator ahead of work commencement.
All types of metal roofs can be restored including Zincalume®, Colorbond® and galvanised iron.
As they age, metal roofs can begin to degrade, with loose or damaged metal sheets, surface deterioration, holes and growth of fungus and moss affecting your roof’s strength and durability. Restoring a metal roof will transform its external appearance while treating underlying causes of damage.
Your roof may require the removal of corrosion and a special rust preventing primer to be applied.
2. Tiled roof restoration cost
The cost of a tiled roof restoration starts from around $4,000, with the average cost of a tiled roof restoration for a small-medium sized home around $4,000-$6,000. Costs will vary depending on the type of tiles (concrete vs terracotta), how damaged your roof is, the size of your home and the access available to your roof.
Tiled roofs can begin to crack and fade, with tiles become loose or missing, affecting your roof’s ability to provide watertight protection. Damaged valley irons can allow water to seep under your tiles and into your home’s structure. Additionally, cracked and damaged mortar can allow moisture and debris to enter the surface of your roof, creating the need for expensive future repairs.
