Frequently asked questions

Can I paint over a rusted metal roof? 

No, painting over rust is not recommended as it will lead to premature paint failure and ongoing deterioration. Rust must be properly treated or the affected areas replaced before any coating application can proceed.

How much does roof painting cost in NZ? 

Roof painting costs vary significantly based on factors including roof size, pitch, accessibility, surface condition, and the quality of coating system selected. We provide comprehensive free assessments and detailed quotes tailored to your specific requirements.

How long does roof painting typically take? 

Most residential roof painting projects require 2-4 working days, depending on the roof size, complexity, surface preparation requirements, and prevailing weather conditions. Commercial projects may require extended timeframes based on scope and access considerations.

How often should a roof be repainted? 

With premium coating systems and proper application, roof repainting is typically recommended every 10-15 years. However, this timeframe can vary depending on environmental exposure, roof orientation, and the quality of previous coatings. Regular inspections help determine optimal recoating schedules.

How do you handle roofs that may contain asbestos?

We follow strict safety protocols for potential asbestos-containing materials. A representative sample is collected and sent to a laboratory in Wellington for analysis. Should asbestos be confirmed, we engage certified asbestos removal specialists to safely remediate the material before any painting work commences.

What happens if you find damage or leaks during the assessment? 

If structural issues, leaks, or damage are identified during our initial assessment, we can provide referrals to qualified roofing contractors for necessary repairs. All remedial work must be completed before the painting process can begin to ensure optimal results and longevity.
