What does it mean to restore your roof?

Home is where the heart is, no matter how big or small a house may be, they’re our fortress and our shelter. It’s extremely important that we always do our best to protect our homes from damage caused by outdoor elements. Storms, strong winds, and numerous debris can cause the roof of a home to become weak and worn over time. If roof problems aren’t treated right away, serious issues can occur after long periods of deterioration. These problems include mould, mildew, damage to the insulation, leaks, discolouring of the roof, wood rot, structural damage, etc. As experts in roof restoration and roof replacement, we can help determine what’s going on with your roof if you suspect there are any problems and help come up with a plan of action to fix them. What’s even more, as Brisbanites ourselves at Roo Roofing, we know the Brisbane area and surrounds.

What is roof restoration?

Generally speaking, a roof restoration is undertaken to make your roof look good and also perform better. A coat of paint will make your roof look like new but that’s purely cosmetic and is by no means as good as new. A full roof restoration should include all the required maintenance to the roof - including replacing broken tiles, removal of old bedding and replacing with new bedding, pressure cleaning of the roof itself and painting the roof with the colour of your choice.

How can you tell if your roof needs to restored?  

While there are some telltale signs that your roof needs to be restored, there are also a number of hidden issues and dangers that can’t be seen by the naked eye. At Roo Roofing we are completely equipped to handle and issues or problems that you may have with your roof. Our professional roofers can identify every part of your roof and determine exactly what is required to restore your roof back to its optimal state. We can also provide you with top quality preventative maintenance and products that will extend the longevity of your roof.


Why roof restoration?

  • Saves you money in the long run. A well-maintained roof is a reliable roof, delivering peace of mind and protection against costly repairs.
  • Improves the visual appeal of your home. Your roof plays an integral role in your home value.
  • Increases your roof's lifespan. Restoring your roof with needed coatings such as waterproof coatings will help increase the lifespan of your roof. Not to mention, these waterproof coatings will help protect your home from rain and harsh weather conditions.
  • Roof restoration is much more cost effective than replacing the entire roof. Don’t let issues become so big that you need to replace the entire roof system.

How much should you expect to pay for a roof restoration?

Those who advertise with set prices for roof restorations are to be considered carefully. How do they know how bad in shape the roof is in? How many tiles are broken? Make sure to get an inspection first before getting the price, as a flat rate fee may imply that the tradies are not actually replacing your broken tiles but moving them to the bottom row or out of site and then painting over them with paint. Remember paint really is just that, paint - all damaged tiles should be replaced.
