The roof is often the most neglected part of a building, simply because people don’t tend to think about it. However, for your roof to stay in top condition and stay looking great, it may need to be painted periodically. Read on for more.

Roof painting is just the painting of a roof in order to ensure that it is correctly protected against the elements and that it looks as good as it can. It is important that you use specialised roof paints, not just an exterior paint as the roof is exposed to severe sun and other weather such as wind and rain.

To get a good finish it is important that the process is done correctly. The roof must first be pressure cleaned thoroughly in order to get rid of dirt, moss, algae and other contaminants. It is then repaired where needed. A sealer is then applied before the final roof paint is applied, most commonly using an airless spray painting gun.

Roof painting can be done by a professional roofer, roof restoration company, or painter. Whoever you choose, make sure that they are fully qualified, that they use safe practices when working on the roof, and that they have the necessary insurances. When you get a quote, ensure that it covers all aspects, including the supply of the paint and the cost of labour.
