Your roof is the most important part of protecting your home from the weather and harsh New Zealand UV rays from the sun, and no matter how great the paint job on it is, those elements will eventually cause it to need some work so it can keep doing its important job. Experts suggest that repainting your roof every 10 - 15 years can prevent serious damage from occurring, saving you major unnecessary costs!
BK Painters’ expert roof painter Bhim can visit your premises to carry out a routine inspection on your roof, to determine its condition and what sort of treatment can help extend its life. The things to check for include: flaking or wearing out of roof paint, build up of rust or corrosion, or moulds like lichen growing causing damage to the underlying roof material.
When rust or other corrosive conditions like lichen build up to a certain extent, it can damage your roof causing anything from small to big leaks, which in turn can damage the underlying wooden structure of the house and even the interior ceiling, if not dealt with in a time. During an inspection, we will check the extent of any damage and determine whether your roof needs to have any special cleaning or protective products applied prior to repainting, to ensure that it’s going to last as long as possible before it needs maintenance again.
Once any rust or mould are dealt with professionally, which often involves applying rust or mould killing products and professional waterblasting, BK Painters’ roof painting expert can begin the painting process by prepping the roof and applying a primer, to help further coats of paint stick better and prevent premature peeling and flaking in the future.
Once you’ve chosen a new colour for your roof, two or three topcoats will be applied depending on the condition of the roof. Apart from giving your property a great new look, another function of the paint is to help seal the roof from leaks through the screws or nails holding the roofing material to the house, or through other small gaps that may be present. Preventing leaks in this way helps to secure your home from dangerous leaks that can cause major damage if left unaddressed.
