Melbourne homeowners FAQ: Answers to common roof restoration questions

What does a roof restoration process consist of?

Roof restoration in Melbourne is the process of restoring an old and damaged roof to ensure it is functionally in the best state possible. Generally, an expert roof restoration process involves:

1. High-pressure roof cleaning
2. Roof repairs, including replacement of roofing material (not entirely, only damaged parts).
3. Fixing roof gutter, fascia or valley
4. 4-Coat roof painting

Sometimes, more work is needed. It’s best to have a professional check your roof to determine exactly what needs to be done.

When is the best time of year to do a roof restoration?

It’s important to dispel the myth that roofing work, including roof restoration and painting, is limited to certain seasons. In reality, there’s no ideal or unsuitable season for roofing works. The application of high-quality acrylic membranes and a 4-coat painting system has additives that speed up drying, so the temperature isn’t an issue. Rain can affect the coatings during or right after application, but high-quality coatings are usually touch dry within 30 minutes. As long as the company checks the weather, you can get a good job done in both summer and winter.
