What proper roof painting involves
Roof painting done right isn’t a single coat of colour — it’s a coating system. We high-pressure clean the roof, carry out repairs, then apply one coat of primer-sealer followed by two top coats of Dulux AcraTex water-based membrane with an airless sprayer for an even finish. That’s why roof painting is priced and carried out as part of a restoration — you can’t sensibly paint a roof that hasn’t been cleaned and repaired first.
Why the painter matters
Anyone can put paint on a roof; not everyone can make it last. Our roof painting is done by Dulux-accredited registered painters, not general labour — which is what makes the 15-year Dulux AcraTex paint warranty genuine. An unaccredited operator using unknown product can’t offer that backing, no matter what they promise. It’s the single biggest reason a proper $22/m² job outlasts a cheap one.
Painting vs cheap roof paint
The difference between a proper roof painting job and a cheap one shows up in two or three years. A rock-bottom price usually means a thin single coat of low-grade paint over a barely-prepared roof — it looks fine for a season, then fades and peels. A genuine Dulux AcraTex system over a properly cleaned, repaired and primed roof still looks new years later. Preparation and product are everything.
Which roofs can be painted
Most concrete tile, terracotta and Colorbond roofs can be painted, provided they’re structurally sound. Terracotta and previously coated roofs need extra preparation, which is why they’re $24/m². A faded Colorbond roof can be re-painted rather than replaced, and a tired tile roof comes up like new. A roof that’s failed structurally, though, needs a re-roof, not paint.
Choosing your colour
Roof painting is also your chance to change the look of the whole home. We use the full Dulux AcraTex colour range — greys, charcoals, whites, earth tones, reds and greens — and lighter colours reflect heat to help keep the house cooler through Perth’s summers. Choosing the colour is part of the service, with a free on-site consult.
Getting a roof painting quote
Every roof is measured and quoted after a free inspection, so you know the exact figure before committing. The $22/m² rate ($24/m² for terracotta and previously coated) covers the clean, an allowance of repairs, primer and two membrane coats — all backed by our 10-year workmanship and 15-year paint warranty.
