You might be doing the roof painting after a few years. There would be some crack and damages in the tiles of the roof. The professional services first believe in inspections of the roofing material. They

  • Makes notes of places which are cracked and damaged.
  • They prefer cleaning the surfaces to make it free from dust, debris and molds. As the roof faces raining, sunlight, snowfall or other natural calamities, they need to go through professional cleaning. Beware of further cracking if you are dealing with clay tiles. Be gentle on them.


They Clean the Surface With a Power Wash:

What is a power wash? Well, power washing a high force water pipe that holds over the roof before painting the job. Use a long hose. Roof painting services in Brisbane possess a high-quality power hose that is easily accessible and long. They have helpers assist the power wash.

They Let the Water Gets Dry:

They Buy Acrylic Water Based Paint:

  • Even if you don’t dilute the second coat, it is not necessary.
  • Wait for at least 2 to 3 hours between two coats.
  • They use specialised brush painters and rollers for the roof painting job.
  • They chose a favourable weather condition for roof painting. Generally, it is the summer season. In the rainy season or winter is not at all favourable for the roof painting job. 
  • They consider the colours of the roof painting job. Some prefer bold colours like red. But white is also a  popular option as it reflects the sunlight keeping the house cold on summer days.


Summing Up:

Those who thought that painting jobs are easy, well, are not. Professional services don't jump on the painting job. They know that to ensure a high class finishing it needs a lot of work from choosing the right kit to step by step guidance.
