Roof Cleaning Is Always Done Before We Start A Roof Restoration
This ensures that our professional team will give you the quality workmanship that we always promise.
● Cleaning: Assuming a full inspection has carried out to assess the roof’s condition, cleaning is the first of the various tasks that should be performed.
This step involves ridding the roof of dirt and debris, moss, and other growths that may have formed.
Pressure washing ensures we can quickly clean the surface.
This step is crucial to ensure a smooth and easy application of roof paint and other products.
A thorough cleaning can also help determine the presence of cracks or other problems before you begin any exterior painting.
● Repair: At this stage, cracks in the roof, broken ridges, and other problems are addressed.
Existing metal parts are scrutinized for weathering, rust, or the presence of moisture. At this stage, it is ideal to use a fungicide to strengthen the roof paint.
Touch-up forms a critical step, as it is nearly impossible to undo things once the roof paint has been applied.
● Painting: The surface is finally ready for a fresh coat of roof paint. Your consultant will advise you on your choice, but weatherproof roof paint can protect your roof and deck much longer. However, the material and condition of the rooftop will determine what type of paint is ideal.
Why Do We Need To Paint Our Roofs?
A well-maintained roof will keep it weatherproofed and make a home look more secure.
A roof that has been neglected, is not only an unsightly feature but also a sign that your house could have problems in the future, if not already.
Therefore, homeowners and property managers should know that roof maintenance is just as significant as any other part of a building.
Painting the roof keeps the entire building in good condition and ensures the longevity of the structure.
Ideally, the roof of a home should be re-painted at least every 8 years or so.
This maintenance approach keeps the roof in perfect condition and ensures that minor issues such as leaks and rust can be easily identified and repaired at minimal cost to the owner.
While there is no denying that roofs of both commercial and residential buildings need to be painted regularly, factors such as the type of paint, timing of painting, and solvents also affect the durability of the paint.
