Roof painting typically extends a roof’s usable life by a decade or more at a fraction of replacement cost, and works on both Colorbond metal and tile once properly cleaned and prepared. We paint roofs across greater Hobart using coatings selected to handle Tasmania’s mix of salt air, damp shade, and summer UV, backed by our 15-year workmanship warranty.
Satisfied customers
Roofs in shaded, damp pockets — South Hobart, Fern Tree, and the base of kunanyi/Mount Wellington — hold moisture longer through the cooler months, which speeds up moss growth and breaks down old coatings from underneath. Closer to the water, in Sandy Bay, Taroona, Bellerive, and along the Derwent, salt-laden air accelerates corrosion on Colorbond and galvanised roofing even when the surface still looks intact. A repaint
needs to account for which of these conditions applies to your property, not use the same coating system everywhere
Colorbond and metal roofing, galvanised iron, concrete and terracotta tile, and heritage-adjacent properties where council overlays (Battery Point, parts of West Hobart and Sandy Bay) restrict full replacement but allow a repaint in an approved colour.
A professional step-by-step approach for a roof that’s built to last.
Checking for existing damage, rust, and moisture issues before quoting, so nothing is missed once work starts.
Moss, lichen, chalking, and flaking paint removed. This is the single biggest factor in how long a repaint lasts — skipping proper prep is the most common reason repaints fail early.
Bare metal, rust spots, or porous tile surfaces primed to ensure the topcoat bonds properly.
Premium roofing-grade coatings applied, typically in two coats, rated for UV and moisture exposure.
Typically, a roof should be painted every 5 to 10 years, depending on the material and weather conditions. Regular inspections can help determine when it's time for a fresh coat.
Roof painting improves curb appeal, protects against weather damage, enhances energy efficiency by reflecting heat, and prolongs the lifespan of your roof.
While DIY painting is possible, it’s best to hire professionals for quality results. They have the right tools, experience, and safety equipment to ensure the job is done correctly.
The time required depends on roof size, weather conditions, and the type of paint used. Most residential roof painting projects take 1 to 2 days to complete.
Costs vary based on roof size, material, and the condition of the surface. A professional roofer can provide a free estimate after assessing your roof.
