Roof painting Melbourne
Faded roof? Wash it. Then coat it — if it will last.
VicWide quotes roof painting after we see the surface. Concrete tile and metal coatings. If the ridge has failed or it is leaking, we say so and stop. We do not re-roof.
- Wash before paint — coating over moss is a waste of money
- Honest no — we will not paint a roof that needs a roofer
- Photo quote — suburb, storeys, two shots of the plane
When a wash is not enough
Oxidised concrete tiles stay pale after a clean. That is a coating job.
A wash restores colour that is still in the tile. If the factory finish is gone, paint is the next step — after prep, not instead of it. We quote wash and coat as a sequence. Leaks, rotten battens and failed pointing are not a paint job.
What you get
Paint that follows a real wash
Concrete tile coating
Even charcoal or colour-matched acrylic after a wash and dry. Not a plastic shine.
Metal refresh
Where the sheet still has life. Flaking factory paint gets an honest note, not a cover-up.
Inspect before coat
We lift a tile, check sarking and ridges. If it should not be painted, you hear it in writing.
How it runs
Coat only after the roof is ready
Inspect
Photos, pitch, leaks, pointing. Stop if it is a roofing repair.
Wash & dry
Soft wash, growth dead, surface dry enough to take coating.
Prime / coat
Even passes. Edges, flashings and solar kept clean.
Handover
Photos of the finished plane. Maintenance notes, not a fake 15-year miracle.
Reviews
Melbourne homes after the job
★★★★★
“Quoted from two phone photos the same afternoon. Honest that a cracked ridge was a roofer, not them.”
James T. · Point Cook
★★★★★
“South pitch was black with lichen. They washed it properly first — no rushing straight to paint.”
Sarah M. · Glen Waverley
★★★★★
“Colorbond tannin stains treated without swirl marks. Straight talk on what paint would and would not fix.”

Questions
Before you book
Can you paint without cleaning?
No. Coating over moss and powder fails. Wash and dry are in the quote.
How long does a roof coating last?
It depends on pitch, trees and the existing tile. We give a realistic band, not a 20-year sticker.
Do you re-roof?
No. Failed structure, rotten battens and leaking valleys go to a licensed roofing contractor.
