Here are some of the most common myths we’re going to debunk when it comes to a professional roofing restoration:

Myth 1: “It’s just a quick paint job”

Roof restoration is not just about painting over the damaged parts of your roof. It also involves removing all sources of water leakage and damage to roofing materials, repairing them thoroughly before painting.

Myth 2: “It’s just a quick cleaning job”

Restoring your roof is definitely not just about a quick once-over with a pressure washer. It involves a deep cleaning using specialised tools and varying water pressure suitable for the roofing materials. Cleaning enables roofers to potentially uncover damaged parts, even the tiniest holes and cracks that are hidden beneath buildups of dirt and debris.

An inexperienced roofer with a pressure washer is a liability to your home. Not only can excessive high pressure cause unwarranted damage to some roofing materials, but, if used at the incorrect angles or with the wrong attachments - pressure cleaning could force volumes of water under and between roof tiles causing water damage to the home as water leaks into the roof cavity.

Myth 3: “It’s just a quick roof patching job”

Professional roof restoration is not just about patching up holes on your roof but also deals with other long term trouble makers like mould and mildew, leaks, and cracks. An experienced and accredited roofing contractor like ColourMe Painting Roof Restoration provides a full and comprehensive roof inspection before performing any restorative works to ensure that everything about your roofing system is in good shape.

Myth 4: “It takes a long time to finish”

The duration of a roof restoration project may vary due to different factors which could include (but are not limited to) the size of the roof, extent of the damage, weather hold-ups, material sourcing/availability etc.

However, with a reliable roofer at your disposal, the entire process can be completed fairly quickly with minimal interruptions to your day-to-day activities! By the time they have seen your roofing issues, professional roofers know exactly which solutions are best suited for your roofing problem because of their extensive experience and skill.

Myth 5: “All roofing contractors are the same”

One of the top misconceptions about roof restoration is that people think that roofing contractors all do the same thing, have the same qualifications and services offered, but this is not true!

Myth 6: “It’s expensive”

A lot of people thought that having their roof restored would cost them an arm and a leg and that is not true! The cost of a roof restoration dramatically depends on the extent or repairs needed and type of materials needed for the restoration.

It is very crucial that you get in touch with a trustworthy roofing contractor like ColourMe Painting Roof Restoration so that they can give you an honest and accurate quotation and a complete breakdown of all the labour and materials needed for the roofing restoration project. This will ensure that you are paying only the exact cost of your project with no hidden nasties added.

Myth 7: “Restoration won’t last long”

It’s a common misconception that restoring a roof is just a patch-up, short-term solution for roofing problems that will soon wear out. It’s actually not true. A comprehensive roof restoration can enhance the lifespan of your roofing system by repairing and rejuvenating its components. This enables your roofing system to last for years to come.

Myth 8: “It’s just for aesthetics”

One of the benefits of roof restoration is enhancing your roofing’s appeal but it does not end there. There are a lot of advantages that come along with a roof restoration project, some of them are:

• Improved structural durability of your roofing system
• Prolong the lifespan of your roofing system
• Increase in the value of your property
• Helps in energy efficiency
• Security
• Preventative maintenance of wear and tear
