The work

Roof painting in Melbourne.

Roof paint has a hard job. It takes full sun and every storm. The prep under it decides how long it lasts.

Melbourne is the capital of Victoria. Say where the house is, and what the roof is made of.

Metal roofs get their own prep: rust treated and loose screws replaced. Say if you have a metal roof.

The job

Every job is different. This is the usual order.

  1. Clean the roof and let it dry.

  2. Fix cracked tiles, treat rust and replace loose fixings.

  3. Prime bare and treated areas.

  4. Put on the top coats.
