Roof Restoration Brisbane

A full restoration, clean, repair, re-point, reseal, adds 10 to 15 years to a tired roof for roughly a third of replacement cost. For most Brisbane homes, it's the smartest money in roofing.

Most tired roofs don't need replacing. They need restoring.

Look at a 30-year-old Brisbane roof and you'll see moss, faded coating, cracked pointing and a few broken tiles. It looks terminal. Structurally, most of these roofs are fine. What's failed is the protective layer, and that's what a restoration rebuilds.

What a proper restoration includes

  • Repairs first, broken tiles replaced, rust treated, valleys checked. Coating over damage is how cheap restorations fail.
  • High-pressure clean, 4000+ psi strips moss, lichen, dirt and failed coating back to bare tile or metal.
  • Re-bedding and re-pointing, ridge and hip caps re-bedded where needed, finished in flexible pointing.
  • Primer plus two coats of membrane, premium acrylic membrane in your colour choice, including heat-reflective options that drop roof-space temperatures noticeably.
  • Written warranty on coating adhesion and workmanship, with the term set out in your quote.

Restoration vs replacement, in dollars

A quality restoration on a typical Brisbane home runs $4,000 to $9,000 depending on size, pitch and repairs. A full tile-to-Colorbond replacement starts around $15,000. If the roof structure is sound, restoration delivers most of the lifespan benefit for a fraction of the cost. If it isn't, we'll show you why with photos. We do both, so the advice is clean.

The visual difference

The photo on this page is the standard we work to: an older Queenslander roof reading as new again, every fixing sealed and the coating doing its job. Beyond looks, a restored roof sheds water properly, seals every fixing, and, with a modern reflective membrane, cuts summer cooling costs.

Frequently asked questions

The questions Brisbane homeowners ask us most.

How long does a restoration take?

Two to four days for a standard home: clean one day, repairs and pointing the next, then coating. Weather can stretch this, we won't coat a damp roof.

How long does it last?

With proper preparation and a premium membrane, 10 to 15 years. Cheap one-coat restorations fail in three to five. Preparation is the difference.

Do you restore tile and metal roofs?

Yes. Tile gets clean, repair, re-point, membrane. Metal gets clean, rust treatment, re-screw, primer, membrane. Same result: a sealed, protected roof.

Will restoration fix my leaks?

Yes. Repairs are step one of every restoration, before any coating goes on. We don't seal over problems.
