ReKote ensures that every project is handled with the client's needs leading the way, which has been the key to our reputation for exceptional quality and expertise in roof restoration.
The outside world constantly batters roofs. From storms, hail and debris to the blistering Australian sun, your home's roof is the key to keeping the elements out of your home. Unfortunately, this also means that your roof takes a lot of punishment daily and is prone to become damaged and old over time.
If your roof has undergone some wear and tear, like loose tiles or faded paint, it might be time for a roof restoration. A proper roof restoration is a necessary part of roof maintenance. It ensures that your roof looks fantastic all year round and can fix some of the smaller problems that might be affecting it before they become big, expensive issues.
Every ReKote restoration follows our tried and tested process to ensure that your roof comes out looking better than the day it was installed.
Residential Roof Restoration
We offer roof restorations as a part of our roofing services. A roof restoration will replace your old roof, removing its flaws and enhancing your home. No matter the reason for the disrepair, our experts identify the problems and reinforce your new roof. Our roof restoration services ensure a stronger, longer-lasting and more sustainable quality roof over your head.
Restoration is not always the right answer. Where the tiles or the structure beneath them are past repair, a full roof replacement or a reroofing will serve you better than restoring a roof that has reached the end of its life. We will inspect your roof and tell you honestly which of the three it needs.
The Way We Restore Your House Roof
1 Thorough Roof Inspection
We start all roof restorations by checking the roof surface for oxidisation levels broken tiles, and make sure all repairs are complete.
2 High-pressure cleaning
This is one of the most important parts of roof restorations – the purpose of this process is to remove any oxidisation from the roof surface (failure to complete this part of the job successfully will result in peeling and cracking of the paint). This will allow the primer/sealer to do its job properly and create a lasting finish.
3. Re-pointing and re-bedding the ridge and/or gables
After the pressure cleaning, the next step in the roof restoration involves using a C3-rated flexi point to re-point all ridges and gables; in some cases, if the mortar has badly deteriorated, we will have to rebed the ridge. In this case, we remove the tile or ridge, clean out the old mortar and set the ridge or tile with a 4-1 bedding cement mix and then we will continue with the pointing process.
4 The application of the primer/sealer
Not all roof surfaces are the same i.e. metal, concrete and terracotta and the way that they age under the harsh Australian elements can vary a lot so it is important that all roofs are inspected properly to make sure the correct primer/sealer is used during the roof restoration. This will make sure that the paint bonds with the roof surface for years to come.
5 Masking hand painting
Roof restorations for houses with exposed cladding or solar panels must be masked or hand painted so that no over-spray is caused.
6 Roof Painting and Polishing
This is the final process to take place now we have all the prep work complete we can start our paint application we apply 2 coats using an airless spray gun to ensure an nice even coating and in most cases we use a Nutech tile flex paint that insures a premium finish for years to come. Job completed!

Roof Restoration FAQs
What is a roof restoration?
A roof restoration is a full-service process that inspects, high-pressure cleans, re-beds and re-points ridges and gables, applies a primer/sealer suited to the roof surface, and finishes with two coats of quality tile-flex paint — returning your existing roof to like-new condition without full replacement.
What warranty does ReKote offer on roof restorations?
ReKote Roofing & Restorations offers a 6-year warranty on all roof restoration workmanship.
What is the difference between roof restoration and roof replacement?
A roof restoration cleans, repairs and repaints your existing tiles and structure, extending the roof's life at a lower cost. A full roof replacement removes all existing materials and installs a new roof structure from scratch. Restoration is the cost-effective option when the underlying structure is still sound.
How long does a roof restoration take?
Most residential roof restorations take about three days to complete, depending on the size and condition of the roof, the material it is made from, and the weather.
