Your Albion Park Roof Restoration Service
Roof restoration is a popular service that we offer, and it’s not surprising because the end results are spectacular. Not only does roof restoration leave your property looking like a million bucks, but it also extends the lifespan of your roof and offers you peace of mind for years to come.
Our Albion Park roof restoration crew carries out a thorough roof inspection and clean, which allows them to identify any areas that may need attention, such as damaged tiles or ridge capping that needs replacing. Both internal and external inspections help to detect any roof leaks. We can then address all those issues and completely rejuvenate your roof. The entire roof restoration process includes cleaning, repairing, priming, and repainting your roof. The end result will have you wondering why you didn’t do it years ago.
What are the benefits of roof restoration?
Painting your walls gives a great aesthetic boost, but adds little value on a practical level. Replacing your lights with LED offers little impact visually, but is a good return on investment for your power bill. The great thing about roof restoration is that it gives an attractive facelift to your property while offering improved resilience to the elements and adding longevity to your roof at the same time.
So, what are the main benefits of roof restoration?
Increase the market value of your home:
For Albion Park property owners planning to sell their homes or even seeking a bank valuation, roof restoration is a great choice. Professional roof restoration can make a property look decades younger and really lift the curb appeal. A well-kept roof can give potential buyers confidence too and the investment now can save delays and hiccups with building inspections that form part of the sales process later on.
Increase energy efficiency:
Cracked roof tiles and gaps in your roof can allow warm air to escape from your home. With the ever-increasing energy costs in NSW, it’s financially and environmentally wise to make your home as insulated as possible. We recommend you use a professional roofer to conduct a roof inspection every five years.
Peace of mind during wild weather:
Extreme weather events have affected southeast NSW over the past few years and have exposed underlying issues in homes throughout Albion Park and the wider Illawarra. Rest easy knowing your roof is structurally sound and impermeable when the next severe thunderstorm rolls through.
Pest Control:
Illawarra roofs can be attractive as a habitat for various types of wildlife, such as bats, rodents, possums, birds… even snakes! Creatures that take up residence within your roof can cause damage and result in unpleasant consequences such as odours and disease. It is simpler to maintain your roof and prevent those unwanted guests from getting in than having to locate and remove them after the fact.
Extend the life of your roof:
Addressing minor damage and weak spots in your roof is much less hassle and more cost-effective than undergoing a complete roof replacement. Scheduling a roof restoration on your own timeline is also less stressful and costly than frantically organising emergency repairs following a major storm. If you plan on owning your home for an extended period, we see roof restoration as an investment rather than an expense.
Meet your home insurance obligations:
Did you know that many building insurance policies have specific requirements for homeowners to adequately maintain their property? Property maintenance includes addressing blocked or clogged gutters, as well as repairing and replacing rusted and worn roof components. Failure to address the upkeep of your roof can result in an insurance claim being rejected. Avoid the possibility of having to battle with your insurer by making sure you meet your obligations as the property owner.
Is roof restoration right for you?
Properties in Albion Park and the greater Illawarra get impacted by strong winds, the fallout from trees, and significant weather events, including drought, floods, thunderstorms, and hail. Many people overlook roof maintenance until it’s staring them in the face – here are some things you should look out for that might indicate a roof restoration is right for you:
- Leaking roofs.
While major leaks are generally obvious and easy to spot, small roof leaks may only be detected through gradual discolouration or mould growth in the ceiling or roof space. A single roof leak may be a simple repair, but when it comes to more widespread damage, it can be worth considering roof restoration. - Old roofs.
Concrete and terracotta tile roofs can usually stay in good condition for about 20-25 years. The lifespan of your tiled roof can vary depending on factors such as maintenance and the degree of environmental exposure it has had to withstand. As your property gets older, repairs can become more frequent and more costly. Roof restoration can be a more cost-effective solution over the long term than paying for several smaller repairs, particularly if you intend on staying in the property for years to come. - Ineffective guttering and downpipes.
Leaking, blocked and rusted gutters can’t redirect water away from your property efficiently. This can result in more problems if water is allowed to pool or penetrate fascia, wall cavities, and ceilings. - Dislodged or damaged roof tiles.
A single misplaced or broken tile can compromise the entire roofing system and can allow water to get in. If ignored, this can eventually lead to the rotting of structural timber components in your roof. - Damaged valleys.
Roof valleys make sure water flows off your roof and not into it. Deterioration or damage to valleys should be addressed straight away. It’s also important to check for signs of wear around chimneys, vents, or skylights. - Sagging roofs.
Compromised rafters will result in visible sagging across the roof surface. If your roof appears to be sagging, call a professional roof service to investigate. - Rusting of fixtures and fastenings.
Corrosion of the fastenings in your roof can indicate water pooling, and if left unattended, may compromise the structural integrity of your roof. Corroded fixtures must be replaced as needed. - Mould growth.
Mould is an indication of moisture in your home. Exposure to mould can have some pretty serious health effects, especially for those with respiratory issues. - Worn or damaged flashing.
We can replace tar or cement flashing found in aged roofs with metal flashing if the current flashing is cracked or deteriorated.
