- N Getting ready for sale – there’s not a more cost effective and time efficient way to improve the appeal of a home in many circumstances than preparing and painting it professionally. A large change in colour or a reset of the same colour can remove signs of aging beautifully
- NAs a form of preventative maintenance – in many cases in order to prolong the life of your roof, cleaning, prepping and painting can be an excellent way to give longevity. This could be due to a tin roof losing it’s colour or a tile roof that has lost it’s seal
- NTo improve or change the appearance of your home – in some instances when looking at a way to increase the appeal and enjoyment of your home, for you, painting your roof and gutters can be an amazing transformation – often as the first step to an overhaul!
- N To increase the value of your property – if you’re looking to borrow against your home or generally like to be contributing to gradual improvement of your home, this is again and excellent undertaking
- NGreat for uniformity after repairing an old roof - eg when bright new red tiles stand out next to older tiles, or when new tin sheets are laid next to old — all looks great after a paint.
The top reason you shouldn’t paint your roof
- M Because it could open a can of worms.....For very old roofs that haven’t been touched in many decades often the roof cleaning process, before painting can even begin, can be too abrasive for old weather worn tin or tiles. In these cases, if you are not quite ready to commit to a full restoration it is better off to leave the roof as is until you can.

What kind of roofs can we paint and restore?
Roof Restoration and Roof painting in the Northern Rivers: we paint all kinds of roofs
including colourbond, tiles and commercial roofs.

Tin or Colorbond Roof Painting
When painting a tin roof, it can be especially important to clean the old coating extremely well, for without a proper clean with a very powerful hot water pressure cleaner, the coating can become powdery and loose (making it difficult for the new coating to adhere). FCR can offer you any colour imaginable and in several formats from IRC, a trusted and well known Australian made paint manufacturer. After cleaning, the tin or Colourbond is sprayed with a milky primer (sealing and preparing the roof for two top-coats). In often quick succession on a calm fine day, the top-coat containing colour can be applied and then the final top-coat shortly afterwards due to it’s quick dry time. Thermal protection roof paint can be made available, as well as a range of self-cleaning type paints for maximum visual effect and durability. A glaze coating can also be applied to achieve IRC’s 15 year coating plans.

Tiled
Roof Painting
Tiled roofs can often be dramatically rejuvenated from cleaning and re-coating, making a home or business look and feel really fresh. Like most painting work, the correct preparation of a tiled roof for painting, is absolutely key. Before painting all tiles must be cleaned from all angles by a hot water pressure cleaner to properly sanitize them. After cleaning the bedding and pointing (or tile grout) often needs to be re-done to seal joins. Valleys require cleaning-out thoroughly and where required, a qualified roofer will replace cracked tiles, repair lead work, re-bed and inspect sky-lights. We also have a fantastic sky-light contractor. Every tile roof is primed at least once, then a further two coats of your preferred IRC roofing membrane colour is applied. Unless weather or scale is an issue, once the roof is prepared and dry, all coats of sealer and paint are applied in one day for your convenience.

Terracotta and Tired Roof Painting
Terracotta roofs are sometimes frowned-upon by those whom are charged with maintaining them. At FCR we’re actually always keen to work with terracotta roofs, as we’ve discovered the required methods for cleaning without endangering personnel and absolutely brilliant products to re-coat tired or dry looking terracotta tiles or even regular tiles, to last for many more years. The secret to unglazed terracotta tiles or tired looking concrete tiles (in decent condition), is a double re-coating of a glaze that doesn’t allow the porous material to take in mould as quickly as it usually does – giving it a richer look with an increased durability. Glazed terracotta tiles can also be cleaned successfully and if needed a treatment can also be arranged.

Commercial Roof Painting
FCR is ideally set-up with everything required for quick turnaround commercial roof cleaning and painting services. With two 5000psi hot water pressure cleaning units and powerful spray painting equipment large scale work is where we shine. With scaffolding, cherry picker or even rope and harness access equipment, whether it’s a flat tin roof or high pitched tiled cathedral roof, we’re always available. The economy of scale allows us to prepare a competitive quote and for businesses wanting to inspect and discuss the various coatings, colours and preparation techniques – we will walk you through each part of the job step by step, meeting you at our coating manufacturers plant to inspect the membranes we use if you wish.
Frequently asked questions
How long will the paint last?
The company we buy from, Industrial Roof Coatings provides a market leading 11 year warranty and 20 year on some tile roof applications. This is not to say that the paint won’t oxidise and fade over time because it will. We have created an excellent relationship with our paint suppliers and have had excellent follow up if it’s ever required but you should see your roof paint as a decade long job as a rule of thumb.
Do we need to paint our roof?
There’s nothing to say that anyone needs to paint their roof, in fact some studies suggest that you don’t, but I haven’t met many people who don’t want to at some stage. So, most of the time a roof paint is for the aesthetics and lovliness that a freshly painted roof displays, but naturally it supports with the often harsh elements too, that wear on your roofing materials.
How much will my roof paint cost?
This is generally a per m2 rate that can vary on several factors: size, pitch, age, how much remediation is required and access. One of the other costs that is unavoidable much of the time is the safety mechanisms required by law to ensure that we provide our team with a safe working environment. At FCR we provide a fixed quote during the quoting process on the spot before jumping back in our vehicle.
What’s the best way to maintain a painted roof?
It’s all relatively simple, in that keeping trees and foliage away as much as possible goes a long way; ensuring that it is cleaned and not neglected, suffocating the paint, helps too. But, with a capital B we also advise that not overcleaning your roof with harsh chemicals or over-regularly for the unnecessary wear and tear it causes.
Who should paint my roof?
Like all things business, it’s important to ensure that your service provider knows what they’re doing, is licensed for the painting aspect and who wants to ensure a great job is done in the preparation. At FCR we largely use hot water pressure cleaners for the preparation phase for excellent paint adhesion, as well as replace screws or provide repointing etc. Preparation is key to roof painting.
Before and After roof paint and restoration to prepare a property for sale
Before & After
Here we can see a roof that has been severely neglected; it’s roofing screws are in places beginning to rust quite considerably, paint has faded or gone powdery and even been stripped completely back to a bare surface after pressure cleaning.
The process followed was to replace about 100 roofing screws, remove and replace quite a lot of silicone around inlets, exhaust pipes and where aerials etc were attached to the roof and then spray two thick coats of Gull Grey Sun Tuff Paint.
All in all, this was a complete turn-around before more costly deterioration could set-in.

Great service! My roof repaint 2 years ago looks good as new. Recently cleaned Driveway, back terrace & back concrete area was transformed from grubby to spotless! Highly Recommend this service.😇🙏
Our building company recently engaged Full Circle Refinishing to do a roof restoration on a commercial project in Byron Bay. We found them extremely professional from start to finish and the quality of the job performed was excellent. We would have no hesitation in recommending this business to others in the area.
We recently had the tiles on the roof inspected and re-sealed and the result looks amazing – thanks team 🙂
The first tradie I’ve met in Byron thats been able to return a phone call, lock in a date, turn up on the day at the appointed time, do the job and make sure it was done well. He offered a good price and I’d recommend him to others for sure.
Jake just cleaned our roof. Absolutely perfect work. Nice to get follow-up call from Oliver. Very professional business and we recommend them highly. THANKS GUYS.
Great customer service! Very reliable, came on the date and time they planned ( not common in this industry ) even worked through the public holiday! Guys were fantastic and even covered my washing on the line that I forgot to take off. Well done team 🙂
Jake at FCF was able to restore our very neglected roof back to its former glory, so much so that friends and neighbours thought we had a new roof installed! Love your work guys, thank you.
