Add Property Value with Roof Painting

Whether you plan to sell your house in the near future or not, it always pays to pay attention to the property value of your home.

That way when and if you do choose to sell, you can get the most money for it. One great way to increase the overall value of your house is to paint the roof.

There are many benefits to roof painting on the Sunshine Coast and the experts at Homestyle Roof Painters can help you get the job done right. Here’s why it works.

Improve Kerb Appeal

One thing that really helps to sell houses is the way your home looks on the outside.

Painting the roof is a less costly way to transform the exterior of your house without having to pay to replace the entire roof.

You can give your home a lighter and brighter look and make it appear fresh and new with a simple coat of paint and our roof painters can do a great job to help you.

Reduce Energy Consumption

A painted roof acts as a bit of extra insulation for your home, reducing your energy consumption and lowering your energy bills.

The Colourbond paint we use helps hold the warm air in during the winter and the cool air in during the heat of the summer.

This is a great selling point as all homeowners want to lower their monthly bills and save money.

Reduce Your Carbon Footprint

Energy experts say that painting your roof is good for the environment because lowers energy usage, but also because it reduces your carbon emissions.

In this day and age, many potential home buyers want a house that costs less and is a healthy choice for the community.

When we paint your roof, you are doing your part for the environment and that always feels good.

Protects Your House

When we paint your roof it also helps protect your home by eliminating moss and lichen growth, which sometimes occurs in places that don’t get a lot of sun.

This helps prolong the lifespan of your roof and ensures that you don’t have to replace it more often than is necessary.

It also protects against cracks and holes in the roof that need to be repaired before they cause further issues.

The Benefits Of Repainting Your Roof

Painting your roof serves many purposes.

It’s a newer property trend that has several benefits for your home or business and as experts in roof painting Brisbane, our staff here at Homestyle Roof Painters are trained to use the latest materials and techniques.

If you’ve never considered painting your roof, this list of benefits should help you see why it’s such a great choice.

Lowers energy use

Roof painting started out as a cosmetic treatment to give a home or business a visual appeal that can be lacking with traditional roofing materials.

However, many people who made the choice began to notice that our Colorbond paint helped reduce their energy usage.

This isn’t true of all colours, but light ones, especially white, can help reflect up to 85% of the sun’s UV rays, reducing your expenditure on cooling your home.

Improves air quality

Our roofing experts also say that a painted roof can help lower the toxins in the atmosphere and reduce carbon emissions at the same time.

Some experts say that painting your roof white is equivalent to taking one car off the road for 11 years.

If you want a pleasing look, but also want one that’s eco-friendly, white roof paint is definitely a choice you should make.

This is one of the benefits that we always want homeowners to hear about when they’re considering roof painting in Brisbane.

Cools the building

As mentioned above, our white or other light shades of Colorbond roof paint helps reflect the sun’s rays, which is great for cooling your home or business during the hottest parts of the year.

By deflecting the sun from the top of the building, you keep it from getting hotter inside and that cuts back on your cooling needs, while also creating a comfortable environment for work and play.

Visual appeal

Painting your roof might be great for your energy use and the environment, but it’s no secret that it also looks good.

A white roof is visually appealing and gives your home or business and clean, crisp look that looks great with whatever colour of exterior paint or finish your home or building has.

A light-coloured roof can be colour matched to your existing home colour, whether your property is brick, rendered or timber.

Let us professionally paint your roof and you’ll love the kerb appeal that it offers as much as you love saving money on your energy bills and the good feeling it gives you to do something great for the environment.

Tips For Choosing The Right Roof Colour

Whether you are sprucing up your home to sell it or just to maintain its look and/or integrity, your roof is an important aspect.

The team at Homestyle Roof Painters offer all options for roof restoration in Brisbane including painting.

Painting the roof of your home is a great idea for several reasons, but the biggest advantages being that it can save you on cooling costs and lends an aesthetic appeal to your home.

Here’s what to consider when choosing the right roof colour for your roof restoration.

Location

The area you live should play a role in determining the colour you choose for you roof.

We recommend earthy colours for home in rural areas, subtle blue or brown colours for homes near the coast, and something bright and noticeable for a home in an urban environment.

There are plenty of hues in each colour range, so you may want to do some matching to the exterior of your home before making a final decision.

Heritage colours

When it comes to roof restoration in Brisbane, make sure you consider heritage colours.

Certain neighbourhoods are considered heritage areas and there are usually special guidelines regarding making changes to your home if you live in such an area.

In many cases, you’ll be restricted to just a few roof colour choices. We can help you find those options if you live in a heritage neighbourhood.

Matching

As mentioned above, you will want to match your roof colour to the exterior of your home.

Consider the colour of your siding, the brick, your shutters, your door and anything else on the outside of your house.

You want the roof colour to blend in, not stand out in a garish way.

Use paint samples or our online paint previewer to see how certain colours will look on your roof, when matched with everything else on the house.

Things to avoid

We suggest staying away from very bright or stark colours if you live in a tree-lined area or a space with a lot of foliage.

Choosing a muted earth colour enables your home to blend in with the surroundings and create a soothing colour palette.

In these areas, bright colours will not look that good. Likewise, if your neighbourhood is one that sees a lot of neutral colours, your home will stand out (and not in a good way) if you choose a colour that is the opposite.

When you’re ready to choose a paint colour for your roof, call Homestyle Roof Painters.

Do You Need a Reliable Roof Painter?

Your roof is literally your home’s crowning glory.

Finding a roof painter that effectively does tile roof painting in Brisbane such as Homestyle Roof Painters is just what you need.

This will keep the upkeep the aesthetic appeal of your home and give it added protection.

It is an essential part of any home and it can become costly if not properly maintained and repaired.

It can also become an eyesore if the tiles are not looking their best.

You may wonder how to go about finding the best roofing services.

When scouting for the ideal roofing technicians in the industry, lookout for these three qualities:

Licensed

Licensing requirements differ from state to state. In some areas, you may not need a licensed contractor to perform minor repairs or tile roof painting in Brisbane.

It is still important to hire someone with professional qualifications if you want the job done right.

Roofing licenses in Queensland are issued by the Queensland Building & Construction Commission so it is always worth checking if the company is complying with local regulations.

The two classes of general licenses include nominee supervisor and trade contractor.

Any person or company that works on roofing tasks valued more than AUD$3,300 should obtain the necessary licenses.

However, it is a requirement that a roofing contractor holds one or both of the following licenses: roof tiling and roof and wall cladding respectively.

Skilled & Safety-Conscious

A good roof painter will have a winning combination of professional work experience and adherence to all occupational health and safety measures.

Look for a company that is insured and is outfitted with the right personal protection gear and equipment when on the job.

A skilled painter will know how to diagnose and treat the condition of your roof.

They will have extensive knowledge and be able to work with different types of roofing materials: from tiles to metal sheets, as well as various roof priming treatments and undercoats.

If you need tile roof painting in Brisbane, your roof painter may have to repair the ridge capping and re-bed to strengthen the adhesion of the roof tiles before repainting.

Dedicated

Above all, a dedicated roofer will constantly make checks to ensure the quality of their service and performance, no matter the size of the job.
