Roof Restoration vs. Replacement: What You Need to Know

Many homeowners assume that a faded or mossy roof means it’s time for a complete replacement, a project that can cost tens of thousands of dollars. However, in 80% of cases, the structure is sound; it’s just the protective coating that has failed. This is where restoration comes in.

Restoration involves treating rust, replacing broken tiles or loose nails, and applying a specialized membrane coating. This process can extend your roof's life by 10 to 15 years at a fraction of the cost of replacement. However, it requires specific technical skills, particularly in safety and coating application. When searching for Roof Painting Hamilton, look for specialists who understand the difference between standard acrylics and specialized roof membranes. A properly painted roof doesn't just look new; it reflects heat, potentially lowering your indoor temperatures during those stifling February afternoons.
