What roof types can you paint?

Concrete and clay tile, Decramastic (pressed metal tile), and Colorsteel and other long-run steel. Each gets the right primer and topcoat system, since a tile roof behaves very differently to steel.

What does a roof restoration involve?

We water-blast the roof clean, treat moss and lichen, repair and re-bed where needed, then apply a three-coat system: primer or sealer plus two topcoats. The result protects the roof and resets how it looks.

Do you treat moss and lichen?

Yes, always. Moss and lichen hold moisture against the roof and break down the surface. We treat it as part of the prep so it does not grow straight back through the new coating.

Is roof painting worth it versus replacement?

Often, yes. If the roof is structurally sound but faded, chalking or growing moss, a recoat costs a fraction of replacement and adds years of life. If it's failed structurally we'll tell you straight rather than paint over a problem.

Do you do free quotes?

Yes. We inspect the roof, check the type and condition, and send a fixed written quote within one working day. No charge, no obligation.

Roof was green with moss. They blasted it, fixed a few tiles, and sprayed a proper three-coat system. Looks new and the house feels warmer.

How we work

Our roof painting process.

Four steps, every job. Each one with a hold point. No surprises, no scope creep, no painting over problems we should have caught earlier.

Inspection and quote

We get on the roof, check the tiles or steel, flag repairs and moss treatment, and quote on the actual condition.

Painter on site working on a white plastered exterior

Clean and treat

Moss and lichen killed off, the roof waterblasted back to a clean, sound surface, and left to dry before anything is sprayed.

Repair and prime

Broken or slipped tiles, rusted fixings, and failed flashings sorted, then a primer or sealer coat on the prepared surface.

Exterior repaint on a cream home with a tile roof

Spray the system

A full sprayed coating system, sealer or membrane plus topcoats, in the colour you signed off. It protects the roof and lifts the whole house.

Reviews

What Christchurch homeowners say

"Intext Plaster & Paint did the painting on our new build in Faringdon. Builder recommended them and I can see why. Clean lines on the ceilings, no overspray on the cedar accents, no callbacks. They were on site exactly when our builder said they would be, which apparently isn't normal."

"Got three quotes for repainting the weatherboard front and side of our place. Intext Plaster & Paint wasn't the cheapest but they walked through the flaking and prep issues no-one else had picked up. Crew turned up when they said, finished a day early, and the finish is genuinely better than what was there originally."

"We had a leak at the back of the house that turned into major exterior repairs, so the interior needed repainting once the builders were done. Intext Plaster & Paint handled the painting and were the easiest part of a stressful process. They flagged a couple of damp patches the builder hadn't fully dried out before they started, and the finish blends in perfectly with the rooms we didn't touch."

FAQs

Common questions about roof painting.

Most roof restorations run between $3,500 and $8,000 depending on the size, pitch, roof type and how much moss and prep is involved. Decramastic and old tile roofs usually need more prep than tidy Colorsteel. We quote after an inspection.
